The Reef is a 2010 Australian horror film. The film was written and directed by Andrew Traucki, his second feature film (the first being Black Water), and is about a group of friends who overturn while sailing to Indonesia. The group decides that their greatest bet for survival is to swim to a close by island but find themselves stalked by a enormous white shark.
The film is based on the factual story of Ray Boundy, who was the one and only survivor of related happening in 1983. The film's five-week shoot began on 12 October 2009 in Queensland's Hervey Bay, Fraser Island and Bowen Bay, with extra shark footage finished in South Australia. While in production of the film, cameras were streaming the film online on the film's website on November 5.
The Reef had its world premiere as a market screening at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2010. It was later shown at South Korea's Pusan Film Festival on October 10, 2010 and Spain's Sitges Film Festival. The film's Australian premiere was in late 2010 at both the Brisbane and Canberra film festivals.
