Featured review
Andrew Traucki director of croc flick Black Water (2007) hones his skills in this tense shark flick that makes Open Water look like Open season.
The story is simple, a boat becomes wrecked, and all but one of a group of five friends try to swim their way across the reef to a small island.
It's well filmed with no dodgy special effects in sight. The script is natural and is not forced or cheesy, the hand held camera work is effective and not a shaky mess. This is no low budget schlock. It's taught film making, wonderfully shot with some fantastic edge of the seat primal fear, courtesy of a real Great White Shark.
It's no Jaws, but as a basic survival film it works a treat. Shark lovers like myself will eat this up.
