A combination of Friday the 13th's (2009) Atmosphere and Jaws' Suspense with a somewhat Syfy channel feeling concept


My main concern with this movie is the lack of character development.Sure they had stories behind a few of the characters (mainly Sarah andDennis's back-story of there relationship) but the film was taken moreseriously than movies such as Piranha and Sharktopus although I lovedPiranha 3D a lot more than this…. Another concern I had was the lack ofdifferent kinds of sharks… they had about 5 kinds when I thought theycould have such sharks as Goblin's plus the way that the sharks killedoff the characters was too quick and that's when I realized that theyshould have had more character development than having them all die sofast! Plot: seven friends have taken a much needed vacation from there busycollege life. There vacation happens to be a house on an island in themiddle of a lake. But when one of the friends are violently attacked bysomething in the water they seek help but soon find out that sharks arein the swamps and that there much needed help turns to the people whounleashed several species of sharks and are trying to make snuff movies(kind of like the "Faces of Death" movie which was mentioned once inthe film.) Now, the friends are being picked off one by one and beingtorn apart piece by piece. Who will survive the night!Review: I was extremely excited to see this movie when I first heardabout it but I also was a bit upset when I found out that it was PG-13but I eventually got over it. The Director (David R. Ellis) whomdirected films such as Homeward Bound II, Snakes on a Plane, and FinalDestination #s 2 and 4 was most predictable to direct this film andwhat I mean is that his last movie "The Final Destination" was a bitcampy and cheesy but overall not as bad as films such as Halloween II(2009) which came out on the same day that year. The Sharks IMO wherevery detailed but they lacked some things in the CGI department such asthe way some of the sharks moved and attacked. First of all Sharks aremore likely to eat a seal or even a near-dead whale that humans andpeople have a better chance of having a coconut fall on there head anddying or being killed by a bee sting to even attacked by a shark. Imean come on…. They even mentioned that in the film. And another thing.Piranha 3D took nearly 2 and a half years to make and Shark Night tookabout 10 to 11 months and it truly did feel a little bit rushed.Gore: A shark gets a hole blown through it with some kind of weapon,people are eaten but all there pretty much is, is red water except forone of the final deaths which a person is shown getting devoured for ameasly 2 seconds. This film was overall gory for PG-13 but if it wasrated R it'd be quite tame.Music: It had a great opening theme and one of the scary themes didseem to sound like the theme from Rogue but overall it was good…. Ijust wished they used Sean Kingston's "Sleep all Day, and Party allNight" song. Oh well.The Sum Up: This movie had a $28 million dollar budget yet I wish theycould have done more with it. Over all I'd give it a 7 out of 10, or a3 ½ out of 5, or even a 70 out of 100!!

Shark Night 3D Lacks Bite


Let me start this review with an honest observation. Creature features,while fun, are rarely scary. A big lumbering shark in the water or asnake in the grass is scary in reality but always falls flat for me onthe big screen. While I do agree with the general consensus that "Jaws"is the rare creature feature that works, I have to say that the resthave done little thrill me. It is with this honest trepidation that Iwent to see "Shark Night 3D". "Shark Night 3D" is the latest creaturefeature to use both creatures in the water and 3D to lumbering effect.Neither is new or revolutionary. Sorry to say it but "Jaws 3D" beat youto the punch about thirty years ago.Anyway, on to "Shark Night 3D" and what a treat this movie is. Set inLouisiana, seven Tulane undergraduates – Sara (Sarah Paxton), Nick(Dustin Milligan), Beth (Katharine McPhee), Malik (Sinqua Walls), Maya(Alyssa Diaz), Blake (Chris Zylka) and Gordon (Joel David Moore) –drive to Sara's family vacation home on a secluded private lake nearLake Pontchartrain. At a local bait shop, Sara encounters her oldboyfriend, Dennis (Chris Carmack) and his friend, Red (Joshua Leonard).Dennis and Red make racial taunts to Malik and Maya, his Latinafiancée, but Sara diffuses the situation. Sara drives a speedboatrecklessly to the vacation home, attracting the attention of SheriffSabin (Donal Logue). He chases her, frightening her friends, but thenhappily shares a beer with them. He tells Sara he is happy to see herback after a three-year- long absence.While Gordon tries to seduce Beth and Sara sunbathes, Nick, Blake,Malik and Maya go waterskiing. A shark pursues Malik and attacks him.Nick, Blake and Maya try to rescue him, but he swims back to shore –missing his right arm. When Nick swims out into the lake to retrievehis arm, he is stalked and pursued by the shark. Nick barely makes itback to shore. A medical student, he stabilizes Malik, then goes withSara and Maya to take him to a hospital. However, blood dripping fromMalik's wound attracts a shark that attacks the boat. Maya is knockedinto the water and eaten. The shark then damages the steering column ofthe boat. It crashes into the gas pump in front of the boathouse,exploding and stranding everyone. Sara, Nick and Malik barely make itto shore. Because their cell phones have no reception and the house hasno landline, they cannot call for help. Blah, blah, blah."Shark Night 3D" is everything that a horror movie shouldn't be. It'sPG-13, it's loaded from beginning to end with grating pop/R&B songs,its 3D looks like crap, and the characters are so cookie cutter boringthat you won't care who lives or who dies. I would say that you wantthem all to be shark bait but once you've seen one awful shark attackin this film, you'll feel like you've seen them all. Add to this aridiculous third act twist that makes little sense (seriously, watchthe movie and tell me how it is even POSSIBLE for the redneckhillbillies to do what they did) and some of the most implausibleevents I've ever seen in a movie and you've got one of the worst moviesof the year. Though, truth be told, it is comforting to know that if someone losesan arm in a giant lake, you can easily find it in dirty water byswimming out from your lake without a mask or goggles. After this,while locating said lost arm, you can also spot a bloodthirsty shark.When you see said shark, you can out swim it even though it canovertake a speeding boat with someone skiing behind. Did that just makeyour brain hurt? Ugh. Join the club. Last year's "Piranha 3D" was dumb,harmless fun. This movie doesn't deserve a theatrical run, hell itdoesn't even deserve to be played on Syfy.

