Admirably low-budget but not very good, this digital video feature by Chris Kentis plays effectively on primal fears of abandonment, helplessness in elemental vastness, and of course man-eating sharks, in a tale of two divers left behind by their excursion boat in the open seas. But that’s it as far as the story goes, as emptily “high concept” as any thriller, enough to creep us out for its brisk running time but with insufficient characterization to make us actually care whether the couple is rescued or eaten. (2004, dvd, n.) *5+* (MC-63, RT-72)
