Shark Night 3D

Shark Night 3D (2011) 1/2 (out of 4) A girl takes her six friends back home to her Louisiana Gult house where they plan on a weekend of fun but things change when one of them are attacked by a shark. With the friend bleeding to death, the others must find a way off the island but the sharks have their own ideas. Congratulations must go to director David R. Ellis who managed to make the worst film of 2009 (THE FINAL DESTINATION) and it seems as if he's going to make the worst for 2011. I don't mean to be mean but I hate walking out of a theater angry and for two films in a row this is exactly what Ellis has done. I'm sorry but if you don't know how to make 3D work then you really shouldn't be making a 3D movies. If you can't direct actors to do dramatic scenes then you should probably ask the screenwriter to leave these scenes out of a movie. If you make some sort of thriller and can't bring any suspense then perhaps you should just pass on the project. In reality, I understand it's a job and the paycheck is something that even I would take but the only problem is those poor fools such as myself who are laying down hard earned dollars for this crap. SHARK NIGHT 3D is an incredibly stupid movie that features really bad dialogue, horrible, unscary situations and a story that is so silly that you really want to start throwing things a the screen. I'm going to be nice and not ruin a few "twists" in the film in regards to why the sharks are doing what they're doing and how they got into a lake but those who do walk into the movie should be expecting something so stupid that not even something like MEGA SHARK VS. GIANT OCTOPUS would have to guts to attempt. The PG-13 rating certainly hurts the shark attacks as they're all rather lame as we don't get to see any violence or gore. Yes, you can make a horror movie without the violence and gore but if you do this then you at least need to deliver some suspense and since that never happens you might as well go the cheap route and throw out some blood. The 3D effects are put to use a couple good times when things come flying at the screen but most of the attacks don't benefit from the format. I thought the majority of the actors did as well as you could expect with Sara Paxton, Dustin Milligan and Sinqa Walls sticking out. SHARK NIGHT 3D is a really bad movie and thankfully it gets bad enough at points where you can at least get a few laughs out of it. I'm the type who really enjoy bad movies but these type of films should go directly to something like SyFy Channel or DVD where viewers don't have to pay much. When a film asks you to spend $11 or more then it needs to be of higher quality and this film is just a complete rip-off without anything going for it.

This movie was predictable and not worth $7.50! It never even showed the shark actually killing anyone! It showed blood and limbs, but no real action. Piranha 3D was much better!! In this movie, you could always predict who the bad guy was and exactly what was going to happen next. They never really explained where the sharks came from....left some unanswered questions. Katherine McPhee from American Idol did a pretty good job, though! I didn't see it in 3D, but i honestly don't think it would be any better! I hope they don't make a sequel!! Save your money for the remake of The Thing coming out soon!

Its a format which has been done to death. This particular film starts off bad and gets no better. You may well enjoy this film if you have had a lobotomy at some point. If there is a tragedy in this film, it may well be the destruction of a speedboat, Think Piranha, which was only held up by good acting and a good budget, and the few college kids off for a weekend at a lake, then throw into the mix, bad acting, a very weak plot, a storyline which desperately tried to find something more than a shark attack to make it even slightly entertaining, and you have shark night, possibly the biggest turd to have been excreted by Hollywood in recent years. It is quite literally a couple of hours of your life you will never get back and will regret wasting.

First I want to say that I knew what I was getting into. Right when the opening credits started I could tell what I just started to watch. The acting was boring, the characters were average and disposable, and the effects on the shark and other scenes involving fish of some kind were bad. I'm going to say that the reason why the shark was attacking was totally unnecessary and didn't need to happen, it should have just been a normal shark attack without a reason for the shark to do what it does. There were over the top shark attacks and the shark jumping at the people, but it still has pointless scenes with these unlikable characters. The ending felt rushed and the credits had a bad song playing with shark footage in a red tint. This wasn't good and its only entertaining when the shark attacks them in over the top ways, but that wasn't enough for the film. Just go and watch a better shark movie or a better horror/thriller, this is not worth watching.
