Shark Night (2011)

I don’t know which title for this movie to use-Shark Night or Shark Night 3D, because when you buy the movie, it says Shark Night, but the filmmakers were too lazy to change the opening titles from Shark Night 3D, even though I think there isn’t a single 3D DVD available. But, yeah. This entire movie if filled with little things like that, where you just stare at the screen going-“Wait, what? How is that-never mind.” (those were my actual words). I treat Shark Night like Tim (Simon Pegg) from the TV show Spaced thinks of Daisy-“She’s either sweet and stupid, or an evil genius.” This movie is either just stupid and innocent, or an evil trick to show us how shark movies work, because there is no way on earth that anybody can make a movie this incompetent (maybe Jasob Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, but they don’t count as real people) without trying to pull something on us. The plot of the movie concerns a bunch of college kids who are going on an island, when they find that a bunch of sharks have been released into the lake and are eating them, which they find is a part of a plan that is either completely stupid or absolutely genius. To reveal any more would spoil the amazing fun you would have while watching Shark Night, a movie that while I recognize that it is terrible and stupid, is just so much ridiculous fun. I have a great example why this movie is a great movie to watch with buddies to laugh at it. There is a shot close to the end where the main guy Nick (Dustin Milligan) shoots a spear gun through a shark, one that’s trying to eat the main girl Sara (Sara Paxton), and we see shark guts and blood fly everywhere (the most gore in the film, since they wanted a toned-down PG13 rating, which should not have happened). The very next shot, the shark is gone, the guts have disappeared, and the water is as clear as it could be, which is absolutely insane. This entire movie is absolutely insane, and completely terrible. I highly recommend watching it, but with a group of friends, and if your age allows it, a couple of cold ones (with Korey, Leon, and Carlyle! Sorry-nerdy Spill reference, excuse my unknown references for this review). I highly recommend Shark Night, just not as a good movie. I don’t know what rating to give this movie, because I love it and hate it at the same time, so I’ll give it my lowest positive review. Also-my reviews now are getting pictures! Under all reviews there will be a poster for the film. Hopefully by the end of the week I’ll have covered them all. Just my site getting a little bit better. Adios, readers!
