Beneath the Surface

The movie starts with three people who have fallen off a boat. Its night, and they are in the water, sharks cirkling around them. Then, some screams. It lasts under five minutes, and you see no shark attacking.

Three months later, we are home (a large mansion in England) with Lexy, who lost her father and sister at the sea. We never find out if their bodies were recovered.

Lexy suffers from survivours guilt, and have little recollection of the event. She knows they partied on the boat, drank alcohol and were dancing.

Her boyfriend, Isaac, and her stepmother, Vicky also live in the house, and they were also on the boat that night.

She has a good friend, Amy, who are supportive, and also wants Lexy to get some help. Which is needed, because Lexy is whining a bit too much.

There are no more sharks to be seen, and just a few scenes from the boat. This is a drama/mystery movie, where we want to find out what happened that night.

There are some gaping plotholes, as to why the solution wasn't discovered at once, or why Lexy takes so long time to realise what's happening, but there you are.

The solution is exactly what you think, including the people involved and the motive.

The killer's plot on how to do away with Lexy in the end, is laughable, and utterly impossible to work, without no one finding out.

Acting is ok. Lexy is the worst, but that is because it takes some real acting skills to carry a movie. And she does not have what it takes.

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!

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.

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.
