The Reef Ratings & Reviews
Richard Gobin
June 14, 2025
Of all the shark-themed movies out there, The Reef stands out as a pretty sharp-edged film, as sharp as a Great White's dorsal fin slicing through the ocean. No cringe SFX here, the shark looks real as I believe actual shark footage was used (great Film Editor).

Joe Lipsett
The adaptation of Ray Boundy's real life 1983 shark attack is slick and well packaged. While it would have helped casting more distinct actresses, The Reef boasts good shark set pieces and solid performances. Plays like a bigger budget Open Water
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...the film's final stretch is unexpectedly engrossing...
FEARnet
Scott Weinberg
Considering what most low-budget shark flicks look like, The Reef is a welcome sight indeed.
Dread Central
Heather Wixson
Traucki manages to keep the tension running throughout the film's 94-minute runtime even before the shark ever shows up to make dinner out of the cast.

Glenn Lovell
... squirm-worthy survival adventure ... Go ahead, take the plunge. 'The Reef' is an authentic nail-biter (toe-nibbler?) that lives up to its fun come-on: 'Pray that you drown first.'
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
Lacking the compelling drama and survival horror kick of its cousin Open Water, The Reef is brisk and reasonably involving, but pretty middling, too.
Cinema Autopsy
Thomas Caldwell
The Australian tourist industry will hate it but The Reef is an extremely effective watery horror/thriller.
