Sharks seem to be the go-to monster for a lot of horror
films of the last few years and I guess they’ve run out of titles for their
films as evidenced by the generic title for the film Shark Week (2012). The film
surprisingly has a couple of decent actors in Yancy Butler and Patrick Bergin
who are slumming in this piece of shit of a horror film.
Tiburon and his wife (Bergin and Butler, respectfully) have
decided to gather a bunch of people together on their private island in order
to force them into a gauntlet infested with sharks of all types. It seems that they are wanting to punish the
people responsible for the death of their son and since Tiburon likes sharks
why not just have them get eaten one by one in the most entertaining way as
possible.
The CGI is inadequate and the acting isn’t much better but I
suggest this is more due to the sub par script by Liz Adams and H. Perry
Horton. The actors, at certain points,
are not bad but they are saddled with such a cliché story with bad dialogue
that they are simply trying to do the best they can do with what they’ve been
given. Bergin is at his worst in this
film as he seems asleep at the wheel in this film (he gave a better performance
in the abysmal Lawmower Man 2) but
Butler (as always) seems to be the only one having any fun in this mess of a
film.
Directed by Christopher Ray very little imagination is set
forth and even most of the death scenes are off screen or filmed too dark and
even if they weren’t marred by bad CGI this film would be a complete waste of
time even for audiences that enjoy bad CGI shark movies.
