Shark Island

Another waste of a potentially good movie because the script and screenwriting are just poor. In short, do not expect much from this movie and you won't be disappointed.

The acting was OK, but you can probably see the same quality, or more likely better, at your local play house, and be better entertained. Not that the actors had much to work with after viewing the direction and cinematography .. they were just as bad as the script.

I actually upped this to 2 stars because at least they didn't use an iPhone and the iPhone mic to make the majority of the movie (there are a few scenes that an iPhone may have made it better).

Firstly, No bikini's. The girls are pretty but at most they wear one piece suits. The story line wasn't bad although the acting was pretty bad. The accents on some of them proved to be an annoyance. There is a jewel theft story line and the mystery is pretty mysterious. Shark involvement was minimal. Michael Pare is in it briefly so you know it's a C type movie. A bit of gore but nothing major. It was okay to watch. I ended up distracted half way thru. It won't be the worst movie you'll see but among the 50 worst. I watched on TUBI after watching another shark movie and it rolled into this one. I was too lazy to switch it off.

Photo shoot on a remote island surrounded by sharks with a serial killer on it with them. How is that not fun?

Positives: It does a have a plot.

Negatives: The acting is bad but that's not unexpected. The movie looks cheap all of the time which is a negative but not a death sentence and all of the characters are thinner than a piece of paper.

But still. Creative kills, entertaining action and this could still be fine enough. It isn't. The kills are not good. A lot of things happen off screen and the characters are so insufferable that you really want to see interesting kills and you don't. Oh yeah, and there's a lot of dialogue. A lot.

The worst part is that the "hero" character is the most insufferable one out of the bunch, which is saying something, and yeah the ending is not satisfying whatsoever. If this movie set you up to hate everybody and then just ended in a bloodbath wouldn't be a 1. There is no payoff. It is just annoying and bad.
