Reviews

Keith & the Movies

Keith Garlington

“The Shallows” wisely stays true to its central concept. Its hook could easily wear thin if it extended itself too far, but the compact 80 minute running time keeps the tension high and the story moving forward.

The Shallows may contain a few occasional shocks, but this is indeed surface level stuff.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the sunlight following what's proving to be a rather desultory summer movie season, along comes The Shallows to drive everyone back into the deep end of the auditorium.

Audiences hungry for shark inspired terror should find enough of interest despite disturbingly inept human characterizations, but something like Spielberg's original Jaws blows this B-movie out of the water.

The Shallows is solid, B-movie entertainment. It's the kind of movie you would have expected to see on a drive-in double bill back in the 1970s with, say, the original Piranha.
