Slightly cheaper and sillier version of the first movie, a good entertaining thriller/horror set at a scientific station in the sea, attacked by the very sharks it's experimenting on.

Men are macho, girls are pretty (but smart) and the action is of the claustrophobic underwater kind. For the most part it's a shark thriller with a lot of action to be honest, but with occasional gore that's pretty badass actually. It got a fair lot of genre tropes, and doesn't take it self completely serious all the time, but it's no Sharknado. Look out for sharkfood scenes near the end! Yikes!

If you can stomach all the racism an interesting plot unfolds. While the black family is tormented by their white neighbours and discriminated by society in general, sometimes to the brink of boredom of the viewer, a creeping madness is afflicting the family and I promise you disturbing dark stuff happens. Luckily this is not one of those dark drama movies or series where they slap a "horror" sticker on it. The makers are well aware and the horror elements keep coming. Just keep in there.

The movie has the mood of a night shift in a small studio, making eerie sound effects for a horror movie we never see.

There's no plot or development, just the frustrating work and tense mood in the studio, with the old machines buzzing, with colleagues that speak a foreign language, interspersed by sound effects repeating, strange vocals over and over as the technician tries various effects.

I like sound design so I watched it, and watching them work the old gear was interesting for a while but it's not really showing that either, it's just about the studio mood, apart from that this movie holds ..well very little of interest.