The Vidiot Reviews...


Shark Night 3DMan, I hate shark night at the ballpark. Last time I couldn't see thegame on account of the stupid whale shark someone brought.Fortunately, this is a horror movie about a shark outbreak and not someoutlandish theme-night.In need of a break, university students (Katharine McPhee, Joel DavidMoore Sinqua Walls, Alyssa Diaz, Dustin Milligan, Chris Zylka) invadetheir friend Sara's (Sara Paxton) Louisiana summerhouse.But when a shark attacks their friend, their vacation becomes abloodbath.And when Sara asks her ex-boyfriend (Chris Carmack) to help them, heinstead reveals to her and her friends the man-made origin of thelake's shark infestation.Starting out as a cheap thriller, over time Shark Night's horrendousone-liners and insane plot form the foundation of a cult classic.As for sharks living in public lakes, if they can handle the highcontent of human excrement than more power to them.

A No-Holds-Barred, Balls-Out PG-13er That's Basically Off The Chain!!


Now get this straight: 'Shark Night 3D' is a milestone, it kept me atthge edge of my seat and it was thrilling they had done their researchon sharks and even used the fact that sharks are coming close ontoshore which is unusual. i thought it would be corny because animatedsharks don't look that real but the effects were fantastic and theylooked real the details were spectacular. Just avoid the 3D version andyou'll do fine.I would advise many to see. its not like any other PG-13 movie I'veseen before. I am writing this review after watching it for the 3rdtime. And still I want to see it a few more times. Once I wrote on theSlumdog Millionaire review that Indian Film makers should learn something from Danny Boyle , But now I am glad to have seen such anexcellent PG-13 shark movie. You can say it is at par to Molly McPhee,or Batman The Dark Knight, or even Slumdog Millionaire. Or somethinglike the City of Gods but if that movie had all the R-Rated bits takenout. Each scene is so nicely shot and the perfect direction and actingand editing. And Dialogues are Ummmmm really nice.on the whole ''Shark Night 3D' is a trend-setter. Two Big Thumbs Up!

Munch-Ado-About-Gnaw-Thing!


