Creating the CGI Sharks in ’47 Meters Down’ [Exclusive]
Discover the terrifying dangers lurking under the surface when 47 Meters Down (here’s my positive review of the film) swims its way onto Digital HD on September 12 and Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital HD), DVD and On Demand September 26.
Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive feature that’s pretty awesome; in it, Johannes Roberts, Mark Lane, James Harris discuss using CGI sharks and live props, while explaining how they made the sharks look so realistic.
Stuck 47 meters below the ocean surface, Claire Holt (“The Originals”) stars alongside Mandy Moore (“This is Us”) in this must-see underwater thriller. Holt and Moore are joined by star Matthew Modine (The Dark Knight Rises) in this gripping race against time.
“Sisters Lisa (Mandy Moore) and Kate (Claire Holt) become trapped at the bottom of the ocean when a diving expedition to observe sharks goes horribly wrong. When the cable attaching the cage sinks to the bottom of the ocean, the sisters must figure out a way to get back to safety battling injuries, lack of oxygen, and worst of all, bloodthirsty, great white sharks.”
The film was directed by Johannes Roberts, who also helmed the forthcoming Strangers.
“47 Meters Down is full of bite, and is vicious enough for the hardcore horror audience, while also providing an immense amount of thrills for everyone else,” I wrote in my review.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
