The Reef
Directed by Andrew Traucki
A ferocious shark stalks a group of friends trying to swim to safety after a shipwreck. As the fiend with fins picks off each of the pals, the blue Australian water is turned into blood-red broth. Who will make it to shore in one piece – and who will wind up in ol’ Toothy’s stomach? You’ll have to watch to find out, but suffice it to say that this aquatic Australian horror film breathes new life into the frightful fish genre in an era when SHARKNADO is sadly more well-known than JAWS. The scariest thing about THE REEF? It’s all based on a true story... Contains strong language, violence and gore.

Really suspenseful, and did a great job of realy p ulling you into the terror they felt. I loved the shots of real sharks used. Would definitely recommend for anyone who enjoys survival style horror.
Jaws is the greatest shark movie, but this one wins for sheer terror. Unrelenting tension that is almost too much to take at times. If you want to get an impressionable person to never set foot back in the water ever again, have them watch a double feature of Jaws and The Reef.
“Alright, look, yeah, there might be sharks. ”
It was good, for sure. But Open Water is way better.
Pretty good.
