OPEN WATER
July 26, 2012  | By David Bianculli

IFC, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
It’s a bold claim, but it’s true: This low-budget 2003 film is the scariest, most engrossing aquatic thriller since Jaws. Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis play a couple who go out on a scuba boat while on vacation in a foreign land – and the boat accidentally leaves them behind, stranded in the open ocean in waters occupied by, among other creatures, sharks. The sound and images in the movie are hauntingly naturalistic, putting you right there in the water – even when you don’t want to be.
