There are few things on Earth as beautiful, awe-inspiring, and simultaneously terrifying as the ocean, and 2003's horror film Open Water is acutely aware of the latter. Loosely based on the true story of Tom and Eileen Lonergan, the film depicts the harrowing trials of a married couple, Daniel (Daniel Travis) and Susan (Blanchard Ryan), who are stranded in the middle of the ocean when their scuba diving group accidentally leaves them behind. What ensues is pretty much every oceanic nightmare you might imagine, short of a kraken attack: It begins early (and innocently enough) with petty bickering between the couple, but quickly escalates to panic, dehydration, swarming jellyfish, and circling sharks, and you know when sharks are involved, it's all downhill. Made for just $500,000, Open Water offers a lot of bang for its buck, immersing the viewer in a palpable sense of dread and reminding all of us why our planet's most abundant resource is also one of its most frightening habitats.
