12 Feet Deep

Don't bother watching this terrible movie.

"Inspired by true events" is an absolute lie and the director admits it's not based on a particular story.

This is by far the worst movie I have seen in YEARS.

So many things wrong in this movie.

Standing on the grate she's trying to lift up.

Both gals diving in for a ring instead of telling the manager.

Bringing up old unnecessary family drama instead of focusing on the task at hand.

Conveniently has a serious medical issue.

A heated pool that once turned off instantly hits freezing temperatures.

And don't forget to throw in a sadistic janitor.

This was god awful/ lazy directing. I regret having watched this.

I dont know why everyone is giving this such a bad rating. For what it is, a low budget film. It holds its own with Frozen, Buried and the like and i actually enjoyed it. Sure its average acting etc, but i couldnt take my eyes off the screen. If you like Frozen, Deep Blue Sea, etc give it a go.

1 glass of wine in and I decided to give this one a go. Before I go any further I have to admit that I suffer from a fear of underwater drains. Anything man made underwater actually.. drains, lights, windows.. they all give me the heebie jeebie's. I have been this way as long as I can remember and I can no longer swim in pools. Google it, it isn't just me.

I'm not sure why this movie is getting so much hate. I totally enjoyed it. For a movie that had to be carried by only 2 actors and had only one setting it was done really well. It was also a very original idea and that is always something that I am looking for. The acting was great and I thought that the characters acted exactly as they should.

I read all of the reviews before watching and I don't agree with any of them. This isn't the most awesome thing this year and it isn't the worst. If you are looking for a big budget, action packed movie this isn't for you. If you want a slow burn thriller then give it a go.

On the surface the movie has a simple plot. Two young women, sisters, are trapped inside of a pool, unable to leave while a thick fiberglass cover was put in place. However, the distressing situation turns heated when the two begin discussing their unresolved issues. Skeletons come out of the closet, teeth are bared, and hatchets are dug up for review! Before long though their predicament turns dire and a rogue third element is introduced which puts their love for each other to a test.

This is the epitome of a character driven story. It proves you don't need to have a large cast, expensive effects, or a heavy use of CGI to have a compelling story told. I found it to be wonderfully entertaining and well acted. I did lose a little interest about midway through, but this was likely because I had a hard time relating to any of the main characters, but towards the end I was firmly entrenched in seeing to their welfare.

Excellent job!

I'll keep this review brief. The movie can help you pass the 90 minutes. The concept is intriguing, the setting is terrifying, and the older sister (Bree) is a good actress. So it's not that bad.

But there are many instances where you will get frustrated or roll your eyes. First, the main characters make a lot of idiotic choices when they are trapped. I won't spoil anything. I'll just say that they spend too much time arguing with each other nonstop instead of working together intelligently. Secondly, the movie adds a villain, the night janitor. The villain's plot is unworkable, unconvincing. And the movie does not adequately explain her feelings and motivations.
