The Reef
The Reef is like Open Water with less bickering, more urgency and higher-stakes (it also happens to be based on a true story). A ship capsizes at quite a distance but only miles from the nearest land. The five people on board know there are sharks in the water and must decide whether to wait on the vessel drifting further from land or risk possibly being attacked by sharks while swimming for shore. Like Open Water there is really no striking imagery here, but on top of the looming threat of sharks stalking them, there is always a vague hope that land is just out of reach, giving The Reef so much more to work with.
