Why it matters
A tense, claustrophobic shark thriller that leans into psychological dread as much as teeth and blood.
- Elevates the shark subgenre with clever, varied attack sequences that keep suspense gnawing beneath the surface.
- Focuses on character dynamics and trauma, offering more than just jump scares in open water.
- Practical effects and underwater cinematography heighten the visceral realism and isolation.
- For fans of survival horror who appreciate when the predator feels like an omnipresent, cunning force—not just a killer fish.
