The Shallows Drinking Game Rules

The Shallows movie poster

The Shallows drinking game turns Blake Lively's shark thriller into a tense movie night. You follow Nancy as she fights pain, tide, and a great white shark while shore stays only 200 yards away. The film moves fast and stacks one close call after another, so the drinks come at a steady pace.

These rules pull from the movie's best beats, including Steven Seagull, the whale carcass, the GoPro, and the buoy finale. You get a mix of small sips and bigger drinks that match Nancy's fight to survive. It works well for horror fans who want clear, movie-specific rules and a short watch with a lot of tension.
