OPEN WATER

Lions Gate Films; Directed by Chris Kentis

Rated R; 79 minutes; 2004

 

Based on a true story this film tells the tragic story of Susan and Daniel, a married couple on vacation left in the middle of the ocean by a careless diving boat crew.  They come up from their dive to discover that they have been abandoned and turn to one another for support.  That quickly turns to anger, which turns to fear and panic and finally the terror of their situation sets in as the sharks circle ever closer to the doomed pair.

 

 

PROMOTION IDEA:

 

This film has been labeled the new ÒJawsÓ.  Show both of these horror films in a wet and wild double feature.

Bring in a scuba diving instructor (if applicable to your region) and let them provide a demonstration on scuba diving safety as well as the proper precautions to take when selecting dive boat crew.
