The pacing is tight, always keeping you on edge as they deal with the relentless shark. The practical effects have a raw quality that adds to the horror; you can feel the stakes. The performances? They capture that frantic desperation well. Themes of family and survival resonate throughout, making it more than just a creature feature.