"Shark Night 3-D" bites! Unfortunately, "Snakes on a Plane" directorDavid R. Ellis plays everything straight in "Shark Night 3-D." Meaning,you had better prepare yourself for clichés galore without a smirk insight. This derivative, PG-13 rated, 91-minute, yarn concerns threestereotypical, mean-spirited rednecks who drool at the chance to feedstuck-up college kids to ravenous sharks of all sizes. Of course, mostof the ocean's deadly predators prefer to prowl the briny blue, butthese three rednecks have an illegal device that enables them toparalyze these predators, attach mini-cams, relocate them to aLouisiana salt-lake, and then wait for them to start chomping.Furthermore, they plan to make big bucks by selling their shark snuffvideos to die-hard "Shark Week" addicts after the real thing. Think of"Shark Night 3-D" as "Jaws" trying to meet "8MM." Everybody sportsserious expressions because everything is serious. Nevertheless,everybody behaves like idiots, too. A one-armed college jock with aspear wades into a shark-infested lake with revenge in his heart.Hammerheads, threshers, cookie cutters and bull sharks assemble to makemunch-meat of him. Sadly, not only are these sharks either digitallyconcocted or animatronic, but they also act like SyFy Channel sharks.SyFy Channel made-for-cable movies usually boast sharks that move soquickly they resemble cartoon sharks. The synthetic "Shark Night 3-D"sharks swim with such speed that our heroes, when the latter haveeither a boat with an outboard motor or water bike at their disposal,cannot leave them in their wake! An academically challenged TulaneUniversity athlete, Malik (Sinqa Walls of "Choose Connor"), makes a B+on a test and no longer worries about flunking out of college. Anecstatic Malik rewards his dutiful tutor, Nick (Dustin Milligan of"Final Destination 3"), along with Nick's nerdy roommate Gordon (JoelDavid Moore of "Avatar") to join his friends for a good time at aremote lakeside estate. Sara (Sara Paxton of "Superhero Movie") haswealthy parents who own a beautiful cottage secluded on an island whichis surrounded by a sprawling salt-water lake. Naturally, nobody with acell phone can raise a signal at Lake Crosby. Furthermore, the nearesthospital lies about two hours away. Little do our recreationally mindedheroes know the ill-fate which awaits them. Meantime, Malik tries toplay Cupid and get Nick and Sara together. As Malik tells Nick, Sarahas not been on a date in three years. Later we learn why. Anyway, Nickand Sara grow chummy and Nick winds up steering Sara's launch. WhileNick is playing admiral, he has show-off Malik at the end of a tetherskiing around the lake on a board. Malik impresses everybody with hisincredible gymnastic feats. He loves to perform flips. Suddenly, Malikfeels something ram his board, and he takes a tumble. A shark attacksMalik and tears off his right arm at the bicep. Our heroes bandageMalik and rush him to the hospital. Malik's blood drips into the lakeand another shark slams into the launch so that Malik's soon-to-bewife, Maya (Alyssa Diaz of TV's "Southland"), topples into the waterand gets gobbled up. Later, Malik traipses into the lake with nothingmore than his rage and a spear. He kills a hammerhead shark and dies.The two rednecks, Sara's ex-boyfriend, scar-faced Dennis (Chris Carmackof "Into the Blue 2: The Reef), and his tattooed sidekick, Red (JoshuaLeonard of "Hatchet"), offer to help Sara and her friends. Beth is sosickened by the tragic turn of events that she wants to ride withDennis and Red back to the mainland. Gordon refuses to let Beth travelalone with them. Neither realizes the mistake that both make when theyset foot on the redneck's boat. Before it is all over with heroic Nickhas to tangle with murderous Dennis and a shark.Basically, "Shark Night 3-D" amounts to a complicated but predictablerevenge thriller with nothing to recommend it. Freshmen scenarists WillHayes and Jesse Studenberg neither do Ellis nor the audience any favorswith their shallow screenplay that borrows extensively from other sharkmovies. Their dialogue is utterly flat without any flair. Thecharacters emerge as one-dimensional nitwits waiting for their momentto be eaten. Ellis does deserve some credit for keeping the actionmoving at a brisk headlong pace. Nevertheless, he fails to generate anysympathy for our clueless heroes. The villains could be cousins of therednecks in "Deliverance." All of the ersatz shark attacks have beenlensed before with greater realism in better movies. The 3-D technologydelivers in only two scenes. The first involves an exploding boathurling shrapnel, while the second shows a shark as its gory innardsare blasted out of it. Considering the $28-million budget, you'd thinkthey could have made more than one shark appear convincing. A bullshark does look supremely menacing in a scene straight out of the JamesBond feature "License to Kill," but the rest look simulated and swimlike torpedoes. Two sharks literally defy gravity by leaping out of thelake to chomp. A first girl caught alone in the lake is straight out ofthe original "Jaws" as well as the attack on a hapless skier isstraight out of the "Jaws 2." If you want to watch a good sharkthriller, and you cannot find "Jaws," then you might try "Deep BlueSea" (1999), or the straight-to-video, outlandish "Shark Attack 3:Megalodon" (2002) and "Shark Swarm" (2008). The PG-13 rating rules outany chance of nudity, and the ability of sharks that can race throughthe water after speedboats eliminates any sense of credibility. Ellisgenerates a modicum of suspense when swimmers struggle to out-swim thesharks, but not enough to scare the daylights out of you."Shark Night 3-D" is munch-ado-about-gnaw-thing!

