Description

On the beautiful but dangerous waters of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, ship delivery man Luke and four friends chart a yacht to its new owner. Along the way, their ship is torn open by sharp rocks and begins to sink, leaving the passengers with a terrifying choice: stay on board with slim hope of rescue, or swim twelve miles to the nearest island… through shark-infested waters. When they enter the water, an unstoppable, relentless Great White immediately follows their trail for a white-knuckle chase that will fill the waters with blood! From the director of the acclaimed monster hit Black Water comes a pulse-pounding, visually stunning thriller that never lets go until the final, heart-stopping scream!

  • A scary shark film, starts slow but becomes terrifying...

    The Reef is probably the scariest shark film after Jaws. Loosely based on a real event (don't look it up until after you've watched the film!), in Australia a group of friends out boating bottoms out on some Reef in great white shark infested waters. That's all you need to know. If you are a shark movie fan this should be a purchase!
  • More Scary Than Jaws

    To me the first Jaws set the bar for shark attack movies. And while this movie is much lower budget and has a smaller scope and story, it is actually more scary than Jaws 1. I NEVER thought I would say that. The tension is incredible. I found myself pulling my legs up on the couch so no shark could surprise me from below. Definite BUY!!!!
  • Bad acting and lame characters

    So, this is 'based' on a true story, but what a waste of money. It was like Open Water, which I liked, but with bad acting and stupid characters. (Spoiler alert) - everyone knows when a shark swims by, you should not thrash around in the water and scream at the top of your lungs. It's just another case of fiction where the shark has some sort of vendetta and seeks vengence. If you can look past this, save your money and re-watch Jaws or Open Water.
  • Awesome movie!!! 💙

    I love that movie. Just not when the shark comes. On a scale of 1 to wet-the-bed scary, I'd give it a 9 and 1/4. It's good, just too scary. If you were, like, 5 or 6 and you watched this movie, you'd be afraid to go in the ocean. Anyway, that movie still rocks! AND HEY! They did too show the shark!

    This movie is such a awesome movie. When I got it for Christmas, I thought that it would be a JAWS kind of movie but it is full of suspense. At first I was kind of scared to watch it but it was so much better than the Syfy channel movies. I really like the opening music. Hats off to The Reef(:
  • loved it
