12 Feet Deep - Gefangen im Wasser

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.

Oh boy where do I start, the whole film is based on extreme human stupidity.

The actual film is OKish, nothing we haven't seen before where people get stuck in a box and the whole film is about discovering the characters, finally them getting out or dying, however this film relies heavily around the main characters behaving like little children.

Without going into too much detail there isn't really anything to say besides what you see on the cover, the story is just non existent, seems more like a demo for the producer.Budget wise it doesn't look cheap but surely it didn't cost more than $50k to make.

The hero of this film was the guy that lost his pants in the pool... literally, I am not even kidding.

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.

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.

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.
