Quotes
Jaimie:
It's coming back!
[we see the fin swimming past the far end]
Jaimie:
Why does it keep doing that, just circling?
Tina:
Cause it's not sure what we are. It's curious.
Kirby:
Curious about what, sharks are only curious about one thing. It's trying to decide if we're food or not!

Crazy Credits
No sharks were harmed in the making of this movie. See more »
Some shark movies are laughable, cheesy, and way too far fetched (Sharktopus). Some shark movies and horror movies in general can just be unbelievably bad. This Australian film was a pleasant surprise. There wasn't scantily clad girls walking around topless (Piranha) or cheap thrills. This had some genuine pillow clenches, it had some unpredictability, great acting, and had a location I had not seen before in a shark movie, Australia. Most importantly it had characters I actually cared about! There is more to this shark flick than just sharp teeth and flesh. Dig your teeth into this film if you are a thriller, horror, shark movie fan.
