  1. 12 Feet Deep - Two idiots decide they absolutely positively MUST go swimming in a pool after it's closed. An incredibly contrived sequence of events happens so they get stuck in a pool. So the movie can happen.

  2. Frozen (not that one) - Three idiots decide they absolutely positively MUST get on a ski-lift after it's closed. To the point of bribing the operator who for some stupid reason doesn't say anything. Do the movie can happen. Also, Wolves are not that aggressive. They are typically shy and avoid humans.

  3. 47 Meters Down- Arguably the most believable scenario on this list. It's still really stupid.

  4. Fall- Two idiots decide to climb an abandoned radio tower without proper equipment that would make escaping their predicament trivially easy. Stop me if you've heard this one before

so the movie can happen.

A MOVIE coming out this month on the 16th I believe is about a man surviving being swallowed by a whale (my bad on the spelling mistake)

Which is phisically impossible btw. Most Whales have throats that are to narrow for a human to fit trough

Act of divine providence does not count as a general example

Next they'll be saying that strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is a basis for a system of government

Which is crazy! You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

They're probably trying to say the whole movie concept is based off Jonah in the Bible. Whether it's realistically possible or not, this is basically what the movie is most likely parodying and why it's being made
