Terror no Oceano

It doesn't get much more unrealistic than this movie. There were absolutely no attempts made to make the shark and shark attacks look real, and one of the main characters blatantly flirts with a taken man right in front of his significant other. This is essentially a cheesy slasher film with a shark replacing a human serial killer. At one point, just like in your typical horror movie, two people go off alone for obviously scandalous reasons and somehow their friends don't notice they're missing right away. And of course one of these people were explicitly told not to go in the water, but of course they do.

I love a Shark movie. Even a fairly bad one is worth checking out. Sometimes it's just a matter of low budget. I've seen a lot of terrible Shark movies, but this one is the worst. I even saw Toxic Shark about a Shark tbst shoots Toxic Waste.

But thus has good awful acting and some pretty terrible CGI. It's more so the acting though. All the actors are terrible. Take me right out of the movie. It feels super fake. Very standard "we're irresponsible young adults on vacation". I really hated this. Skipped around to just the Shark parts and it was still awful. Don't watch this. Even if you like sharks, it's a waste of time.

I have seen quite a lot of sharkmovies. Some of which were really bad. This one was beyond bad. Sure when starting to watch this movie I didn't expect much of it, however it was even worse. It is not the acting, or casting, which ain't good, but those neednt to be good in these kind of movies. It is the plot and script writing which are terrible and the direction isn't any better. People hardly feel fear, anger or sadness. Without any ruining spoilers it is safe to say that in these kind of movies people die. However it looked like nobody cared. People getting over a loss in a few days or even hours. Furthermore it seems like the filming location took all the budget, since the shark attacks were not shown. The shark itself is probably a Bruce ordered at Wish or Temu. Why 3 stars instead of 2 or even one? Well a good sharkmovie should either be thrilling and score high (Jaws), either be mediocre but at least has some action in it (the Meg) or superbad that is fun to watch (sharknado). This was none of these.

Expect stupid characters, expect harmful effects, expect laughably stupid moments, and expect them to do dumb stuff. Maneater (2022) is another example of bad shark movies that go to on demand or just straight to digital.

The characters are of course idiots and make dumb decisions, also the acting is standard. The acting is bad, and it has bad lines of dialogue, but the acting is still boring to watch.

The plot of the movie is the same as other bad straight to digital shark movies, having people do an activity on or around the water, a shark attacks, and they must survive. Which is just repetitive to watch.

The shark has bad CGI and clearly looks fake. Especially whenever the shark attacks and you cannot tell what is happening all you see is blood and bubbles for a couple minutes, while also having the movie feel slow for no reason.

I do not recommend watching this, if you want a good shark movie to watch then watch Jaws (1975) or The Shallows (2016) they will give a better movie experience.

Yessirree y'all, the redneck saves the day, gawdammit!

The acting and script in this much-hyped film is absolutely atrocious. Why Jeff Fahey signed up for it beats me, maybe he has money troubles.

We're led to believe that these people are stranded on this island, with no hope of rescue, but every time there's a wider camera shot there's loads of boats around!

The CGI shark is amazing, able to change it size and shape at will.

The island paradise this film is set in is supposedly off Hawaii, but could well be Bognor, as it's as grey, windy and dark as a British summer.

Our hero, Harlan, struggles to speak discernable English, and is to acting as freezing water is to an erection.

Sadly, yet another film in the 'why did they bother' category.
