2019 ·1h 30m · ★ 5.7 (1,505)

Four teenage girls go on a diving adventure to explore a submerged Mayan city. Once inside, their rush of excitement turns into a jolt of terror as they discover the sunken ruins are a hunting ground for deadly great white sharks. With their air supply steadily dwindling, the friends must navigate the underwater labyrinth of claustrophobic caves and eerie tunnels in search of a way out of their watery hell.

Why it matters

Claustrophobic underwater survival thriller that taps into primal fears of being trapped beneath the waves—and hunted by great whites.

  • Delivers tense, enclosed-space scares in submerged Mayan ruins, evoking shades of The Descent underwater
  • Shark effects swing between impressively realistic and uneven CG, testing your suspension of disbelief
  • Character choices and dialogue falter, but the ticking clock of dwindling air keeps the pressure on
  • Best for viewers who want a lean, popcorn-friendly dive into shark horror without demanding originality or nuance
