i’m sorry.. what??? i couldn’t tell if this was supposed to be a parody or not, but i’m pretty sure they actually tried to make it a horror movie. Sharknado looked more realistic than this movie. i had high hopes and thought it was gonna be like The Shallows.. but this was comical. I was laughing through most of it and yelling at my TV. SPOILERS (if you even care??) 1. the little description on Hulu says that a “swarm” of sharks start to attack Jaelyn (Alicia Silverstone) while her husband sits and watches cuz he can’t help due to his injuries. THAT WAS THE SWARM OF SHARKS??? I was expecting some 47 Meters Down type of swarm. Some good action. Not her stabbing the sharks and fighting them off with a fricken slab of wood. Like every time she would jab at the shark, you’d hear a stab sound effect but like ??? okay i could go on and on about how lame that was. 2. I’m sorry. Do they sleep like the dead? The house was still pretty together when they first fell asleep perched on that rock by the resort. But when they woke up, half the house was destroyed and they had drifted off to see.. I feel like you would wake up during that? I don’t know, it just felt like lazy production to have them sleep through all that and not show the audience how it went down. 3. Also, sleeping like the dead. How did her husband lose his legs?? He was still alive when they were just drifting along and he was chest deep in the water (lmao the titanic?!?) but he was alive. did they just not know that he had no legs and was bleeding to death? once again it felt like a plot hole. Now this isn’t an amazing review, I just need to get this out of my system. But this movie was so horribly bad. $8.5million is a lot of money. I went to film school in high school and our budget was nothing and the films weren’t this disappointing. Obviously with a low budget you can’t have incredible CGI sharks or anything.. but it’s 2022.. if you can’t have a realistic shark, don’t have a shark. Alicia Silverstone, I’m sorry girl. I think you’re awesome but this was just BAD. James Tupper, I don’t know much about you, but you seem pretty cool.. I’m sorry you went through this.
