Julian S It works because of its raw simplicity—the fear of what might happen, intensified by the uncertainty of never truly knowing. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review Michael W This horror movie was alright. Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis did a decent job in this movie. The plot of the movie was tragic and traumatic. It's about being left behind and fighting to survive. If you haven't seen this movie yet, don't waste your time. It's not worth it. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Rick L A super inventive piece of work with NO BUDGET People never consider films on their budgets & how creative they are because of it. This is why I highly rate this film!!!! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Audience Member This thriller drama is okay, the acting is not bad and one scene with nudity is stupid cause it shows no purpose but over all the concept, writing and direction could have make more sense like they got stuck in the water and why the only ones went down there in the first place. Like how they filming like a found footage which is cool because draws in right when movie starts and definitely running time is great and things they do to survive make sense give that especially if u r in that situation. All in all not a bad movie but one watch for me and give a C+ 1/2👍 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/02/24 Full Review James F People who hate on this film are either too young, or only see it only as a “shark” movie because of its marketing, and not knowing the backstory. In reality, It’s truly the tension of anything that could be lurking underneath the ocean that it executes well. And just the sheer fact that two people are stranded in the middle of it!! That’s what makes this movie great. It is really good at building the tension of what it would really be like to be in this situation. And not really knowing. In the real story that is exactly what happened because they were never found. They didn’t need to use sharks because in reality no one really knows what happened to them anyways. But I would say with what we had at the time of this movie’s release it’s done remarkably well. And if I did consider this essentially only a shark movie I would say it’s definitely one of the best ones with all the others we have had over the years. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/05/24 Full Review Megan B Tense, quiet, and understated, this will disappoint those looking for your splashing, thrashing type of shark movie. The plausibility makes for an uneasy watch, especially considering it's based upon a real couple who disappeared in such circumstances. The film doesn't quite find a place to land though. It's not a biopic, not quite a thriller nor a drama, and not really a shark film. I can't say it's bad but I can't say it's great either.
