The Shallows

Starring Blake Lively, The Shallows is a survival horror film wherein Lively plays Nancy Adams, a medical student, visiting a secluded beach in Mexico that her recently deceased mother had surfed at one point before she was born. The main story centers around Adams, after no one else is around in the beach, ending up bitten and hunted by a shark as she stays safe by climbing a dead whale, an isolated reef, and then a buoy all throughout two days. The Shallows can be slow in some moments but it still very suspenseful and scary, and Lively delivers an amazing performance through the fears and bravery she shows. Something very surprising about the film is that for a PG-13 film, there is a lot of blood and very detailed shark attack wounds, especially when Nancy stitches together the bite with her jewelry and makes a tourniquet out of her surfing uniform. It does have a few funny moments that involve an injured Seagull that shares the same reef as Nancy. As a side note this is my first film directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and he does a magnificent job, and since I've never seen Jaws or any other shark film, not counting animated films, I looked at this film with original views and found it to be great. Over all: 96%
