The Reef: Stalked – Andrew Traucki on why his shark flick tackles domestic violence

The Reef: Stalked is a 'sequel in name only' to Traucki's 2010 shark-attack horror film. This time, the shark acts as a deadly metaphor as it hunts down a group of capable women.

Written and directed by Andrew Traucki (Black Water) as a follow up to his 2010 film The Reef, The Reef: Stalked stars Teressa Liane (The Vampire Diaries), Ann Truong (Cowboy Bebop), Saskia Archer (Boshack), Kate Lister (Clickbait) and Tim Ross (Wonderland).

In The Reef: Stalked, Nic, in an effort to heal after witnessing her sister’s horrific murder, travels to a tropical resort with her friends for a kayaking and diving adventure. Only hours into their expedition, the women are stalked and then attacked by a great white shark. To survive they will need to band together and Nic will have to overcome her post-traumatic stress, face her fears and slay the monster.
