OPEN WATER -- In a movie some critics have described as a cross between Jaws and The Blair Witch Project, an American couple is accidentally left behind while scuba-diving on a tropical reef. Cold, lonely and far from land, the couple is adrift in shark-infested waters hoping they survive until morning. Rated R
