    When a character touches a door and it ominously opens, what do they do? They trespass onto private property to investigate. Then when the home owner returns, he presumably decided to sneak up on the person as quietly as possible so when they turn around, they will walk right into a jump scare. What's funny is that the movie DOES THIS CLICHE TWICE! TWICE!

    Is it a good movie? Hell no, but I had a lot of fun with it. That's more than I can say about “Tekken”, “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li” or “Mortal Kombat 2”, all of which might've been technically superior (well, maybe not the latter), but were a lot more generic and boring.

    “Open Water 2: Adrift” apparently was written as an original story, but someone decided to turn it into a sequel to the polarizing “Open Water” in order to cash in on its success. I'd say this usually spells failure but it seems like I've been having a fair amount of luck with converted sequels as of late. “Open Water 2” is a flawed movie, but I honestly thought it was startlingly effective. It reminded me that both of these films relied almost exclusively on their emotional impact upon the viewer, so you can't just judge either of them as good or bad. I thought “Open Water 2” was a far more rewarding experience than the first film and it doesn't even have sharks!
