Waste of time
I have never been so uninvested in a cast. Ever.
These women lack any of the skills that you would expect from professional divers. And the cast lacks any of the skills to be called actors.
Honestly I was waiting for the shark to take them all.
There's a hole in your boat? Why aren't you bailing?
Your motor stopped? Why did no one try it after 20 minutes to see if it worked again?
Your sister drowned? Why are you having visions?
You were given a spear? Why does it never make a reappearance?
You have a shark movie. Why not make it actually concerning?
Why is this movie called The Reef? There was no reef!
So much wrong with this film, it would take more than the run time to explain.
If you did, somehow, make it to the end of this film, I'm sorry. That's 90 minutes of your life you wasted.
Save yourself the trouble and go watch 47 Meters Down. An actualreappearing?
Honestly.. Give this abysmal excuse a miss. - vengeance20 - 5 June 2023
A Modern Sequel
So, I've just finished watching this film & to be honest, compared to the original, which I gave mediocre review for, was ace in comparison to this.
The film sees a group of 4 girls out paddling in the sea, until they come across a shark & must fight for survival as they get hunted down by the apex predator.
I found the film to be bland & flat in comparison to the original. I mean, there was some action to be had, but it was too few & far between & simply wasn't enough to save this flick. The lacking in male characters was also another annoying jibe, an obvious choice in today's modern world we live in.
The film itself lacked in action generally & dragged somewhat for a 1 hour & 23 minute film. The opening scene showing a man being abusive to his girlfriend was again a jibe at men being bad & given he was the only male character in the film, it was pretty bad. If they had to be inclusive for gender, they had to portray him as a villain, good job.
Overall, it's no the greatest sequel, in fact it's pretty naff & for a shark film, it lacks. For me, the lacking in good male characters to root for in the film made it difficult. Modern drivel appealing to those from Twitter. I also noticed that this 83 minute film was from the same makers who made Black Water: Abyss. Figures. Watch the 2010 Reef film & forget this Modern sequel exists.
2/10.
