"Superb cinematography, a great sense of place and an eerie sound score are the mainstay of this horror story set in the mangroves of Northern Australia and whatever the film lacks in budget, more than makes up for it in atmosphere. Maeve Dermody gives an outstanding performance as one of three adventurous holiday makers who find more than they bargain for under the rippling, shadowy waters. It's tense and terrifying as a simple outing becomes a fatal nightmare... No doubt driven by the small budget, the decision to use images of real crocodiles, rather than computer-generated ones is effective and it is credit to the filmmakers that these are used so well. Also as a result of the budget, the choice of the swamp location (in Sydney's south) is as authentic and effective as any in the Northern Territory." - Louise Keller, Urban Cinefile
