The Reef

ActionAdventureDramaHorrorThriller94 min

When a yacht is torn open on the Great Barrier Reef, Luke (Damian Walshe-Howling) and four friends are left with a brutal choice: stay on the capsized boat and wait for help, or swim for a distant island. Once they leave the wreck behind, a great white begins tracking them through open water, turning every stretch of sea into a question of distance, stamina, and exposure. Zoe Naylor and Adrienne Pickering are part of the exhausted group as the film keeps close to the practical details of survival: who can keep going, who panics, and what disappears beneath the surface before it comes back into view.