Solid well-made B-movie that packs the thrills, but lacks the tongue-in-cheek humour and excessive gore and nudity to make it a full-bodied trashy delight


There is a certain simplicity to the pleasures which 'Shark Night'offers, made unabashedly in the spirit of last summer's 'Piranha 3D' byway of Steven Spielberg's classic 'Jaws'. It holds no pretension, itknows exactly what it wishes to accomplish, and it achieves itsobjective beautifully (and we mean this literally).Indeed, director David R. Ellis has assembled a bunch of young, nubilebuff and buxom collegiates for his latest exercise in camp- among them'The Last House on the Left's Sara Paxton, '90210's' Dustin Milliganand former American Idol's Katharine McPhee. They are just three of agroup of seven Tulane University undergrads who head to the Louisianabayou for a weekend of fun at Sara's lake cabin when the predatorsattack. And the honour of first bite goes to football stud Malik (Sinqua Walls)whose right arm is chewed off just 15 minutes into the movie,demonstrating just how quickly Ellis gets to the meat of the business(pun intended). Thereafter, writers Will Hayes and Jesse Studenbergspend the rest of the first half of the movie letting the rest of theirpolitically-correct ethnically diverse cast of characters figure outhow to get him to the nearest hospital- though for narrativeconvenience, the island which they are on also has zero reception, sogetting help isn't just a call away.The falling of night at the halfway mark brings some newfound thrillsas two hillybilly-accented rednecks descend upon the cabin on thepretence of bringing help. Their intentions are however far lessdignified, as it turns out that the nefarious pair is in factresponsible for using the lake for their private snuff film factory-their target audience the fans of 'Shark Week', apparently thelongest-running TV show on cable. There's also an equally dubious localsheriff (played by 'Terriers' star Donal Logue) who's just about theonly other person around the island.So credibility isn't one of the movie's strong suites, but frankly wewouldn't have expected otherwise- B-movies usually thrive on a minimalsetup, preferring to hedge their bets with their audience on easy cheapthrills. Ellis knows this well- his career defined with such genrestuff like 'Snakes on a Plane' and two 'Final Destination' movies- andhis experience shows with the tight pacing he keeps throughout theentire film, so much so that you're not likely to think about the plotloopholes and narrative contrivances.But Ellis also seems hemmed in by the insistence of the producers onmaking this a PG-13 affair- so those expecting another exercise inexcess a la 'Piranha 3D' be warned, there is only tease here. To hiscredit, he tries the darnest to test the limits of the rating, and thisis obvious right from the opening shot that has d.p. Gary Capo trackinga young woman from below the waist as she bounces in the water andsubsequently removes her top. There is no frontal nudity for therecord, and no scenes of any body part getting bitten of, just bikinisand blood in equally small measure (though in this regard, as little ofthe former is definitely more exciting than the latter).Though the lack of explicit gore and nudity does mean that this is lesstongue-in-cheek fun than last year's Dimension gnasher (whichcoincidentally is getting a sequel called 'Piranha 3DD'), Elliscompensates with tenser and more coherent plotting- and the result is asolid, well-made B-movie that offers enough trashy thrills for thoselooking for some adrenaline fix. The 3D only adds marginally to theexcitement, but stay past the end credits for a rap video recap withthe cast that boasts the tongue-in-cheek humour the main feature coulddo with more of. - www.moviexclusive.com

