4.0 out of 5 starsNonsensical fun
Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2019
As a scuba diver who has been fortunate enough to spend many hours with sharks (including in caverns), I can still give this movie 4 stars. Of course it's silly, but hey, we all knew we were going to watch a bunch of screaming teenage girls. Of course some of their decisions (including Dad's) were painfully stupid, but again hey, it's a horror movie! And as that, it's really well done and a lot of fun. If they had made all the right decisions the movie would be 20 minutes long and nobody would have been hurt. What's the point of that?? :-)

2.0 out of 5 stars I am not entirely sure the director knows what water is.
Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2020

So, I do not know where to start with this movie.

1 - It is set in the most California, Mexico you can ever get.... I am not even sure there is a Mexican person in the entire movie.
2 - I don't think the actresses know how to swim.
3 - I am not sure the director knows how water works.
4 - No one seems to know how sharks work.

Put all three of those issues together and it really spoils what could be a good claustrophobic survival movie. Basic plot, four mildly attractive teenagers skip a shark viewing boat trip with classmates to go hang out at a sink hole where two of the girls (who are sisters) dad was setting up equipment for cave exploration. The girls decide to dive the cave and after a cave in blocks their way out they have to flounder and flail and hyperventilate their way out of their before they run out of air.... meanwhile they are being chased by a plot seeking shark that both senses sound/vibration and ignores it when the plot demands it. There is a scene where the girls are supposed to be swimming thru a strong ocean current but the director ramped that scene up to 1000% and you swear they were trying to swim thru a F5 tornado.... it's laughably dumb.

Watch this movie with friends and beer.

2.0 out of 5 stars Predictability kills the suspense
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2019

Pros:
Good tension combination using confined spaces, risk of drowning, plus the immediate threat of sharks. The acting was acceptable. The actual shark models used looked great. Decent use of camera panning and perspective changes to augment the escalating moods throughout the film.
Cons:
Unfortunately, nearly every moment of suspense was far too predictable that it detracted from the horror of each situation. The audio and music crescendos intended to boost suspense and divert expectation, ended up giving each death away, as it's done in the same way as nearly every modern horror film. Situations like:
"Hmm, I haven't heard any music for a few seconds during this monologue. It's as if character X is about to be killed in 3...2...1...aaaand yep, there they go..."

**Minor Spoiler**
Other than clarifying the protagonist's geeky personality at the beginning of the film, the purpose of the bully seemed rather irrelevant to the movie, especially with the last scene she is in. Overall, the protagonist being a geek really didn't add anything to the film as well.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth $5.99
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2019

This movie doesn’t compare to the first one. It is full of jump scares and convenient encounters with sharks when unnecessary. The sharks in this movie have no sight and catch their prey using sound but one of the deaths wasn’t even triggered by a sound. Many times in the movie the girls were either yelling or speaking and they didn’t die in that instant. This movie is a disappointment and waste of my time. I just feel that the first movie was good because it was more realistic. Overall I wouldn’t recommend anyone to see this movie.

2.0 out of 5 stars The type of film where you root for the shark to eat everyone.
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2020

What is it with films that have our unlikely heroine always looking like a super model with no friends who happens to have a perfect hourglass shape. From the very beginning of this film you start to see holes. First off if you bully pushes you into the pool and confronts you near an edge of a pool I think the obvious person would throw that person into the pool with them as revenge and get them soaked in their school clothes as well. Makes no sense to run off and cry about it when she had a chance to get even right on the spot. Her friends wouldn't have been able to pull her back unless they wanted a dunk too. Sorry just had to get that off my chest bugged me.

So 4 friends go off on a diving trip somewhere in a Mexican underground submerged ruins. Someone screws up they get trapped down there and have to fend off a bunch of blind super sensitive great white sharks. First thing you notice is that the girls diving tanks have a lot more air than your standard tank. I think it was 20 minute to a half hour of air per tank no 1.5 hours but I digress just a movie.

The girls are dopey and you can tell right away which ones will get eaten and which ones will survive. There is a very silly scene where one girl tries to climb out and selfishly doesn't listen and falls back into the water to her doom. I felt like cheering for the shark right then and there.

Once they finally get to open water low and behind an underwater boat is chumming doing a great white encounter with the survivors still trapped in the water. What follows is the stupidest ending this side of Hollywood which makes Sharknado look Oscar worthy. When a shark has you in its mouth all those teeth tear and shred it would have severed several arteries in about 2 seconds. Neither of those girls would likely survive. Like in real life the more panic you show in the water the more of a target you make yourself. They follow blood and distress. The lead heroine faces down the bully on the boat of the shark encounter what are the chances giving her a dirty look that she has overcome and survived. Give me a damn break. This movie should be grateful I am giving it 2 stars instead of 1.

