FX channel played that movie from a few years ago, Open Water. Anyone seen that before? When it first came out I avoided the hell out of it, cause they always air shark stuff during the summer, and I think the year it came out I was planning a beach vacation and the last thing I need is to see some shark horror movie LOL. So I decided to go ahead and watch it today, and man I can't get it out of my head now. Something about how they filmed it, almost like a home video the way the camera went. Not a lot of sound either. Very little music for emphasis. I think they made this movie with what information they had, and how they think it went for the poor couple, left in the middle of the ocean. I mean, every single moment of this movie just feels so realistic in how they did it, you can completely imagine how you yourself would be in that situation, it makes you understand the horror. They did a really good job filming this movie in that simplistic way. Especially with camera shots at water level, giving the watcher a good idea of what the couple themselves saw. No big acting or drama, just realistic in a raw way.
And man I'm so pissed off cause it all could have prevented so easily! Just a really horrifying movie, but not gory btw. The way they make it, they don't have to do the gore to get the watcher to feel the absolute desparate situation of it all. And the fact that it is all so stupid, one idiot did an idiot thing, and you are dead in a terrible way. It's almost typical. Ugg.
Anyway, what have you watched or rented recently, anything good?
