I wanted to love this film so much, I love Damien Walsh Howling more than words can explain, he is sex on legs. I also love a shark/croc/any animal on the rampage film.
However this movie at a little under 90 minutes felt long and a film this short should feel anything other than long. The action scenes were done OK, a lot of critism has come about due to the special effects but they did the best they could.
The same guy behind this did the great killer croc movie "Black Water" which was awesome, however "The Reef" is good, never awesome. Also based on true events this film has great moments but lacks the psychological distress that "Open Water" from a few years back created. At first in "Open Water" there is hope, then anger, then terror and horror. This film never went through the motions it just all happened and it hoped for the best.
All in all still a good Aussie effort and anything with Damiaen Walsh Howling rates a little higher than maybe it should, 3 stars.