Watch it if you must but don't expect any nudity or anything new that hasn't been done before.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pointless sh*t happening in a teeny bopper shark slasher flick...
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2020

Ultimately turned it off at 16:40 because, for the second time, it started playing one of the worst songs I've ever heard. It was a crap attempt at a bad 80's song, I think. It first came on when the group of girls in their late teens were whooping and celebrating and cheering and all they were doing was... driving down the road. It was like they had just discovered automobiles with windows down and air blowing things around (and they thought it was the best thing in all creation). When the song played for the second time, they were just jumping in the water from a platform in the middle of the water that was magically there for them to use and supplied with a bunch of scuba gear... just because. If you're going to make a teeny booper flick with stupid sh*t like this happening, maybe it should not be a rated are shark horror gore film too... Wtf happened to movie making and why is this film getting so many stars?

Just don’t do it. I think I may have killed a few brain cells with this one. The opening credits should have been warning enough (3.5 LONG minutes of them). I don’t think I have watched an opening credit sequence that long on a movie made since before the 90’s. It doesn’t get better from there. This is the type of B movie that appears to be shot over a summer break. The actual sharks appear to be made of clay or stone as if they were a school science project and then superimposed on the screen. 80% of this film is shot under water so the director does a lot of these long swim sequences which are WAY way to long and boring and clearly serve no purpose other then eating screen time. Flash moments of black screen, red tinted water over and over meant to be dramatic are eye roll inducing and over used. The amount of screaming done by these young ladies while under water in scuba gear would almost guarantee they die from lack of oxygen long before the sharks get them. The final five minutes where the last two women standing swim through chum and a group of great whites to get to a boat, defies every law of reason and survival. Was there a reason they couldn’t swim along while hugging the coast and look for a shore or a rock to climb on...? I tried to suspend my disbelief, I really did, but the only thing that gave this movie two stars instead of one was the underwater city. The parts that weren’t too dark and obscured by flashes of light were actually pretty well done. The end result however isn’t worth it unless you really like watching bad movies or want something to put you to sleep, just don’t do it. I’m telling ya! 😬👎🏻😂 If you want an underwater creature feature with far superior underwater footage and some actual story, try The Cave.

2.0 out of 5 stars Watch Stupid People Go Diving
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2020

If you watch this movie you need to shut your brain off completely. The entire premise and script are poorly researched and executed in so many ways. Anyone with a basic understanding of Sharks or basic survival will immediately laugh at these stupid people. The person who wrought this knows nothing about Sharks or oceanic life in general along with diving. Basically, a bunch of people go diving without proper gear and get attacked by a shark. They try to navigate a maze-like structure while avoiding the shark with poor decisions littered throughout. Me and friends laughed throughout by the utter nonsense of these people and the plot.

If the shark didn't kill them the freezing waters, which they decided not to wear thermals or the many infections they should've gotten from getting scratched on the many course surfaces because of lack of protection would've.

The trite story line is bad enough (new girl at school is bullied by beautiful, privileged rich girls), but here, the peer pressure continues in an unlikely underwater escapade. Throwing caution to the wind, the girls traverse secret terrain to find a lagoon and some scuba gear (!). The new girl is pressured into diving to see ancient ruins within a cave. Soon after finding the ruins they not only destroy them, but seal themselves in the cave as well. Then a blind shark which survived over the centuries and developed heightened motion senses (which sharks already have) shows up. A few attack/escape scenes occur ala JAWS, and then out of nowhere, scuba guys doing underwater research show up. (Are you laughing?) The whining and screaming and lame pep talks got to be too much, so I shut it off. What a waste of an hour.

2.0 out of 5 stars They were too cheap to hire a divemaster as a technical advisor!
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2020

If you suspend all belief, and I do mean all belief, this is a typical scary teen horror movie with face masks and regulators.

But the diving parts left much to be desired. The gauges weren't real... no gauge measures air by percentages, it is either bar or psi and they don't flash low air and critical air; diving without fins is extremely difficult and you are really slow and awkward when you try it; unless they were trained or had a technical diving background, using a full face mask is not as easy as putting it on and jumping in the water: and lastly, a really strong underwater current is perhaps 5-6 kts, not the hurricane-like levels shown here. The most I've ever experienced was in the 7-8 kt range in a Pacific atoll when the tide was coming in through a narrow channel.

That being said, if turn off your brain for 90 minutes and just enjoy watching girls scream underwater, go for it!!
