Plot Summary

While on vacation on Northern Australia, Gracie, her husband Adam, and her younger sister Lee decide to take the Blackwater Barry tour in the swamp for fishing. Their guide Jim uses a small motor boat and takes the tourist along the river to a remote spot. When they stop, they are attacked by a huge crocodile that capsizes their boat and immediately kills Jim. The three survivors climb a tree and when they realize that help will never come to rescue them, they decide to try to find a way out of their sheltered location. But in the muddy water, their boat is flipped and the crocodile stalks the trio under the water. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Edit
Trivia The film used very little CGI. The crocodile was real and practical effects were used. See more »
Goofs When Lee heads for safety, she appears to be traveling upstream. Not only is this hard work, against the current, but it also overlooks the fact that almost all the population of Australia lives on the coast. She would be heading away from help, into the vast interior wilderness. See more »
