How 47 Meters Down: Uncaged scares
It starts fairly light with teens exploring sunken ruins, then quickly locks into a nonstop chase once the sharks show up, and it barely lets up from there. The scares come from tight underwater spaces, low visibility, and the constant threat of something huge closing in fast, so it leans hard on physical danger rather than slow dread. There are jolts and close calls throughout, but it's more about the panic of being trapped and hunted than anything that messes with your head. Good for people who want a tense, claustrophobic thrill ride rather than something that haunts them afterward.
On The Horror Database's 0–5 scare profile, 47 Meters Down: Uncaged rates psychological 2/5, visceral 5/5, gore 3/5, lingering effect 2/5, and overall intensity 4/5.
