When i can't sleep at night i sometimes look for a underwater or shark movie, the atmosphere watching them in the dark just makes me feel so cozy. Its hard to find decent ones now because not a lot are made due to production.
They are so heavily criticized without taking into aspect the fact that it is all filmed under water, scuba equipment for everyone, Film crew and all. Knowing this i give most of these movies a break.
I experienced a tragedy and had severe insomnia... finding this hidden movie was a god send.
Something about the atmosphere of this movie the claustrophobia is just genius and should of been the main focus with the shark as a minor antagonist.
Everything about it tho surpassed expectations. Due to the low rating i wasn't expecting much, surpassed my every expectation... most movies of this standard flop towards the end, and this ones last 15 minutes were not terrible so again thats another win. And Julian's send off at the end i feel was a reach out to someone special. (The actor passed before the films end and cost the production to halt to a stop)
Someone already said it. "Its not jaws, but it should bei the sequel to it"...my only issue with the movie is the last few deaths seemed rushed, and i would of made the oxygen more of a problem, not saying it wasn't but at one point the sharks take over all the action making the lack of oxygen take a backseat.
The sharks were good, looked good and the dismemberments were excellent practical effects, sharks were cgi but hidden in shadows and not much screen time to keep viewer in belief(tho the cgi isnt bad at times its just not the same as practical effects)
Infact the gore elements( the practical effects) where amazing, i kept wondering how they did certain things underwater without making it look goofy.
I will watch this movie agian one day, years from now with few friends and cold beer on a rainy day. And again in years with my kids late at night cuddled up on the couch.
I must say, not a oscar winner, but definitely one of the better shark movies to come out in the last few years And earning a place on my shelf.
Ignore the low rating, or infact embrace it knowing its a shark movie...and then be pleasantly suprised when you realize it isn't some B movie the rating suggests.
Id give it a higher rating but it had the potential to be so much better. Still GREAT SHARK film for 2024. When cinema seems dead.