Don't bite this Shark Bait


I tend to not review movies when they are in theaters. I think it'sbetter to do so when said movie is on DVD-I dunno why, I just do. Sowhen I saw "Shark Night" in 2011, I knew it would be bad-so bad itended up in my "worst of the year list", but until now, I've held outon reviewing it. So now that said movie is now available on the homemarket, let's get this show on the road.Sara Palski (the adorable Sara Paxton) and her pals Malik (SinquaWalls), Gordon (Joel David Moore), Beth (former "American Idol"contestant Katherine McPhee), Nick (Dustin Mulligan) Blake (ChrisZykla) and Maya (Alyssa Diaz) go on vacation at a lake house inLouisiana. In the process, then run into redneck goons Dennis (ChrisCarmack) and Red ("Blair Witch Project" actor Joshua Leonard, whosefound a fine second life in the world of indie and art house movies)and seemingly nice sheriff Greg Sabin (Donal Logue.) The big dangerhowever, is that the fresh water lake has sharks-and that the rednecksmight have something to do with them being there.It's weird to see that David R. Ellis directed this. Here is a man whopreviously directed "Snakes on a Plane", "Final Destination 2" and thefourth one. Here's a guy who knows how to take a potentially funconcept and run with it (well, not with "The Final Destination", butbeggars can't be choosers.) Here however, the movie plays the wholeconcept straight, with little in the way of personality, humor orthrills. It's a shark movie without any life-one that's so lame, eventhe folks at The Asylum would raise their noses at it. The whole thingis directed lifelessly, with no potential fun on display. The movieinstead goes with one of the biggest cardinal sins in horror-it playsit safe.Granted, part of that could probably be blamed on the PG-13 rating.It's obvious that the movie is trying to ride the coattails of movieslike "Piranha 3D." When you see a movie called "Shark Night", youimmediately expect coeds being munched on, female nudity and tons ofgore. With a PG-13 rating, it loses much of the impact it could have.Another advantage something like "Piranha" has over this is the factthat it was aware of it's own ridiculousness, and fully embraced it.This is a movie that has potential to be a commentary on realitytelevision with its "Rednecks use sharks to make a bloody web show"sub-plot, but instead it just becomes a morass of bad stereotypes andtiresome torture-horror tropes.Even more offensive is that much of the cast is actually made up ofgood actors. I've seen shows and movies where Leonard, Paxton, Mooreand Logue (who starred in the sadly short lived FX series "Terriers")have delivered good to great performances. Seeing them in this is justdepressing. I know they are better than this, and yes, I'm aware that ajob is a job at the end of the day and that actors have to make cash.But it's sad to see the wasted in crap like this.There is no reason whatsoever to watch "Shark Night", as it has plentyof sharks and no sense of fun. Besides, if you are going to make PG-13movie with sharks, make it about about a superhero shark, and it'scalled "The Shark Knight."

Something Different but Nothing New


I am a hugeeeeee fan of shark movies (Jaws) is my favorite and when isaw this movie was coming out it actually looked pretty decent.Butafter seeing what its all about I realize that its really nothing ihaven't seen before.Shark Night is a typical teenage film with sadisticanimals and people waiting in the wings getting ready to strike.Theonly thing that is truly different about this movie is that the badguys (ironically not the sharks) are the whole reason why the teens arekilled off one by one.I wont spoil anything else but Shark Night as thetitle suggests is basically what you get nothing new and everythingsthe same

Worse than I ever imagined!


I (and thousands of moviegoers and critics with any common sense)ranted about this limp piece of uncreative fluff when they firstannounced it would be a worthless PG-13. I also refused to see it.Well, unfortunately, I did have to see it on DVD last night when somefriends rented it and popped it into their player. And it was evenWORSE than I EVER imagined.It was like the writers and director stole the Slasher Flick 101Handbook (which, BTW, stopped being interesting in the freaking '80s)and followed it word for freaking word: 1. Group of diverse collegekids (made up of the standard cute innocent girl, a slightly-dorky guywe know she will fall for, a horn-dog dork goof ball comedienne, adimwitted jock, a black guy and two sluts), drive into the deep woodsfor the weekend to drink and bang each other.2. They run into the redneck creepy perverted locals and the small townsheriff (who we all know is in league with the redneck creepy pervertedlocals the moment he shows up) on the way.3. They get to the house where the drinking and killing quickly beginwhile doing incredibly stupid things that hasten their demise.4. But instead of having redneck, backwoods slasher psychotic freaks,they used sharks instead....which were put IN the lake by redneck,backwoods slasher psychotic freaks.YAWN.And this was all played out in every predictable way possible(including the revelation of who put the sharks in the water, the sharkjumping out of the water to get the guy on the jet ski, and the idioticlast shot of a shark jumping out of the water in the end). All of us inthe room watching the DVD called out each and every scene before ithappened because we'd all seen it a countless times before in a hundreddifferent movies.But the absolute biggest problem (as every pone knows) with this birddropping of a flick was the rating. While the slasher films this turdripped off are rightly rated R and contain hardcore blood, guts and hotnaked women to help offset their pathetic attempt at a screenplay andacting, this PG-13 rated excuse for a movie has none of that.It's all G-rated screaming, churning water and blood rising up whilethe attacks happen below the water out of sight! Did you read that?Out…of…sight!! People don't pay their hard earned money to NOT seethings on the (bleeping) screen! As for nudity, all we got were teasershots of girls in bikinis the entire time, something we can see inevery lame magazine and TV show these days. Oh, but they did show thebare butt of the freaking jock! Who the hell did the director thinkwould want to see that? Did he think his audience was going to befilled with women and gay guys only? Then again, maybe it was sincethis stinker only made a few million in the theaters -- even with theextra $3 charge for 3D glasses.The SyFy Channel (while still too GUTLESS to show nudity) will at leastshow hardcore blood and guts when people get attacked by the cartoonsharks and creatures in their films. BTW their cartoon sharks andcreatures look even more realistic than the sharks in this supposedlybig-budget film.The hacks who wrote, produced and directed this thing should have atleast made an R or unrated version to release on DVD with the blood,guts and boobs they left out (along with any entertainment value atall) in the theatrical version. But apparently -- based on what theydid release -- they aren't that smart. They definitely have no ideawhat people want to see in a shark film (Hint: think "Piranha" and itsupcoming sequel).Do yourself a huge favor and avoid this mess. And if you just happenedto read my post because you don't mind spoilers, don't worry. There areno spoilers here -- because you've seen it all before. In fact, you'veseen so much more in other films than you will in this one.

