Terrible scripting, unconvincing acting, wonky continuity and feeble atmospherics induce an overpowering feeling of tedium that cancels out any potential for true terror.

Considering what most low-budget shark flicks look like, The Reef is a welcome sight indeed.

The Australian tourist industry will hate it but The Reef is an extremely effective watery horror/thriller.

Once that journey happens it is tremendously effective and, honestly, it's like you want to get out of that cinema.

For most of the time, Traucki manages the horror well, with the menace inferred. Particularly spine-chilling is the scene in which Walshe-Howling is exploring the air pocket in the upturned boat. Sound tells the story.

...the film's final stretch is unexpectedly engrossing...
August 10, 2011
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.

The Reef is that rarest of treats: an "animal attack" thriller that is as dramatic as it is horrific.
July 16, 2011
Lacking the compelling drama and survival horror kick of its cousin Open Water, The Reef is brisk and reasonably involving, but pretty middling, too.
March 17, 2011
The film is good at what it does, goes to plan and concludes in a modest 88 minutes. Yet if that's success, it's also a failing, for it's not particularly memorable or distinctive.

... 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.'
