10 Movies Where Characters Get Trapped In Ridiculous Places

9. Open Water 2: Adrift

Open Water 2
Lionsgate

The Open Water sequel that actually predates Open Water, in the form of an already-existing script which was greenlit once the no-budget, big bucks shark movie proved popular. Adrift (the original title) has no sharks, but just as much water, and characters who are entirely to blame for their own hilarious fate.

Taking off for the weekend in a luxury yacht, a group of pretty young things (plus baby) become stranded in the water when, before said dip, the lot of them forget to let down the ladder to get back onto the boat.

The sharks, as it happens, weren't even necessary; this dim lot manage to get themselves killed just as fast as if Bruce himself was in there with them.
