A very good horror film
In a very similar vein to the Insidious films, same director and some of the cast appear in this as well. It's an interesting story that will draw you in, with a good location. It has a very creepy atmosphere. One of the better Horror films in recent years.

Remote location
A mix of Thriller, Whodunit & Horror
Great cat & mouse Thriller
I really enjoyed this despite the fact it seemed to go straight to DVD. It has a well known cast including LL Cool J, Val Kilmer and Christian Slater. It has good production values as well.
A team of Fbi profilers are at a remote location under going a training selection when they start getting bumped off one by one. It has ideas from And then there were none and even some death traps like the Saw films. Well worth checking out if any of that appeals. Similar to @D-Tox (Eye See You) (2002) as well.

Good Sfx
The Cgi for the Shark was great
A decent Shark thriller
A good film with a battle of wits and survival. The Beach location is beautiful, shot at Lord Howe Island off the coast of Australia, and the Sfx were good in most scenes. I was impressed with the Cgi for the Shark, it looked more realistic than many other Shark films over the past 20 years. It is one big mean Shark, although some of the action scenes are a bit over the top. Overall a good film for a simple premise. On the DVD you get extras on Shark attacks, the location for the Beach scenes, and how they designed the Shark.

one of the better ones.

I think this film might be one of the only Hitchcock films I liked - and that list is VERY short. I liked the mystery and the way you kind of end up rooting for Tony, but you're still satisfied and happy when he gets caught. I think Halliday was a great move and I loved that he and the inspector were the ones to unravel his plot. I loved the detail that was put into this film and the fact that it was only shot at one location - a rarity for Hitchcock.
This is easily one of the most solid Hitchcock films and probably one of the only ones I'd recommend. Watch at your own discretion because I've come to notice that Hitchcock is either-or. You either love him or you hate.

Lacking bite
Well the first film done in 2007 was an OK creature feature about a group stuck in a remote location with a giant Croc for company. Only difference this time is its set under ground in a Cave system with rising water.
Not enough Croc action and just appears to be a normal size one. You might be confused thinking you are watching The Descent at times or other similar films. It plays out pretty much as you expect. Check out @Rogue (2008) instead.
