Deep Fear

An unforgettable experience for the worst possible reasons. The plot isn't bad, although predictable, but what destroys any chance of taking the film seriously is its development. The script takes too long to present the real conflict - the fight for survival that is mentioned in the microsynopsis - and when it does, where's the tension? None, absolutely NONE of the danger scenes electrify the viewer. And everything is made even worse by the performance of the lead actress. She needs to cut down on the botox if she wants to have any future in the industry. Utter nonsense. It's not so rubbish as to be amusing, because it takes itself seriously all the time.

The lead actress is horribly miscast in this role. Maybe for telenovellas she is okay but she dragged this movie straight down to the bottom. All the others were passable, if sometimes a bit over the top. Clearly some money was spent on this film, nderwater sets and action sequences, heck even the CGI sharks were decent. Yes the script had some hiccups and poor writing. The actors did the best they could but Gehena....really should not have been the lead in a movie like this. Hopefully the film does okay or has it as a "so bad its good" kind of success. Does make you wonder how much sea life is addicted to cocaine though.

The storyline is fine, everybody loves a shark movie - but you need a few characters you care about for it to work. And this movie actually has that, but the main character... wow, that's just cringey, and it ruins the whole movie. She doesn't come across as particularly resourceful and skilled at sailing or diving, and frankly... isn't that kind of the premise of the film? Ghenea is incredibly beautiful, and I have no doubt she's a stunning model, but this movie is more or less gratuitous shots of her features - and it just becomes cringey. If she can act, the director failed her miserably.

I looked her up, and can see that she had a cameo as Sophia Loren in House of Gucci. Now, that's a part I could actually see her rock, because it goes well with her femme fatale appearance.

Watch The Shallows instead for a female lead shark movie that's actually worth watching. Or even Crawl with the sharks being substituted for alligators instead.

I actually feel sorry for them putting her in this. Never ever did she belong in a leading role let alone films in general. She is super pretty and some may enjoy just the eye candy element but my god she was not meant to act in films... I never leave reviews but this was beyond cringey... the director needs to find new ways to flirt.

Not only is the entire management and operation of the sailboat insanely incorrect which I get it. It's a movie and you shouldn't nitpick on those things. However, they did slo-mo shots of absolute obvious inconsistencies and glaring errors. I can't believe they showed her backing up the actively running motor boat towards people in the water. You don't have to own boats to know absolutely how dangerous that is.

And it's clearly just about her and the cringey long shots of her doing meaningless things in the beginning just instantly tells you everything that you need to know this movie is going to be about.

It's more like a creepy love letter from a Director to an actress (even that's being generous) than it is a creature feature, which is what I really thought it was going to be.

I love bad movies when they're cheesy, but this is not cheesy this is actually comically poor. If you want drone shots of not the Bahamas, but Malta you'll have about 10 minutes of entertainment. I started doing my taxes half way through because they were more interesting and God bless this movie for helping solve my procrastination.

Acting is terrible in this, storyline has been done numerous times but the film itself still could have been good, if there had been anybody in it who could actually act. I've seen far worse Shark films than this mind, it's a, "i can't find anything else at all" to watch kind of film. The rating on this will just keep falling and if you watch it you will see why. For those who purely are here to watch another Shark film, you may enjoy, In all honesty the Sharks are probably better actors than the people in it and they ain't even real, say's a lot about the film. Watch it, don't watch it, just don't have any expectations.
