It's no The Reef, that's for sure. The relationships between all of the girls is so odd and although they try to explain it, it doesn't do a very good job of making the tone and interactions feel any more realistic or legitimately understandable. I also don't understand why the shark becomes obsessed with them. This isn't Jaws, and sharks don't naturally do that kinda thing aside from like stalking seals and it's a real reach to try and tell…

Florida man strikes again!

I too would be a vigilante for justice on behalf of all sharks and would also cry about/for them a lot.

That said, this is not a good review but here we are yet again. I won’t be offended if anyone chooses to bail on this rambling commentary more than review at this point tbh.

As the equivalent to a horse girl but with sharks, I love sharksploitation films and…

With overt purposefully absurd comedic homoeroticism, you think the movie is leaning into the fun and ridiculousness of low budget shark films and the Jaws references are decent. It was working for me and I was laughing at/with the movie a decent amount. Then we have homophobic “jokes” mainly being stated by their version of Quint from Jaws. I get what he was trying to do…

A fun parody of bad cgi shark movies & other made-for-tv romcom clichés. Sadly, it doesn’t fully commit to those elements until the last act when it becomes more than apparent that it’s parodying the SyFy shark movie & Hallmark romcom templates—which isn’t surprising seeing as the actor that plays the romantic interest is a semi-frequent Hallmark actor who I always enjoy watching. He never seems to take his roles very seriously but he also doesn’t make the audience feel bad if…

I lowkey felt like I was going in and out of consciousness at times with the insane amount of quick edits in the latter half of the third act. I wasn’t sure if I was missing something—like if she was hallucinating, if the movie was glitching, or if I was just enduring some of the most bizarre edits one could watch. Pretty sure it was the latter.

Like others have said, this is a ripoff of The Shallows without the rad…
