I "pre-reviewed" this about a month ago, but with some hope, the director, Tommy Wirkola, was responsible for the quality 'Violent Night' and 'Dead Snow', but with some trepidation, it's made by Netflix. The plot is an absolute rip off of the awesome Alligator flick 'Bait' a few years back, a violent storm rips through a small town where upon an Alligator goes on a killing spree, well this is the same premise but with sharks, and oh dear, the result is grade B movie making. A slow turgid first hour, the CGI for the storm in all fairness is very, very good, but the shark effects at times are pretty embarrassing, the acting poor, characters really quite annoying, especially the pregnant woman who you just hope gets munched to shut her up. The final third things do pick up a little, but by then I'd gone past caring, it does include the un-intentional hilarious line when someone exclaims "we need something that runs on batteries....and vibrates!!!" though!
2/5
