Review of The Shallows (2016)

By Damien Straker (239) for Impulse Gamer (252) on 21 Aug 2016

Review of The Shallows (2016)

By Juan Carlos Berner (27) for Cinetvymas.cl (54) on 21 Aug 2016

Review of The Shallows (2016)

By Simon Foster (434) for Screen-Space (209) on 18 Aug 2016

Review of The Shallows (2016)

By David Stratton (799) for The Australian (781) on 18 Aug 2016

The realism of the early scenes -- leaving aside Nancy's unaccountable willingness to be stranded alone in a remote place -- is replaced by…

Review of The Shallows (2016)

By Alex Doenau (232) for Trespass (429) on 18 Aug 2016

Compact enough to get its point across without throwing too many random elements at the screen, this is simple but relatively intelligent cinema…

Review of The Shallows (2016)

By Rob Carnevale (227) for Indie London (156) on 17 Aug 2016

What it lacks in emotional depth, The Shallows more than makes up for with bite, as well as a knowing sense of its own absurdity…

Review of The Shallows (2016)

By Russell Baillie (91) for New Zealand Herald (729) on 17 Aug 2016

It's like Collet-Sera has taken the opening scene of Jaws - - the one of the skinny dipping woman becoming shark bait -- and made a whole guilty…

Review of The Shallows (2016)

By Marija Djurovic (345) for Cairo360 (405) on 16 Aug 2016

It's no Jaws by any means, but there's still enough atmosphere in The Shallows the the end result is a surprisingly and effectively constructed…

By Leigh Paatsch (1,103) for Herald Sun (Australia) (1,081) on 16 Aug 2016

A movie featuring nothing but Blake Lively in a battle of wits with one very agitated shark…

Review of The Shallows (2016)

By Nick De Semlyen (166) for Empire (3,446) on 14 Aug 2016

It’s an energetic survival thriller and terrific showcase for Lively’s chops, but iffy plotting and a sloppy climax detract from the terror…

Review of The Shallows (2016)

By Heather Wixson (312) for Daily Dead (246) on 14 Aug 2016

Taut, thrilling, and viciously fun, The Shallows is a great summer thriller that perfectly demonstrates the truth of that old adage: sometimes…

Review of The Shallows (2016)

By David Sexton (322) for London Evening Standard (2,015) on 13 Aug 2016

About half of what is now going on in all cinema is the product of technological advances in film-making and The Shallows makes much more intelligent…

By Allan Hunter (1,486) for Daily Express (UK) (2,141) on 13 Aug 2016

Review of The Shallows (2016)

By Alistair Harkness (1,042) for Scotsman (1,471) on 13 Aug 2016

If The Shallows sounds like the name of a sitcom family composed of character-types from dumb movies, it is at least an accurate description…

Review of The Shallows (2016)

By Alan Jones (357) for Radio Times (2,421) on 13 Aug 2016

Collet-Serra knows his genre stuff and layers this basic girl-in-bikini v monster premise with shrewd tension and submerged suspense, finding…

Review of The Shallows (2016)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 11 Aug 2016
