^ This film was absolutely feeble. Technically it's pretty terrible, looking like was shot by a bunch of film students barely out of school, the plot is so thin it's almost non-existant, it's riddled with inaccuracies, the ending's dreadful, and the characters are thrust on us with literally no back story, making it hard to care about them and actually want them to get in harm's way just to spice up this hideously overlong borefest of a movie. Seriously, about 90% of the run-time consists of the two characters bobbing up and down in the ocean and NOTHING HAPPENING TO THEM.

I'd say it was a waste of my time but, hey, it's not like I had anything better to do.

^ This wasn't half bad though. Nothing amazing, but nothing bad either. The plot's a tad underworked and therefore confusing, and the twist at the end seemed kinda contrived to me. The premise was interesting, the sets looked pretty cool, and at points this thing did manage to pull off a genuinely chilling vibe. It was just good entertainment to me really - I didn't exactly go into this expecting to have mind blown as well.