"Shark Night 3-D" is going to tank at the box office, I guar-an-tee!


How do I know this? BECAUSE, I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WHOLE MOVIETHEATER WATCHING IT...DURING THE EARLY EVENING SHOW!!!!And, now I know why. This film was obviously intended to be a crossbetween "Deliverance" and "Jaws." Yet, take my word for it; it wasn'teven half as good as either. Heck! Even "Jaws 3-D" with Dennis Quaidwas undeniably better than this piece of mega-crap!! So, do yourself a favor, folks. Don't waste your money going to seethis, or even renting it on DVD, three months from now. Just wait untilSyfy Channel telecasts during next year's Discovery Channel Shark Week.At least, then, you can preserve your sanity by changing channels!

Not too bad IF you enjoy these types of films


I went into this movie thinking I was going to be bored to death. Theonly reason why we saw this was because it was a holiday, hardlyanything was open and we were going stir crazy at home. I've said thisbefore and I will say this again… I love my gore, I love my violenceand I love my crazy horror movies. Once you put a PG rating onsomething I instantly loose my interest.After all that being said it turned out that I really enjoyed thismovie. Of course I should have known this. For one I LOVE shark movies,I love teen screams, I love those goofy Sci-Fi channel horror movieswith the cheese graphics. My Fiancée on the other hand did not likethis movie but he never did like these sort of teeny bop things.This movie is extremely teeny boppy, the lingo, the acting, the drama.The characters are the same hollow but hot bunch of college kids we seein all of these types of movies. So I wouldn't go in expecting anythingdeep from the characters or script. There was a lot of blood but it wasmostly just someone being pulled under the water and buckets of bloodbeing shown floating around them. You never actually see any gore orany attack close up.The sharks for the most part were silly. I thought it was cool but itwas very unrealistic which sort of killed it for me as well. We keptthinking the storyline would explain why these sharks were super ninjasharks. They were ridiculously fast, jumped way too high and thereteeth were almost like metal'ish spikes. Apparently it was only part ofthe movie as they never explain anything as to why they were supersharks.This movie was not bad IF you like this sort of thing. It wasn'tparticularly funny, or deep, the graphics sucked, it was rated PG… butif like me you love the things I listed in the second paragraph, youmay enjoy this.Zombiesteak.com - Discover a new world of horror films, designed justfor you.

Overall an OK movie


An OK movie if you're not into really gory movies but still like to bescared because the killing scenes are just blood in water. So if youlike gory movies then I don't recommend it. The 3D is good. Much betterthen Saw 3D and other 3D movies which were disappointing. In SharkNight 3D a lot of things come flying out at you and there not justsharks. So if you choose to watch this watch it in 3D. In general itsan good movie and everyone is saying its awful and I have to admit theplot was kind of lazy and boring but its not as bad as everyone issaying. I walked into the theater with no hope but I left the theaterhappier the when I came in. I RECOMMEND IT.

