The Reef

(2010) ****

“Don’t worry, it’d be more likely to get killed by a bee sting then to get killed by a shark.”

Five friends wreck their sailboat while sailing around in the Great Barrier Reef. The boat sinks and they are left to slowly make their way to short swimming with floats. Everyone seems to be doing fine making the best of a bad situation, until an uninvited guest joins the party, a great white shark.

"Feed me Seymore!"

The Reef proves that more then 30 years after Jaws, sharks still scare the shit out of me. How vulnerable we are, so small in such a vast ocean. Nothing but meat to those “big toothy teddy bears”, as Tony likes to call them. I was actually yelling at the tv at one point, “Gouge the eyes! Gouge the eyes dammit!” The scariest things are that which are real. That said, I won’t be scuba diving any time soon.
