There some moments of The Reef that are genuinely chilling, and plenty of tension is seved to go with them. Decent performances from the cast make the whole process believable, and the filmmakers do a good job of making the ocean feel vast and terrifying, whilst weirdly claustrophobic. It does suffer somewhat from repetition - The one dude that aggressively slaps his goggled face under the ocean surface every 2 minutes to check for the shark for instance - it's a neat trick that gets old pretty quickly. Overall though, The Reef has enough going for it to make it a perfectly watchable shark thriller.
