What critics compared Black Water to
This savvy and inventive local filmmaker has indeed built a successful indie career on doing just that, with two killer crocodile flicks ( Black Water , Black Water: Abyss ), a killer shark thriller ( The Reef ), and even his entry (“G Is For Gravity”) in the horror portmanteau The ABCs Of Death .
Written, co-produced and directed by Andrew Traucki ( Black Water: Abyss ; The Jungle ; The ABCs of Death ‘G is for Gravity’ segment; The Reef ; Black Water ).
This is the same tactic Traucki took with 2020’s Black Water: Abyss , a follow-up to his 2007 debut (co-directed with David Nerlich) Black Water .
Director Andrew Traucki (“The Reef,” “Black Water”) steals a page from director Johannes Roberts (“47 Meters Down”) by offering a sequel to a popular shark movie that is nothing like its predecessor.
To complete his track record of making an in-name-only-with-a-colon follow-up to a based-on-a-true-story nightmare ( Black Water and Black Water: Abyss ), writer-director Traucki is back for The Reef: Stalked , a decent but technically uneven time in the water that only does the bare minimum.
