Shark Night [Blu-ray] Reviews

Some modern horror movies are curious commodities indeed. They copy tread worn scenarios, people their films with unlikable protagonists (even if they’re TV-friendly faces), and then expect us like lemmings to follow them anywhere. Truth to tell, David R. Ellis’ Shark Night doesn’t do much of anything new with its slice-and-dice premise even if the film’s one true claim to fame is a “surprising” twist midway through the film which is allegedly there to ratchet up the tension and take the film from being a Jaws-like thriller to a Friday the 13th-style wannabe. Instead of admiring the daring of switching gears midway through the movie, however, the viewer finds that the film gets more lame-brained as it runs, and moments that are meant to be poignant or heroic are instead ludicrous and laughable.
