Sisarukset Lisa ja Kate haluavat Meksikon lomallaan kohdata merten vaarallisimman pedon, valkohain, silmästä silmään. Heidän pahimmat pelkonsa kuitenkin käyvät toteen, kun kesken sukelluksen heidän häkkinsä repeytyy irti aluksesta ja he vajoavat pikavauhtia meren tummiin syvyyksiin. (Mis.Label Fin.)

The point where The Shallows lost a lot of its appeal – the silly ending – is the point where 47 Meters Down wins the
audience over thanks to a nice plot twist. I’ll give this solid genre flick a strong three stars.

How do you make a good shark horror movie when the script is cheaper than a Thai escort and the sharks are the most likeable characters? Johannes Roberts could give a short lecture on this, as his direction is quite inventive for a good two-thirds of the film and keeps the viewer's interest in the fate of the two hysterical hens trapped underwater successfully afloat. Especially in the moments when the girls are forced to leave the comfort of the cage, the atmosphere is really uncomfortable thanks to the intense music and the effects. The unconventional ending, however, was only half-pleasing, and I'm sure that as a humanist I regret the low number of people torn to pieces, even though it multiplies the believability of the sharks' instinctive behaviour. Weak 3*.

Let’s face it, you can tell a lot about the quality of this film from its very first scene, in which a nimble blonde swims with mighty strokes up to the surface, which turns out to be a pool in which the water only reaches her hips. What great work with perspective! The following plot was pretty predictable. If two American women go down in a rusty cage among predatory fish, it’s more than obvious that one of them will not make it. Plus, I found both of them so likable that their stay behind the bars left me cold and their constant screaming only spoiled my nap. The ending did stir the waters a bit, but I found no trace of horror in the film whatsoever.

Although it would almost seem that shark movies are already outdated, it must be admitted that in 2016 there were two quite good films on this very subject. The first film was The Shallows, the second was 47 Meters Down. And both deliver exactly the kind of suspense you expect from a shark movie. I'm almost amazed that 47 Meters Down did its job in such a limited space.

A rather novel shark horror film that impresses by the fact that it doesn't take place on the surface, but deep underwater in complete darkness, where you can't do without a flashlight and oxygen. While director Johannes Roberts doesn't work with open underwater space with the same visual imaginativeness as, say, Alfonso Cuaron did with outers space in Gravity, he still manages to successfully evoke a chilling sense of helplessness and uncertainty in the unfathomable depths, which are immensely vast, full of chasms and predators, and yet you can't see beyond your nose in them. Could there be a better place for horror?
