''The Reef'' is a 2010 Australian horror film, and the second film from director Andrew Traucki.
A group of friends go sailing towards Indonesia, but their boat capsizes in the middle of the ocean when it hits a shallow reef. The group decides that their best option is to swim to Turtle Island, which is located 10 miles away. To get there, they must swim through shark-infested waters, with a great white taking a special interest in them.
Not to be confused with the CG-animated film from 2006.

!!This film includes the following tropes:
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: Kate survives, but everyone else is dead]].
* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: [[spoiler: Matt]] urges the group to leave after [[spoiler: the shark bites off his leg. It's a moot point because he dies of blood loss shortly after]].
* ThreateningShark: A large Great White stalks the group throughout the film.
* TooDumbToLive: Moments after being attack by a shark, [[spoiler: Matt swims away from the group to retrieve Kate's bodyboard]]. Guess who's the first to die.
