Blood in the Water

Really bad torture/captive Saw type movie cept its in a pool that has a shark that swims around in it. Pretty stupid. Bad dialogue. Really not a lot to offer.

And IMDB has now made it so a review has to have 600 characters before it can be entered. I really don't expect that to last very long because people are sure to complain about it. But until that happens I guess we have to expect reviews to be long winded and sometimes about absolutely nothing to do with the show in question.

I think this might have been yet another Gravitas Ventures movie made for IFC but I could be wrong. Definitely no more than a 2/10.

Saw says hello Jaws, what big teeth you have. All the better to eat you with Saw. So yeah they're trying to capture something with Saw and Jaws like tendencies. Those two movies are orders of magnitude better than this film. I mean Jaws has so much to offer as a movie even without the actual shark attack parts. The build up, the story, the characters, it's all there. Jaws is a really classic movie that should be experienced several times to fully appreciate it. The Saw movies are quite extraordinary in what they did too. Not quite up there with Jaws but as horror movies they were pretty good movies. You find yourself going hell yeah when someone gets it. It makes you feel something, even if it's only blood lust and revenge fantasies. This movie Blood in the Water is just appalling bad. It's an insult to Jaws and Saw to give it the tag line Jaws meets Saw or whatever it is they're claiming. It's dull as dishwater with some really bad acting. People just recite their lines with zero emotional content included. There are sections of swearing which do nothing to add drama or grit. It's like they couldn't think of coherent sentences to write so they filled it up with swearing. I just found the movie really lacking in any merit. There is nothing enjoyable about the film. It's really not worth your time to watch this film.

If I had to rate each category, it would go like this:

Acting: 7 Color: 1 Special Effects: 0 Plot Twists: 0 Scenery: 1 (the whole movie is a pool) Story Line: 5 (it's been done so many times before)

This is the best shark movie ever made!

Just love it from the start till the end.

My hair is raising all over my body, really goosebumbs-movie!

And remember folks, turn up the volume!!

That's an insult to both "Saw" and "Jaws". To be honest it's an insult to "Jaws the revenge" and that's a difficult movie to insult.

First scene a guy tries to cut through a metal shackle with prunning shears. So you already know this is going down hill quickly.

Bad acting, terrible script, horrendous direction and if this movie had an editor it was only in name as they clearly didn't actually do any work.

Dismissed.
