Not sure anyone asked for or wanted Finding Nemo meets The Babadook but here we are.
Josh LewisJun 21, 2016A shark tries to turn Blake Lively into Blake Deadly. Surprisingly good! Full review at ScreenCrush.

As Jean-Luc Godard famously never said: “All you need for a movie is a girl and a great white shark.” “The Shallows” presupposes is that adding a cute seagull, a rotting whale, and a few GoPro cameras to the mix probably doesn’t hurt. Unequivocally the best shark movie…
davidehrlichJun 26, 2020ahh beautiful. almost no men in sight. just a girl and her shark 🥰

Alright. I liked the seagull. He was the best part of the whole movie. It was yuck but also very cool how she used her earrings to stitch her leg up. The ending and how she killed the shark seemed a little far fetched to me, but I still enjoyed the movie.
Dan lovedThe ShallowsMovie was alright but what really made like the movie was the brother seagull he was the best and was super chill
Trey Barwick lovedThe ShallowsI honestly really enjoyed this movie. It’s a very simple concept that understandably gets crazier and outlandish as the movie progresses. But it’s a movie I would and have watched again.

Lots of blood and she is in constant pain. Graphics and acting are great. Was very intense at some points - not for the light stomachs

If there’s one popcorn movie so far this summer that actually makes us fear for — and care for — its protagonist, this is it.

On its own unpretentious, unapologetically pleasure-seeking terms, “The Shallows” has enough to recommend it — not least the fact that you could watch it twice in roughly the same amount of time it would take to watch “The Revenant,” and with little appreciable loss in adrenaline or poetry.