A disappointing movie that took itself too serious. If it was more cheesy and fun like Pirana would have been better. I say C


"Somebody do something!" When a group of friends decide to take avacation on the beach they think they will find paradise. Things govery very wrong. When the attacks begin secrets are revealed. I have tosay that this movie is a big disappointment for me. For some reason Ilove all the cheesy sci-fy channel movies like "Megashark vs. GiantOctopus", pretty much movies that are so over the top cheesy and badeffects but are made that way are fun to watch and make fun of. I washoping this would be more like "Pirana". A movie that is more comedythat anything and one you can watch and laugh at how bad it is. Thisone was none of those things. The problem with this one is that ittried to put in a plot and act like a real movie. When someone goes tosee a movie called "Shark Night" you go in looking for shark attackscenes. There were a few memorable scenes but this one was more aboutgetting revenge on someone from a few years before. If you are lookingfor a cheesy fun movie like "Pirana" this is not it. This is moreserious. Overall, a disappointment for me because it wasn't cheesyenough. I give it a C.

They used to use the term 'straight to DVD' to describe bad movies, now it's 'straight to 3D'.


WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS (THOUGH NOTHING CAN SPOIL THIS FILM MORETHAN ITS ARTLESS EXISTENCE IN THE FIRST PLACE)Quite possibly the worst film I have ever watched in my 35 years oflife, Shark Night 3D beats such classics as Demi Moore's 'Striptease'(barring the one scene that made that bearable, of course). The wordderivative does not begin to describe it. The dialogue, plot, acting,effects and general direction is some of the most abysmal I have seento the point that it seems as if various people involved with the filmare competing to do the worst job imaginable. Unlike some reviewers, Idon't even think it starts well. It's preposterous from the outset,dribbles through numerous lines of drivel and ends like a wet fart.I found myself counting how many times something completely unlikely ordiscontinuous happened but lost count. Some of these lowlights includesuch things as sharks flying out of the water, sharks swimming just asfast as jet-skis, some bizarrely contrived plot involving a scornedlove affair from years ago, the idea that people would pay somehillbillies to watch sharks eat people live on camera in a lake and atruly beyond-hilarious scene in which a one-armed man (whose limb hasonly just been bitten off in a previous scene) wades out waist-deepinto a lake to goad a shark with a cattle-prod: a scene that would havebeen met with derisory parody way back in the 30s/40s when Tarzan wasstill wrestling with rubber crocodiles.In my own humble opinion, however, it is the dialogue-writer who winsthe award as it so accurately mirrors the pattern of writing that aslightly autistic 8-year-old boy who has just seen Jaws and some otherhorror b-movies might adopt. Congratulations to that person!You would think that the 3D effects might save it as one of those 'sobad it's good and at least we get some comedy deaths and a bit of eyepopping horror', right? Wrong. Besides random flying sharks, we get amoment in which mini-sharks eat a woman to death and some of them comeat us quickly whilst they do so. This lacks any even mild shock orsurprise value nor anything convincing, realistic-looking or genuinelyhorrific considering how predictable every step of the film is.Seriously, Shark Night 3D may be rated a '15' but I think theintelligence of your average 15-year-old will be very, very insulted. Ionly watched this because, as a fan of horror, I wanted to know how badhorror films could be in this day and age. Now I know. They used to usethe term 'straight to DVD' to describe bad movies, now it's 'straightto 3D'.If anyone rates this film highly, it would be a good idea to go checkout any other good reviews of theirs as a general guideline for what-not-to-watch.

Bites


It is criminal that someone actually was paid for this screenplay: agroup of locals stock a lake with sharks to create their own realityshow and they feed people to the sharks. Each shark has it's own cameraand they have a live feed of the kills. Now -- not only is it a dumbidea, but also unbelievable: how could they get all of the sharks intothe lake? How could they capture a big great white and haul it acrossthe world to put into the lake? How could they even get the big sharkson their little tiny boat? Not only was the screenplay bad, but whenone shark jumped out of the water to swallow a character (who was on ajetski) whole was the end of any credibility.

Yes, of course. Ultra-realistic. Not.


Seven students go to spend a holiday on the luxury holiday home of oneof the girls: it sits on its own island in the Florida everglades. Andthey are having a lovely time when the first shark attack comes.This film is essentially someone stalking the dorm wiping out studentsone by one, except it is sharks not slashers, and the students are allin their bathers. There is a completely preposterous plot developmenthalfway through, then another even more preposterous plot developmentbuilding on the first one, and an utterly idiotic final shot. The castare all unknown and, regrettably, this movie is unlikely to change thatfor any of them. Much of the shark antics are ripped bodily from Jaws.This is the sort of movie which used to be made for the direct-to-videomarket, pumped up by 3D.On the plus side, it is pretty to look at with attractive scenery, thegirls look nice in bikinis, there are six-packs on view for the ladies,the 3D is sometimes effective, and CGI sharks have come on a long way.And there is a shot halfway through featuring a shark and a jetskiwhich made me laugh out loud (it wasn't meant to, I don't think).

