Review of Shark Night 3D (2011) by Mitchel S — 13 May 2012
Shark Night's only real sin is that it plays to a PG-13 audience. That's OK for a film like Jaws which has powerful performances and wonderful characters. Not to mention incredible suspense. But if you're going to make a cheap and nasty killer animal film, make it nasty.
Still, there are lots of things to enjoy here for lovers of such a crappy genre. A group of teens suffering from a disease that makes them look like they are in their mid-twenties, go on an island vacation.
No phones, no internet, no contact with the outside world. Bliss. Unluckily for them, but luckily for the audience, there are some sharks to tear these guys apart. Same as ever, but with some particularly bad CGI, it includes some unique scenes that get you excited.
Best of all is a one armed man going to fight a hammerhead with nothing but a spear and his fists. It was also fun to see Joshua Leonard as a real creepy hick. Daft dialogue, annoying characters, but a bit of fun.
Don't take it too seriously.
