10 Scariest Shark Movies You've Never Seen
4. 47 Meters Down: Uncaged
While die-hard shark movie fans may be aware there's a second 47 Meters Down, more casual film fans likely have zero idea writer/director Johannes Roberts returned to shark-infested waters with 47 Meters Down: Uncaged.
Unrelated to the first movie, Uncaged has an extremely novel setting, in that the bulk of the action takes place in a sunken Mayan city. As a group of teenage girls decides to take a scuba diving mission to explore these ruins, they realise they're not alone and have some sharks for company. Making matters worse, some of this sunken city's structure collapses, trapping the friends and also ringing the proverbial dinner bell for the ocean's apex predators.
47 Meters Down: Uncaged manages to take the usual eerie, creeping dread of a shark movie and turn the tension and claustrophobia up to 11 in using its unique setting to make you uncomfortably wince at the predicaments these characters find themselves in as they make their way through small tunnels desperately searching for air pockets and an escape route - playing somewhat like The Descent of shark movies.
