Featured review
This was a good stab at a shark thriller.
I was actually pretty impressed with a few of the actors. Mind you I find a lot of Australian films to have really decent acting in them even with unknowns, regardless of the plot.
An original concept for a shark movie, good use of lighting and tension, and a few nice little plot twists.
A great balance of antagonists and protagonists in a "bunch of strangers" stranded setting.
The filming quality and mechanics of the feature are superior to the budget spent, in my opinion.
I found this to be a not bad at all Friday night watch. Great "BAGGAPOPCORNER" if you are in one of those moods where you aren't sure what to watch.
