Blood in the Water

That's an insult to both "Saw" and "Jaws". To be honest it's an insult to "Jaws the revenge" and that's a difficult movie to insult.

First scene a guy tries to cut through a metal shackle with prunning shears. So you already know this is going down hill quickly.

Bad acting, terrible script, horrendous direction and if this movie had an editor it was only in name as they clearly didn't actually do any work.

Dismissed.

This is the movie Saw meets the movie Jaws, which I do not understand how that would work. But this movie was made, and I do not know why.

The acting is terrible, and the characters are awful. I did not care about what would happen to them and if they will live or not, especially when they are hard to watch.

You barely see the shark and it does not look that great. The whole movie was hard to wat, as in I could not see anything because the movie had bad camera shots, and a tint to the camera that makes it look they turned up the brightness all the way.

When it comes to them being attacked by the shark it turns off the lights and keeps this red light on making it hard to see what is happening. The flashbacks to the characters are filled with slow motion and are drawn out longer than it should be.

Jaws (1975) is a great movie and Blood in the Water (2022) plays out exactly how the movie Saw (2004) plays out. Blood in the Water (2022) has a bad ending that does not make sense and I could not believe that it chose to end in such an anticlimactic way.

Do not watch this movie at all. Go watch Jaws (1975) or Saw (2004) they are both good separately, but not good together.

Really bad torture/captive Saw type movie cept its in a pool that has a shark that swims around in it. Pretty stupid. Bad dialogue. Really not a lot to offer.

And IMDB has now made it so a review has to have 600 characters before it can be entered. I really don't expect that to last very long because people are sure to complain about it. But until that happens I guess we have to expect reviews to be long winded and sometimes about absolutely nothing to do with the show in question.

I think this might have been yet another Gravitas Ventures movie made for IFC but I could be wrong. Definitely no more than a 2/10.

Saw says hello Jaws, what big teeth you have. All the better to eat you with Saw. So yeah they're trying to capture something with Saw and Jaws like tendencies. Those two movies are orders of magnitude better than this film. I mean Jaws has so much to offer as a movie even without the actual shark attack parts. The build up, the story, the characters, it's all there. Jaws is a really classic movie that should be experienced several times to fully appreciate it. The Saw movies are quite extraordinary in what they did too. Not quite up there with Jaws but as horror movies they were pretty good movies. You find yourself going hell yeah when someone gets it. It makes you feel something, even if it's only blood lust and revenge fantasies. This movie Blood in the Water is just appalling bad. It's an insult to Jaws and Saw to give it the tag line Jaws meets Saw or whatever it is they're claiming. It's dull as dishwater with some really bad acting. People just recite their lines with zero emotional content included. There are sections of swearing which do nothing to add drama or grit. It's like they couldn't think of coherent sentences to write so they filled it up with swearing. I just found the movie really lacking in any merit. There is nothing enjoyable about the film. It's really not worth your time to watch this film.

This is the best shark movie ever made!

Just love it from the start till the end.

My hair is raising all over my body, really goosebumbs-movie!

And remember folks, turn up the volume!!
