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.

There are thousands of votes averaging currently at 8, so I'm going to assume some may have mistaken this for "47 Meters Down", because it doesn't quite pack the same punch. That doesn't make it not worth watching though.

Inspired by true events, two sisters become trapped under the fiberglass cover of an Olympic sized public pool during a rushed closing for the holidays. The movie takes place completely in and around the pool area but it's engaging throughout.

What we have here is a pretty original idea for a Drama/Thriller but the script and logic is on the simpler side. With only a few minor changes, you'd have a great movie here for what it is.

Note: Jigsaw from the Saw series plays a small but entertaining role.

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.

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.

Look I think most people miss the idea here, yes it's suspense movie not a horror, but beyond that, it's about a pretty scary situation that brings two sisters together who at this stage of their lives don't really understand each other.This is a result of some hectic stuff that happened in their past.

Look it's not without some faults, but I found myself engrossed, hoping for them to not only get out of the situation they are in, but to find each other, to whatever end.

It's well worth the time for the fact that there is a meaning here, especially if you're a lady, who has a sister, and the lengths you'll go to try help her in a dire situation. This applies to guys too who have siblings, be them brothers or sisters, or any family member for that matter.

As I said its not perfect, but the acting is solid, I thought these young ladies did very well portraying their characters. It's a good movie, it deserves more than the rating it has.

I gave it 7/10.
