47 Meters Down: Uncaged sets itself apart from other shark movies with the tight quarters of its setting and the panic of quickly fading oxygen tanks. It's one of the better low-budget shark films you can find.
47 Meters Down: Uncaged is one of the better low-budget shark films you will find. A group of friends explore the flooded passageways of a Mayan ruin only to discover there are blind bloodthirsty sharks that can track them from the sounds they make. There are some solid shark kills and scares throughout. As you would come to expect in a movie like this, the acting isn't mindblowing, but it is better than your average shark flick. The claustrophobic passages of the ruin add a new dimension to the terror and anxiety of the film as their oxygen supply dwindles rapidly as they frantically look for an escape. This movie adds several layers of danger to the girls' struggle for survival, making the movie feel more fresh than others of the genre. I enjoyed it much more than the original film. This doesn't mean 47 Meters Down: Uncaged is incredible, but it is certainly worth a single viewing.
