And now we’re done with Shark movies:
First off: What is up with Julian McMahon’s voice in this movie?
Second: This is a nice, different take on shark movies. The folks get stuck in a grocery store when a tsunami hits. It floods the town and brings the sharks to land. There is a LOT of extra drama going on with the characters, so we don’t just get random folks thrown together — a lot of them know and have issues with the others.
It’s a holiday week so I’m going to keep this review kind of short. Decent movie, decent effects, everything is set up well. It’s not the worst shark movie I watched — obviously, after last week — and it’s a nice one-off movie. It’s better than some of the four Sharknado movies I reviewed, too, and it’s better than Sand Sharks and the last Jaws movie. So that puts it in the top half of the bracket. It’s an all around decent B-movie.
Which is what it is meant to be — A B-movie. If that’s your thing, this might be your movie.
