Shark Night 3D (2011)

Also Known As: -
Year of first release: 2011
Director: David R. Ellis (Final Destination 2&4, Snakes on a plane)
Actors: Sara Paxton (The Innkeepers), Dustin Milligan, Chris Carmack
Country: USA
Genre: Horror
Conditions of visioning: 27.10.2012, Blu-ray (2D), Home cinema
Synopsis: A group of college students go for a week-end on an island, but their fun will quickly be perturbed by a killer shark.
Review: The movie is completely void of ideas since the opening scene that is a bad copy of the one of Jaws. Actually it looks more like an excuse to see Sara Paxton in bikini the whole time. It's a pity she is under-used as she was quite good in The Innkeepers. The actors are bad and the apparitions of the CGI sharks are not scary. Only a small twist helps the second half of the movie and prevents it to be a total waste.
If you want the thrill you should better watch Jaws again (now out in a beautiful Blu-ray edition), if you want the cheapness see an Italian copy of the 80's like L'ultimo squalo, if you want the fun watch Piranha (2010) and if you want to see the rednecks that turn out to be good guys and help the heroin/ex-girlfriend, watch Rogue with Sam Worthington (Avatar).
Rating: 2 /10