Wow!


And this is not a good wow! Horrible interactions between the actors,terrible plot. Very predictable, no surprises. Just the typical teen -stranded on an island - no signal - no transportation - bad locals.Usually, I like being frustrated by silly things, but not every 10thsecond. I'm hurting a little here. It's just so bad. How about, in thenext future, collect a cast of some 60 year old people, now THAT Iwould enjoy (wonder why), but at least it would be a differentexperience, kind of cool actually. Lightbulb anyone? They didn't tryvery hard to make this a movie to remember did they. Poor things, Ifeel bad. And the shark? What? Do they growl? Is that normal sharkbehavior? In that case, I learned something today.

More of the same.


More of the same.I DID NOT SEE THE 3D VERSION. Just getting that out of the way, I don'tknow how 'jaw-dropping' the effects are in 3D, but there weredefinitely some parts that stuff jumped out at you.The movie is like Piranha but less hilarious. My mind state when I seea movie like this is "I know it's going to suck, but hopefully I canenjoy watching them die." And I did, to an extent.My biggest problem with this movie is that they actually tried to makeit more than what it is. You see it coming a mile away, and at leastthey had the decency to not make it a "found footage" film (you'll seewhat I mean if you watch it).I've seen people on the message boards debating whether the PG-13rating is a good or a bad thing, it's a bad thing. SHARK KNIGHT IS ANEXPLOITATION FILM that doesn't exploit. When the only redeeming qualityand advertising point of this movie is people dying, it should be allblood and gore.That being said, I did smile at some deaths. Laughed at how ridiculoussome of the "drama" and dialogue was. I did appreciate the end, afterthe credits there is a music video with the cast that accepts and playswith just how bad the movie really is. As appalled as I was when thevideo came on, I couldn't help but laugh by the end of it.So at least I left smiling.

Derivative "JAWS" meets "DELIVERANCE" rip-off


SHARK NIGHT 3D (2011) *1/2 Sara Paxton, Dustin Milligan, Chris Carmack,Katharine McPhee, Chris Zylka, Alyssa Diaz, Joel David Moore, SinquaWalls, Donal Logue, Joshua Leonard. A group of coeds on a weekendretreat find themselves – literally – as shark bait in an isolated lakecommunity and faced with menacing red-necked locals in this derivative"JAWS" meets "DELIVERANCE" rip-off. Not in the least bit terrifying ormildly amusing in a camp way say last year's PIRANHA 3D attempted withaplomb. The acting is wooden and laughable except for an over-the-tophamateur turn by vet Logue as the bucolic sheriff with a thing for '80shair bands (!) The 3-D is lousy and the hamstrung PG-13 doesn't providethe genre's meat and 'taters : graphic violence & good ol'-fashionedT&A; you can always catch a cheesier twist on SyFy Channel's epicallyawful creature features Sci-Fi Saturdays!(Dir: David R. Ellis)

Hot teens, sick villains oh and don't forget the sharks...


Shark Night 3D has a simple plot and its nothing we haven't seen before- college students on a deserted island with shark infested waters.This movie has a very predictable plot and very little characterdevelopment even on the main characters which doesn't make you feelanything when a character dies. You can guess how the sharks got in thewater way before the movie is even half over, which completely killedsome of the fun.If the plot doesn't make you iffy then you would look at the cast, mostof whose names many of us have never heard of. The only really goodperformance in this movie was from Dustin Milligan, his acting wassolid.The movie was just to un-realistic for my liking. For instance, sharksdon't leap out of the water often nor do they attack every human being.On top of that the movie's shark kill scenes are basically screamingand bloody water, there is little to no gore. The 3D was good whenunderwater but otherwise it did nothing for the movie.The movie isn'teven a horror, there are just moments of suspense before the kill andthat's it.The 3D was used well in some parts but for the majority ofthe movie it was not necessary.So if you're in the mood for half-naked college students, some suspenseand blood and a movie with a predictable plot, Shark Night 3D is themovie for you! Otherwise, you should pass on this one.
