Deep Fear

An unforgettable experience for the worst possible reasons. The plot isn't bad, although predictable, but what destroys any chance of taking the film seriously is its development. The script takes too long to present the real conflict - the fight for survival that is mentioned in the microsynopsis - and when it does, where's the tension? None, absolutely NONE of the danger scenes electrify the viewer. And everything is made even worse by the performance of the lead actress. She needs to cut down on the botox if she wants to have any future in the industry. Utter nonsense. It's not so rubbish as to be amusing, because it takes itself seriously all the time.

The storyline is fine, everybody loves a shark movie - but you need a few characters you care about for it to work. And this movie actually has that, but the main character... wow, that's just cringey, and it ruins the whole movie. She doesn't come across as particularly resourceful and skilled at sailing or diving, and frankly... isn't that kind of the premise of the film? Ghenea is incredibly beautiful, and I have no doubt she's a stunning model, but this movie is more or less gratuitous shots of her features - and it just becomes cringey. If she can act, the director failed her miserably.

I looked her up, and can see that she had a cameo as Sophia Loren in House of Gucci. Now, that's a part I could actually see her rock, because it goes well with her femme fatale appearance.

Watch The Shallows instead for a female lead shark movie that's actually worth watching. Or even Crawl with the sharks being substituted for alligators instead.

I'm normally all about shark movies, even movies that aren't very good just to pass time but this was a HUGE waste of time and wouldn't recommend to anyone. The main actress had so much work done you couldn't tell what emotion she was trying to convey. It was to the point I'd be interested to see what she looked like before the plastic surgery. The acting wasn't good at all and the plot line really had no substance. They do a few dives and the movie is over. Best actor award should go to the sharks, honestly just an awful movie, I gave one star because it wouldn't let me out 0. You'd be better off going and watching "Reef" or "The Shallows", shoot even the classics like Jaws. To put it in perspective I would recommend Jaws 4 over this movie, where the grandma thinks Jaws is following them for revenge😂 (not knocking Jaws I love those movies).

😬😕

Either way its a bad indicator of the state of the writing business. This plot might have very well been scratched onto the back of a napkin with a toothpick. The story was so unimpressive and the acting was cringe I don't get how this got the green light. The lead is a very voluptuous female captain who shows no signs of any sailing experience. She pulls on sail lines without any purpose and grinds like she's hand mixing cookie dough. She's likely gotten all her acting skills on insta. The plastic surgeries and botox rendered her into an expressionless cardboard cutout. So can anyone else act in this movie? No they all stunk and their mish-mosh of unintelligible accents made the dialogue frustratingly painful to follow.

The shark wasn't even the real antagonist its just simply there waiting for dinner. I gave it 2 stars for location and scenery.

The lead actress is horribly miscast in this role. Maybe for telenovellas she is okay but she dragged this movie straight down to the bottom. All the others were passable, if sometimes a bit over the top. Clearly some money was spent on this film, nderwater sets and action sequences, heck even the CGI sharks were decent. Yes the script had some hiccups and poor writing. The actors did the best they could but Gehena....really should not have been the lead in a movie like this. Hopefully the film does okay or has it as a "so bad its good" kind of success. Does make you wonder how much sea life is addicted to cocaine though.
