Among the many subgenres of horror movies is what sets the so-called sooorrry, telling against the individual representatives of humanity against flesh-eating “our little brothers”. Perhaps the most famous sekororo is a cult Thriller Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws” and managed to inspire fear and awe of ruthless predators, even those people who have never swam on the pool. The phenomenal result is the highest-grossing picture at the time popularized the image of sharks as perfect killers. Strips about sea monsters began to appear with alarming regularity, but, unfortunately, among all this diversity, very few really interesting movies.

Chamber Thriller “the Blue abyss”, filmed last year, went straight to video, but the success of a similar subject is “the Shallows,” positively accepted by critics and gathered a solid the cashier, forced Studio bosses to reconsider and to release the picture on the wide screen. The producer’s decision paid off and in the first days of film repeatedly paid five million budget.

In the story, the two sisters spend their holidays in Sunny Mexico. For beautiful shots and thrills, they decide to go under water in a specially equipped cage to live to watch blood-thirsty sharks. Linkage does not stand up, the cage breaks down and the sisters are trapped at a depth of 47 meters.

Picture from the first minutes keeps the tension and makes you empathize with the main characters. An oppressive atmosphere of despair is frightening realistic, and it seems that the victims certainly doomed to a painful death. Unfortunately, despite the dynamic start, the tension gradually subsides, and the original ending at all lubricates the impression of the film.

British Director Johannes Roberts, previously known for the mystical Thriller “beyond the door” managed to outdo himself: he managed to remove a great Thriller, a cut above the previous crafts, but still far from perfect. Perhaps the Director just didn’t have enough talent or experience to keep the drama and to adequately complete this creation, and he chose to leave the ending open, leaving the viewer to determine the end. Also a reproach Roberts should include the weak elaboration of the material; it seems that the Director just had to put the heroine in the right situation. Trouble throughout the film continue to pour in for the unfortunate sisters to such an extent that even the misadventures of the characters of all parts of the “destination” seem like a cakewalk.

But the main disappointment were sharks, or rather the lack thereof. I was waiting for tagoror, but in the end we got a film about survival. Sharks don’t serve just part of the scenery, but even if they were not, to the plot would be no impact. Waiting is totally different from the picture, positioning itself as a shark horror.

“Blue abyss” – quality chamber Thriller with a lot of shortcomings, ranging from the mediocre acting to the vague scenario builds. The plot is dynamic, and will not leave anyone indifferent, at least the scary realism, the feeling of despair and hopelessness similar to peers Thriller “open sea”. But first and foremost, this is not a film about sharks, but about survival, and certainly will appeal to all fans of survival. Although the picture and does not Shine with originality, “the Blue abyss” is definitely worth a look, because before us a worthy example of the genre movie.

6,5/10

P. S. throughout the film, I repeatedly caught myself thinking that watching a low-budget version of “Gravity” Alfonso Cuaron, who changed the setting of the vast space at no less mysterious, and therefore frightening depths of the sea.
