| The Reef | comment |
The Reef is a 2010 Australian horror film, and the second film from director Andrew Traucki.A group of friends go sailing towards Indonesia, but their boat capsizes in the middle of the ocean when it hits a shallow reef. The group decides that their best option is to swim to Turtle Island, which is located 10 miles away. To get there, they must swim through shark-infested waters, with a great white taking a special interest in them.Not to be confused with the CG- animated film from 2006. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| The Reef / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Unusually for this type of film, and for Andrew Traucki’s films in general, after the last shark attack, the shark simply swims away and is not seen again. No final confrontation, it does not die, it just…leaves. The titles say Kate is rescued from the rock, and boom, credits. | |

Based on a True Story | |
| The Reef / int_a90fff3 | comment |
Based on a True Story: In real life, there were three people, they were attacked by a tiger shark, not a great white, and the survivor was a male. Said survivor reported that one of the others did pull a Heroic Sacrifice after having his leg mostly bitten off so Luke doing the same in the film pulls this into Ripped from the Headlines territory. | |
