Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSteven Seagull's name in real life is Sully. He lives (to this day) in a seagull sanctuary in Australia. Two extra seagulls were used to portray Steven Seagull. According to producer Matti Leshem, she added "They were all good but not nearly as good as him. Peggy was the vocal one, the very squawky bird. Gaviota (which means seagull in Spanish), I think he's almost 30 [as Steven is estimated to be about 15 or 20 years old]. The most challenging thing about Sully as an actor is that seagulls are remarkably clean. They self clean a lot, so the blood on Sully, obviously fake blood, he kept wanting to clean it off, so we had to deal with that."
- GoofsAs all experienced surfers (as Nancy clearly is) would know, a whale carcass is almost guaranteed to attract sharks. Coming across one, a surfer would have hightailed it back to shore as fast as possible to avoid becoming part of a buffet. They would not move in for a closer look and hang about ogling it.

Featured review
A young American woman goes surfing alone at a secluded beach in Mexico but finds herself stranded on a rock with a hungry great white shark circling. And a seagull called Steve for company!
This makes a great change from the glut of ridiculous shark movies "inspired" by the likes of 'Sharknado". No roaring shark (I didn't hear any anyway) and no CGI that looks like they were done by a 5 year old. Sure, there are goofs and gaffs, and I felt that the final showdown was pretty silly. However it is nicely filmed, has decent effects, plenty of tension and Blake Lively does a good job as the heroine. She also looks mighty fine in a bikini!
