A yachtswoman whose trip to Grenada goes awry when a storm leads her to rescue drug traffickers from a sinking boat. Forced to retrieve cocaine from a wreck, she faces a deadly battle against man-eating sharks and must use her wits to survive.
Director Marcus Adams delivers a clunky modern shark thriller in the vein of The Deep (1977). Deep Fear writers Robert Capelli Jr. And Sophia Eptamenitis attempt to justify the characters’ presence in shark-infested waters, incorporating flashbacks and added character weight. However, these elements feel unnecessary for what is essentially a shark thriller with a drug-smuggling twist. Macarena Gomez commands attention, Ed Westwick is notable, and Madalina Ghenea (Naomi) leaves an impression as indelible as her makeup. It’s clearly a career vehicle. The cast overall does a solid job.
Once again, Malta stands in for the Caribbean in another shark film. Like Mako and Deep Fear, the underwater dive sequences are well-executed, and while the effects aren’t groundbreaking, they surpass those of most low-budget shark movies.
Overall, like The Black Demon, it attempts something different while borrowing from 1970s shark adventure films
