THE SHALLOWS (2016)

JAUME COLLET-SERRA

Plot

A brilliant lo-fi thriller that centres entirely around Blake Lively's brilliant performance as Nancy, a surfer marooned by a shark. Plays well to fears of the natural world but also gives a guttural punch as we watch the survival instinct come to life in the fittest of our species. Tense, convincing and smart.
