Trivia
Jaume Collet-Serra teamed up with the art department for the design of the shark, "I came to the conclusion that the shark had to be female", says the director, "Females are slightly bigger and have great scars from mating, visually they're scarier as they are more protective." See more »Goofs
After she said "This is my headstart", she dove into the water and for a second or two, you would see the wound/cover/tourniquet switched to the right leg. See more »Crazy Credits
As himself, Steven "Sully" Seagull. See more »Soundtracks

For the most part, riveting
I have a couple of
issues with this film (occasionally too much CGI, and a weird ending)
but for the majority of its brief, 86-minutes-long run, this is a
riveting film, exquisitely filmed in the Gold Coast of Australia, about a
survivor of a shark attack clinging to life, figuratively and
literally, on the side of a rock 200 feet from shore, with the shark
still circling the waters.
Normally watered down PG13-rating gives way to some surprisingly grisly bursts of gore, as she tries to suture her wounds with makeshift surgical tools, and a couple of brutal attack scenes.
The film makes the most of a small cast, and Blake Lively carries the film almost entirely herself, spending at least two thirds of the film completely isolated. Well, she's not completely alone, she also has Steven "Sully" Seagull, as himself.
