#Stokerscore: 47 Metres Down

#StokerScore: 2/10


This is going to be a very short review. 

You have a 1 in 63 chance of dying of the flu and a 1 on 218 chance of dying from a fall. You have a 1 in 3,700,000 chance of being bitten by a shark. Obviously these odds are influenced the more you put yourself in harms way, and these sisters go out of their way to find harm...even when harm appears to be trying to get away from them.

The 2 points I have given this boring movie are brought about from my irrational fear of Great White sharks thanks to Steven Spielberg. I have scuba dived with reef sharks but Great Whites are a differtent bag altogether.

This movie could have been a 15 minute segment of an anthology movie but it has been unnecessarily dragged out to 89 minutes where the characters and their actions, motivations and dialogue are z-grade to the point I would rather see a Sharknado movie. 

I get the whole "what-would-you-do-if" thing but this is so silly it hurts. Oh, and the ending is just unfair. The director should have had the balls to make this a Brothers Grimm-style cautionary tale.
