The one positive thing I can say about this film is that it was fast moving. Having said that, it was so fast, that the plot left me behind. I was totally bemused by the end. As I knew someone else in my screening, I hoped he could explain it to me. Nope, he hadn't a clue either and neither did two other people I know who watched it.

It felt like it had been badly edited at times and that scenes were missing but I don't think that explains why it was so confusing.

Dear film-makers, if you want positive reviews, then have your films make sense.

I really wanted to like and enjoy this film as the synopsis was interesting. Sadly, that wasn't the case.

I really enjoyed The Dive. It was tense and held my attention throughout.

As for horror, it wasn't for the Paranormal Activity/banging doors brigade. It was a different kind of horror-real life horror. Sadly people do find themselves in situations like this and I'm damn sure they find it horrific. I empathised with the problem of fighting for breath as someone with severe asthma. It's no joke thinking you can't get enough oxygen into your lungs.

The only time my mind wandered was when I wondered if The Meg would put in an appearance and a short time later the trapped sister said she had seen something. Yep, I thought, she saw the Meg too.

All in all, I was a fan of this film.

I'm stunned that the film makers decided to trivialise such a serious subject and as for the way it ended; that left a very bad taste in my mouth!
