Review of 47 Meters Down

Sharks usually make for fun movies. There have been misses though with lame Jaws sequels and ones like Shark Night 3D. The premise here though sounds pretty interesting. Plus the cast is small, but well put together. The only other film I saw by Johannes Roberts was the decent Storage 24. I haven't seen anything from Ernest Riera. Ah we get a little backstory there. So we get a little depth to one of them. It's funny that this comes out the same year as The Shallows and they are the opposite of each other. Be afraid be very afraid. I mean you are in a horror/thriller. Well there is no way of getting that now. Oh man that's scary! Yeah I will never do that. She is crazy to try that! Man the tension keeps making me gasp. Yikes that was quick! It can never be that simple. Well damn! This is so nerve wrecking. All of those injuries look so painful! Okay that was wicked cool. It kind of reminded me of one of the scenes from Pitch Black. Damn was sick! That ending was really well done. This is one of those PG-13 style horror films that actually works. The tension puts you on the edge of your seat. I kept wondering what would happen next. The sharks were terrifying. The acting was great. The characters were likable. I definitely recommend checking this one out if you're looking for a new good shark/battle for survival movie.
