47 Meters Down: Uncaged

The film ups the ante on its predecessor, resulting in a pure, rather beautiful example of genre as ritual.

The last gasp of a shark saga that didn't need to come up for air.

Like most films that are set almost entirely underwater, this is not a particularly appealing film from a visual perspective.

This brainless sequel to 47 Meters Down forsakes much of what made that 2017 survival thriller the lean and mean success it was, a credible shark threat being first and foremost.

The action is unclear and the menace unconvincing. The tin-eared dialogue - of which there is a shocking amount, for a movie set largely underwater - doesn't help either.

Feel free to stay out of the water with this one.

Sure it's no 'Jaws', this low budget flick manages to do a pretty good job at creating tension out of an unknown situation. [Full review in Spanish].

It was kind of fun, it had some spooky stuff, it had a good setting.

This is one of the better ones of these shark movies.

It isn't quite the Syfy-like catastrophe it could have been but there isn't a lot here to take away that you can't get from the far more appealing and satisfying double feature of The Descent and Jaws 2.
