Adrift is a 2006 German psychological horror thriller inspired by Koji Suzuki’s short story Adrift, although the film was marketed as based on true events.

The story follows a group of friends who set out on a weekend cruise aboard a new yacht. Their vacation quickly turns into a nightmare when they become stranded in open water, forcing them to face survival challenges and the psychological toll of their predicament.

Written before Open Water was released in 2003, and keeping its original title in most of Europe, as well as Australia. To capitalise on Open Water‘s success, it was renamed Open Water 2: Adrift or simply Open Water 2 in the United States and Germany. This renaming was done despite the only shared theme being people stranded in the middle of the ocean.
