The Shallows (2016)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many damn shark movies are there?\u00a0 Seriously?\u00a0 There may be more shark movies than slasher movies, and that is impressive.\u00a0 Much like slashers for every Jaws or Halloween there\u2019s at least 20 Shark Exorcists or Terror at Tenkillers.\u00a0 So much shit, so so much.\u00a0 So when one comes out that actually looks halfway decent you get excited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Shallows is about a girl that takes a trip to Mexico and goes to a secluded beach to surf.\u00a0 Everything is going fine until a dying whale floats up, followed closely by a giant shark.\u00a0 Blake Lively\u2019s character is attacked and injured.\u00a0 Now the rest of the movie is a cerebral marathon between shark and woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blake Lively puts on a great performance because shit, its basically just her and a seagull interacting the whole movie!\u00a0 In that way it is reminiscent of Cast Away with Tom Hanks.\u00a0 While Lively doesn\u2019t put in a Hanksian performance she still does great.\u00a0 She\u2019s always been super likable and gorgeous, but this movie gives her time to shine.\u00a0 There are a few gut wrenching moments of suspense that she shows amazingly.\u00a0 The directing is rather solid as well.\u00a0 I\u2019ve only seen 2 movies of Collet-Serra\u2019s, both I enjoyed.\u00a0 Jungle Cruise was a lot of fun and I suggest anyone that enjoys Indiana Jones to check it out!\u00a0 The shark isn\u2019t seen too much, which is great.\u00a0 I hate when you see a fake looking shark in your face a hundred times.\u00a0 That is the mistake a lot of shark movies make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movie has a fair amount of blood.\u00a0 Nothing too over the top, more realistic I suppose.\u00a0 Blake\u2019s leg is kind of gruesome but is to be expected when attacked by a shark haha.\u00a0 There are few kills, a couple of surfers that try to rescue her and a random guy that tries.\u00a0 It is your typical shark attack stuff, nothing too crazy.\u00a0 The way the shark bites it at the end is pretty awesome and made me go \u201cwhoa!\u201d Which is always fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Shallows might not be top tier in horror, it is an above average shark movie.\u00a0 Jaws set the bar, and it hasn\u2019t ever been touched by anything else.\u00a0 If you love shark movies, then you\u2019ll enjoy this one.\u00a0 I had a good time with it and Blake Lively\u2019s performance was rather impressive.\u00a0 I give this movie a solid B.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
