47 METERS DOWN: UNCAGED (Theatrical Release USA 2019)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì

47 Meters Down: Uncaged—very effective shark attack scenes—may not be Jaws, but still delivers 'horror and gross' with its use of slow motion camera work that capitalizes itself with rapid repeat as one swimmer after another goes down. WOW! photography…some of the best. Be aware that the screaming, even though there is good reason for it, becomes monotonous so that an audience may wish there was more storyline rather than redundant shark appearance. Many of the scenes could have shortened to introduce a few secondary stories to create more depth to the movie. The film, despite it reliance on horror and mayhem in ocean water, does have a terrific conclusion.
