The Reef 2 : Traquées (2022)

Review by smperrett

The Reef 2 : Traquées

5/10

Inferior to 'The Reef' in every way.

The Reef is one of my favourite shark movies. Traucki's first shark movie was harrowing, tense and frightening, succeeding to satisfy at every twist and turn. Unfortunately this sequel fails to live up to it on every level. The acting is a mixed bag, ranging from passable to laughable. The use of real shark footage is commendable but not as seamlessly well integrated as its predecessor. The music is unimaginative and repetitive. The characters are annoying. The shark acts like a monster from a Kaiju movie, rather than a shark. I should have known what to expect from the poster art.

This being said, there are positives to the movie. The first 40 minutes was well done and there were some scenes that showed glimpses of the tension of the first movie.

Worth a watch for the die hard shark-movie fan, but if you didn't enjoy the first one, or any other shark flicks, definitely skip this one.

'The Reef: Stalked' is mostly a misfire, but it's certainly better than other recent shark movies such as 'Great White', which was truly awful.

I will continue to follow Traucki's work, as a fan of his previous movies, hoping we see quality closer to that of the first movie again in the future.
