Alien at the Movies

 Something in the Water

It’s “Open Water” meets “Adrift” meets “The Shallows” when 5 ladies/best friends attend a destination wedding in the West Indies. Ruth, Cam, Lizzie, Kayla, & Meg take a girls fun day at a secluded island miles off shore from their resort hotel the day before the big wedding. What could go wrong? But there is a bridezilla, an estranged lesbian couple, a shark bite, a rented skiff, shallow reefs, a non-swimmer, one life jacket, one knife, one buoy, no cell phone service, & something circling in the waters. As exhaustion & desperation sets in, tempers flare, bricking begins, & blame is laid. Will anyone survive bobbing up & down in these waters for hours? It’s fairly predictable except for which of  these “ten little Indians” will escape from being shark bait.

Alien gives it 2½ “bracelets” stars out of 4.
