The most important information about the broadcast of The Shallows
That’s what The Shallows is about
Nancy (Blake Lively) goes to a secluded cove to surf all day. But she is not alone in this beautiful place somewhere on the Mexican coast. Two more surfers doing their rounds – and later also a hungry shark. Nancy barely survives the first attack, she saves herself on a rock. This is the simple scenario in which the thriller turns its circles: A young woman, the sea, a shark – and the saving shore in the far but visible distance.

Simple but incredibly intense survival thrill in The Shallows
The Shallows moved up to a very strong 62nd place in Moviepilot’s Top 100 Best Movies of the Last Decade. How did he deserve this? A person confronts a superior enemy with meager means in a hostile environment. The shark in The Shallows leaves Blake Lively’s character no room for error and demands every ounce of her will to survive. Nancy fights, improvises and tactics against the constantly circling shark, while shreds of flesh from her body are already stuck in the gaps between its teeth.
Also exciting:
Again and again The Shallows jerkily moves forward. On violent stress waves rest periods for Nancy and the spectators follow. The director uses these quiet moments in a targeted manner so that the events can be organized. But the tension remains at an insane level until the finale, without any unrealistic twists and turns. Hardly any thriller has done that in recent years.
