As ridiculous as the film was, it at least remained an interesting watch during my viewing experience and it didn't hurt that we got to watch the lovely Sara Paxton run around in a tight little bikini for over an hour. Sadly, Miss Paxton's rear wasn't enough to forget the plot-holes and irrationalities seen throughout the pic. Unless you're drunk and with a group of friends, I'd skip this one.
Director David R. Ellis has moved from Snakes on a Plane to sharks in a lake, as proven with Shark Night 3D – a movie that was actually considered getting released as "Untitled 3D Shark Thriller." As if the silly title would’ve made any difference to this already absurd movie anyway.
The pic starts off like thousands of other genre efforts before it, as we follow a standard group of young friends on
their way to a secluded cabin at a small-town lake. After naturally mixing it up with the unfriendly locals, they enjoy a little booze, music, and fun in the sun (as much as the PG-13 rating would allow anyway). It’s all good times until one of’em gets their arm chomped off by a shark. The movie immediately kicks into survival mode, but we soon learn that it’s not just the sharks that the group have to worry about, but also the crazed locals too.
