Young sisters Kate and Lisa and travel to Mexico for a vacation filled with sun, fun and adventure. Lisa needs some extra persuasion when Kate suggests that they go diving in shark-infested waters. Safe in their protective cage, the thrill-seeking siblings come face to face with a group of majestic great whites. Their worst fears soon become a reality when the cage breaks away from their boat, sending them plummeting to the ocean floor with a dwindling supply of oxygen.

Critics Consensus

47 Meters Down doesn't take its terrifying premise quite as far as it should, but its toothy antagonists still offer a few thrills for less demanding genre enthusiasts.

Frank Scheck

The Hollywood Reporter

But on its own B-movie terms 47 Meters Down works just fine, not wearing out its welcome thanks to its quick set-up, rapid pacing and brief running time.

Stephen Romei

The Australian

It's not a great film but, once the preliminary scenes on terra firma are over and we descend to a place we don't belong, it delivers an hour or so of sustained physical and psychological terror.

Rated: 3/5

Irish Times

British director Johannes Roberts makes decent use of the murk (the film was largely shot in a tank in London) and the sisterhood theme gives the film a broader appeal than, say, The Shallows.

Rated: 3/5

The Canberra Times (Australia)

The four leads are fine. This feels like a collective of Hollywood kids who got a lucky break on Bring Your Daughter to Work Day.

Dread Central

The film moves at a steady, scary pace with plenty of "uh-oh" moments to keep you on your toes.

Sure enough, chains break, and the result leads to the kind of tense and bloody moments Shark Week fans adore.

I am not sure why this movie has such poor reviews. I enjoy realistic horror/thrillers. Sure, I may not know much about scuba diving, but I feel that the movie did accurately portray the dangers of not doing research, going off with strangers, and hypoxia - which is one of the biggest concerns in diving. I have a huge fear of deep water. Not just the ocean, but water in general. Public bodies of water freak me out because of germs. Many man made bodies have been turned into waste dumps. Deep bodies in which you can’t see the bottom is terrifying to me. This movie really had me on edge. I think they did a great job and it’s one of my favorites.

It was very good at the start but then the movie just went all over the place all the deaths mixed with the hallucination was not put in the best way and the ending was left on weird spot you would think ITV’s a cliffhanger but it’s not, all in the end it was a good movie but I wish that they made the story more clear and Kate dying was not a good part.

47 Meters Down has an intriguing premise, but its execution falls short in terms of direction. The tension wasn’t sufficiently sharp to keep me on the edge of my seat, and while the cast is competent, their performances are somewhat underwhelming. The movie itself also suffers from a touch of corniness. Grading: C-

Definetly not the best shark movie, but not the worst. It holds a weak plot and relies on jump scares for a more "thrilling" experience
