Beneath the Surface

Where to start. This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The story was so weak that I am sure a bunch of 10 year old school kids could have written a better script.

The acting was nausiatingly poor. And I will name and shame them: Georgie Banks, Stephanie Lodge and last but not least Matthew Marcelis. It doesn't matter about the rest of the cast because they were immeterial, but the lead three were just terrible.

All in all the story, the dialogue and the acting was stupid. Like in many of the contributions it wasn't too hard to figure out who did what and where from pretty early into the movie. I am not sure but I am willing to bet the budget of the movie could not have exceeded 10,000 British pounds sterling!

Nothing about this movie has anything to do with skarks. The poster is misleading at best, false advertising for sure. This is not a horror movie either. It is a who done it and why but if you can not solve that in the first 10 mins you must be under 8 :) Do not waste your time or brain cells on this poorly acted piece of drivel.

Don't usually do these, but feel the need to warn people that might make the same mistake I did. I enjoy shark attack films. This is not a shark attack film.

It's boring, poorly acted, poorly written and poorly executed. The plot is predictable and any attempts at twists and surprises can be seen a mile off. The 'big reveal' can be figured out around 15 minutes into the film. I only persevered to prove my suspicions correct. I wish I hadn't. Please don't waste your time. It's genuinely the worst film I've ever seen.

Poor script, horrendous acting, and as boring as watching paint dry or grass grow.

The movie itself has very little pertaining to a shark attack... the title being not much more than click bait. Right from the start you can spot the ridiculous by it showing steam rising at night from the water. Could have been filmed in a hot tub lol.

Characters annoying and completely unlikeable. Why watch a movie with characters you could care less about? Not relatable in any way, shape ,or form.

Did I mention horrendous acting?

Avoid this train wreck because those minutes of your life will be gone forever. You could have spent that time watching paint dry.

Sigh...

The story is a mysterious one. It is told in present day with a flashback to 3 months earlier when an incident occurred. If you've ever been drugged and thrown into shark infested waters you'll definitely relate to this movie. If this scene existed then the bit where Jaws was on the psychiatrists couch telling the tale of the nasty fishermen trying to catch him, it would bring a tear to your eye. Best actor goes to the VW beetle car which was stunning character with big shiny wheels. The movie is watchable. It's nothing to do with a typical sharks in the water eating people other than the two people the shark did actually eat. You can tell from the cover that there was a shark though so that's not spoiling it. I think the shark as a framing device could have been any such event in which two family members were killed in a devious way. I doubt the movie will appeal to many people who looked at the cover like I did and though yay I like shark attack movies like some people like zombie movies. I mean if you've seen one zombie movie you've really seen them all. They're the stupidest genre of movie ever and oh so boring. Some people might not like shark attack movies and this is falsely representing itself as such a movie when it clearly isn't on. For what it is I think it's a pretty good low budget film that lets the story unfold in time. You are lead along a path till the final conclusion.
