10 Scariest Shark Movies!
3. Cage Dive
Cage Dive is a unique beast in how it takes the 'stranded in the ocean' angle and delivers its story through the approach of a found footage movie. By doing that, the viewer is there for every twitch of the water, for every underwater encounter, for every failed hope of a rescue coming, and for the ultimate demise that awaits the picture's central trio.
Trying to convince TV executives that they'd be perfect for an extreme reality TV series, brothers Josh and Jeff and Jeff's girlfriend Megan decide to embark on a shark cage dive during their trip to Australia. When a rogue wave causes their boat to capsize, the situation leaves the trio stuck in the middle of the ocean, with only a tiny life raft and their own paranoias for company.
Sadly, Cage Dive seemed to swim under the radar for most people, with some truly garish cover art not helping matters. If you take a chance on Gerald Rascionato's film, however, there's a genuinely good shark movie there - and it's a shark movie that's a scary proposition for so much of its run time.
As mentioned elsewhere, Cage Dive would end up rebranded as Open Water 3: Cage Dive upon being picked up for distribution by Lionsgate.
