User Reviews
DeepSeaDread – 7/10
“The isolation and the slow-building tension really got under my skin. Nicole Kidman and Sam Neill are fantastic, and the cat-and-mouse on the boat had me on edge the whole time.”
HorrorHarbor – 6/10
“A solid thriller with a creepy premise, but the pacing drags in the middle. The final act is intense, though. If you like slow-burn psychological horror, you'll probably enjoy it.”
MovieMarauder – 5/10
“I wanted to like this more than I did. The acting is solid, but the villain felt a bit one-note, and the story didn't surprise me. Still, the oceanic setting adds a unique dread that's worth watching for.”
ScreamQueenX – 8/10
“This film knows how to use the sea as a character itself. The sense of helplessness and the psychological games were brilliantly done. One of the more underrated thrillers from the 80s, in my opinion.”
