The Shallows
While surfing on a secluded beach, Nancy finds herself in the feeding grounds of a great white shark. Though stranded only 200 yards from shore, survival proves to be the ultimate test of wills, requiring all of her ingenuity, resourcefulness, and fortitude. From TMDB

60 of 116 · most liked firstOne of my all time bits of movie trivia: The shark attack film The Shallows was originally titled In the Deep. Which means the film’s tagline — “What Was Once In the Deep Is Now in The Shallows” — is also a factual statement.
unlabelledView post →Fresh off the success of his Netflix thriller Carry-On, Jaume Collet-Serra (House of Wax, Orphan, The Shallows) has set up his next project, a survival thriller titled PLAY DEAD. It's being described as “Don’t Breathe meets 1917.”

unlabelledView post →How did I not know a Chinese remake of THE SHALLOWS came out this year?
unlabelledView post →I watched Killer Whale, the new horror movie that's basically The Shallows meets Free Willy. Don't make the same mistake I did. Stare at the wall for 90 minutes instead and you'll feel better than you would if you watched this shit.
unlabelledView post →The Shallows (2016) delivers a gripping survival thriller anchored by Blake Lively's career-defining performance, which carries the film almost entirely, alone. Next to Jaws this is my favorite big fish movie. #horror #horrormovies #horrorsky #horrorjunkie #TheLastDriveIn
unlabelledView post →DANGEROUS ANIMALS is the bloody shark movie I wanted to kick off my summer with. Jennifer Lawrence look (and sound)-alike Hassie Harrison gives The Shallows’ Blake Lively a run for her money. Best thing though was the dude behind me who yelled, after a big shark “feeding,” “THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL!”
unlabelledView post →My only first watches from June: Across the Spider-Verse - 'nuff said!! The Shallows - way better than I assumed but the last 5 minutes were movie-ruining terrible Daybreakers - Woof. Never seen dafoe phone it in harder. some really cool scenes tho and sam neil and ethan hawke are having a blast
unlabelledView post →Didn't much care for the film (wasn't expecting to), but Lively is (as always) resplendent, and single-handedly makes it worth watching, because she's a good actress AND oozes old-fashioned star quality. She's a knockout in The Age of Adaline, The Town, The Shallows and A Simple Favor.

unlabelledView post →"The Shallows" was a good movie too
unlabelledView post →Dangerous Animals treads the same water (ha) as Jaws of Death and Shark Night 3D, but with more focus. More thriller involving sharks than a shark movie (which, The Shallows is my suggestion if you want more fins), the film uses its villain’s rituals and idiosyncrasies to keep swimming alone. 🦈

unlabelledView post →#nowwatching courtesy of BBC iPlayer - 'The Shallows' (2016) with Blake Lively. I consider 'Jaws' a horror movie, so I'm counting those one too. I like these confined location-style movies. #horrormovies #theshallows #sharks

unlabelledView post →Watched that Beast of War (the new shark movie, not the old tank movie) and enjoyed it. I liked that they monstered-up the look of the shark but not too much. It's no The Shallows but it's fun.
unlabelledView post →We get ready for the new IKWYDLS by talking about the unfairly maligned second film in the franchise…plus the massively underrated The Shallows!
unlabelledView post →#NowWatching THE SHALLOWS (2016). I actually like this movie. It's an action-y woman vs. shark romp, and that's all it needs to be. #MovieSky #FilmSky
unlabelledView post →FILM RECOMMENDATION: Jaume Collet-Serra’s The Shallows (2016). If liking a movie about Blake Lively fighting a shark is wrong, then I don’t want to be right 😃. Available on @BBCiPlayer for ten more days. #FilmRecs25 ____/\___
unlabelledView post →What’s worse? My desire to do one of those “I watched a little unknown movie and it’s good” gag posts about THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS or the fact that Im watching The Shallows now and want to make a joke about needing a porn parody called The Swallows? I live alone for a reason (I’m terrible)

