The end suggests a sequel I really hope they don't make any more.
When someone does a decent Open Water (maVen??), get that it's far far better.
first off, its boring cause it has a plot...god forbid if anyone remembers when horror movies had plots. you wanna know what happened to the "tension" ? nothing, "tension" is the reason Horror movies are going extinct, it used to be bout the endless evil that killed killed killed till he finally was defeated by the good guy. thats how films like the Gate, halloween, nightmare on elm st, friday 13th, etc did so well, small plots, lots of gore, fast action and scenes that keep you guessing whats next. then the Thriller was invented..the SUpsense thriller, the Mystery Thriller, the Crap Thriller...these ruined Horror movies, by building so much tension that there is just a regular plot, nothing scary just tense scenes that build up to nothing delivering, like the american Ring, Psycho , 6th sense, etc....these are on their own good movies but their thrillers blurr people's perception of what a Horror movie should be. For example , Open Water, that movie sucks...you know why it scares people ? cause it will never happen to them or it has never happened to them. it happened to two people, loosely based off their true events...which means that people are instantly frightened and terrified and intrigued because its something they never experienced. Horror films were dying because people didnt like the same repetitive plotlines...which is what the genre is about, so if you dont like it, its not cause the movie sucks, its because you cant understand the genre. Also as for the sequel, this is prequel to the first one, so try to stay focused on what you are going to go see in the theaters.

This would be a quality flick except for the fact that its years after the original and its supposed to be a prequal. WTF are they thinking? Don't mess with something thats good. THe movie is directed well. and edited to a tee and thats the only reason it sent chills down my back. I've only seen the sample, but it looks nice. There is a little bit of cropping if i remember the scene correctly, but nothing too bothersome. Colors are great as always from maVen. Props to them 8/8(very crisp)/6
again i cant stress that you are the type of person that is wrong with this forrum. disagree ? reread your fucking post. next time try a better translator. IT is a prequel it happens before the first one, not after. Also you watched the sample...thats it, not the fucking movie and you rated the movie, that you thought sucked.. awesome, already you are a moron.
other than that...i think he just describes himself with his comment, i just wanted to point it out more.....votes here are extremely bias, i hope most readers here take precautions on the tripe they listen to.

.. I'm starting to think that these ratings are far more then subjective based on what I'm seeing here. Some of these comments are characteristic of a vendictive babbling rosy palmed adolescent. I really hope this board stops accepting 'film critic' applications from some of these geniouses that can't tell the difference between their mouth from their asshole. 
coming in late, but nothing major at all. The Audio was near perfect as usual. It really came through on the Home Theater System nicely. The movie itself Rocked as well. Personally, I thought it was done very nicely. I know it's just a movie but Always remember, God is always there for ya. No matter what. Agian THANKS maVen for yet Another Excellent Quality Release. I really appreciate all the Hard Work you guys put in to make these movies happen. You Guys ROCK!!!
