It's not awful, at the very least it grew on me. But it should be better.

I don't like the font that the title is done in or the size. Without it that's a pretty cool picture. I never got around to seeing this in theaters but I am most likely going to give it a rent when it comes out.

I don't care for the cover. It's not the worst I've seen, but it could (and should) be better.

Who's cares about the cover art for a horrible movie?

Nothing special, but could have been worse IMO.

It's okay but a bit too cheezy.

I never got around to seeing this one either, and I thought it looked great...but I have to agree that the cover art is absolutely horrible...the theatrical poster was great; why didn't they use that?

The cover art isn't that bad, but the font used for the title is downright horrible. It's too damn big and ugly. Anyway, I saw Open Water in theaters, and I did enjoy it, but I'm not sure it's a film I'd buy or watch again. Time will tell.

Will rent, since I missed it in theaters. The cover isn't bad apart from the ugly title font. It looks like a font type that belongs on a book cover.

I kind of like the font, seems kinda retro-ish to me. The cover is effective, like the poster. Not bad.