unlabelledView post →Watched 'The Devil's Mouth' (brand spanking new film - literally out today). As contemporary shark horror films go, this was actually half decent! I mean, it's not 'The Shallows', but acting was 100 times better than expected and shark species was perfect. #Horror #Film #Shark #TheDevilsMouth
unlabelledView post →I'm in the Deep Blue Sea camp. It's glorious schlock. Everyone understood the assignment. Also, it taught me to stop putting milk in my scrambled eggs. Didn't like The Meg, but a recent shark movie i loved was THE SHALLOWS. Tight, tense, thrilling, and it's only 88 minutes. Now who wants eggs?
unlabelledView post →Yeah, The Shallows was better than I expected. I admit to being peasantly surprised that Blake Lively could carry a movie entirely on her own! But I'll still knock it around a bit, haha! #FrightClub
unlabelledView post →The Shallows. Epic shark movie starring Blake Lively.
unlabelledView post →The Shallows (2025) It's not a remake of the 2016 film, but a re-imagining that includes AI, extreme sports and sharks being killed by a laser equipped gatling gun. Currently sitting at a scorching hot 2.5 on IMDb, to which I say MULARKEY! #filmsky #horrorsky #moviesky #horror #scifi #movies
unlabelledView post →Another movie night in the discord beginning with The Shallows (2016) which I have been trying to slot in since October
unlabelledView post →My wife's away for a couple of nights so it's me and the nipper - scary shark movies and takeway pizza tonight, and the footy and a few beers tomorrow. Recommendations on the movie front - I was thinking The Shallows or The Reef?
unlabelledView post →the thing is, even in 1996, $175,000 wouldn’t go very far in los angeles, oh wait, they are probably renting. that’s okay, then. also now i want to do a decades movie marathon with The Lost Boys, The Craft, The Covenant, The Shallows, and probably Scream 7? (i’m not really up on ’26’s horror films)
unlabelledView post →The cg shark in the Shallows movie was so well done. Highly recommend seeing that one.
unlabelledView post →My ★★★ review of The Shallows on @letterboxd: boxd.it/jl3uB
unlabelledView post →Dangerous Animals is right there and has been on Amazon Prime and yet The Shallows is what’s considered the best shark movie of the last decade?
unlabelledView post →#NowWatching Under Paris, my second favorite non-Jaws shark movie (first being The Shallows). The cinematography in this movie is really too good for a shark attack flick but that’s half the reason I love it. There’s supposed to be a sequel being made. #filmsky 📽️
unlabelledView post →#KillerWhale Trailer: It kind of looks like a Delphinidae knock-off of The Shallows. Like I know the 1977 film Orca was a different spin on Jaws, but I kind of wish they did something more original with these majestic but deadly creatures.
unlabelledView post →What the fuck is this movie trailer? Like, it's supposed to be Fall (2022) meets The Shallows but with an arthouse flare?
unlabelledView post →Drop is a pretty okay film. Sure, the aesthetic is overcooked, and half the stuff the main characters do leads to nowhere. But the active protagonist and the tight pace elevates the Netflix-y premise. It reminds me of how The Shallows handles pace and character. But Drop is slightly better.
unlabelledView post →Completing a trifecta of ocean related disaster films today. Started with The Shallows then went to Rogue, and it’s Cast Away. So went from Shark to crocodile to beach ball? I’m told nothing is trying to kill Tom Hanks in this movie so that’s a real disappointment. #moviemarathon #moviesky #disaster

unlabelledView post →also they moved in a natural fashion, whichnis obvs important and also one of the things shitty movies these days dont put effort into. Obviously not every movie has The Shallows money, but come on
unlabelledView post →Fourth horror film of October: The Shallows! Honestly, it mad me so ecstatic to see the seagull in the movie is credited and is actually an actor! Sully Seagull is a gem!! T'was satisfying seeing Blake fighting the shark near the end. Otherwise, eh.

unlabelledView post →We're absolutely spoiled for choice with Shark movies, although quality is especially variable even by B movie standards. My personal pick beyond the most obvious choice would be The Shallows, but I'd happily hear arguments for others!
unlabelledView post →movie: The Shallows (2016) this is not a monster shark movie this is a movie about how no matter who you are normally Being A Tourist makes you stupid for the entire duration of your trip

unlabelledView post →He enjoyed SHARK with Steve Backshall Sky Nature & Discovery he loves when doco's are on. His favourite film is The Shallows but I think Blake Lively might have a little something to do with that lol.
unlabelledView post →OK but once I watched that shark movie The Shallows over someone else's shoulder (she had paid for it with her corporate card; she lent me one of her earphones eventually so I could hear it)

unlabelledView post →18. The Shallows Peril movie 😔 Shark slander of the highest order, but at least they gave proper credit to their seagull actor.
unlabelledView post →#Now Watching 2026s #KillerWhale My admiration for Orca's carries a lot of good will toward this movie. It also benefits that I have not seen 'The Shallows' but even known that exists makes this feel a that much more derrivative. But... it has a Killer Whale that lives up to it's name. #Moviesky

unlabelledView post →Really crisp photo. Saw your avatar and recalled a film I'd seen where a Gull played a starring role. Had to Google it and found he was called Steven, not John! Shame! film was The Shallows. 🤣
