Blind Waters

When I stumbled upon this 2023 shark movie titled "Blind Waters", of course I had to watch it, as I have something for sharks. But needless to say that I wasn't really harboring much of any grand expectations, as the majority of shark movies tends to be dubious and questionable movies.

And then when the movie started, those to dreadful words appeared on the screen: The Asylum. Yep, this was another movie from The Asylum, though it wasn't their archetypical mockbuster type of movie. Regardless, I still opted to watch "Blind Waters", as some movies from The Asylum actually are entertaining.

Writer and director Anthony C. Ferrante put together a fair enough script and storyline for the movie. Sure, one can argue for whether or not it was generic, but then again, isn't it sort of limited just how much you can differentiate a shark-themed movie? With that being said, then I found the storyline to be entertaining.

The acting performances in "Blind Water" were fair. It wasn't a particularly big cast ensemble, nor was it any recognizable actors or actresses on the cast list. But I will say that the cast ensemble actually put on good enough performances to carry the movie.

Visually then "Blind Waters" was somewhat of a mixed bag of nuts. Some of the special effects, whether it was CGI or practical, were quite good, but on the other hand, then some of the effects were rather questionable. But all in all, it was actually not too shabby.

I found that "Blind Waters" proved to be a fair enough shark-themed movie. Sure, it wasn't a particularly outstanding or memorable shark movie, but it was good enough for a single viewing. The movie's cover/poster, however, set up the movie to be a bit more exciting than what writer and director Anthony C. Ferrante actually delivered.

My rating of "Blind Waters" lands on a five out of ten stars.

Okay it was free to watch on Tubi, so I thought I would give it a go.

Yes most shark movies land in this lane where this movie is, I.e. Teeeible acting, terrible effects, terrible story been done to death a hundred times better, cliche riddled.

This was in the so bad it's not even good category.

The boyfriend in the film, well the girlfriend should have dumped him on the spot, talk about accident prone, drops the ring, his boat won't start and gets bitten by the shark.

The girlfriend goes blind halfway through the film and she turns into a shark kicking butt person by the end of the movie.

They couldn't even see that the bad guy was acting strangely for them to be put off by him.

Even though the effects were badly done, obviously the film was cheaply done. If the story and attack scenes with the shark were any good then the movie would have been much better.

Terrible movie, waste of the runtime you could spend doing anything else more interesting including watching paint dry.

The shark wishes it could be as well done as the one in jaws, a movie made.almost 50 years ago and let's mpt ,emtion the story (or lack thereof) or teh acting.

It is not even bad enough it is good, just plain bad and that's coming from someone that usually enjoys cheap sharkl movies. This one is just plain bad and a waste of time. Watch ANYTHING else really.

What can I say more to complete this review? I mean The Shallows is also a ridiculous movie where a shark kills and eats so many people during the runtime that must have been one hungry shark but it is highly watchable, this one isn't, not just because it is ridiculous just because it is terrible in every way.

Yet another gravitus garbage movie made on a shoestring budget with unknown actors with cheesy special effects and dialogue but the acting was not bad or anything but the lead actress was terribly cast. Not likable nothing particularly compelling about her the guy was okay he was fine I just didn't like the female lead but it has a typical crochets of ludicrous situations and you've seen this movie a thousand times with different titles. I don't know why they make these how did they make their money back? Who finances these things? I don't know they continue to make them and they're always lousy..

I think the director and actors don't know anything about ships, sharks, sea and human as well.

The acting is woeful. The performances that feel more like primary school drama class than a feature film. The characters are one-dimensional, delivering lines with a lack of enthusiasm that makes it hard to care about the survivals. You find yourself wishing for the sharks to finish them off just to end the agony of their interactions.

Visually, the film is a disaster. The special effects are laughable, with the CGI sharks resembling something out of an outdated video game. The underwater scenes are poorly lit and lack any sense of realism, making it difficult to feel any tension or fear.
