Maneater

Expect stupid characters, expect harmful effects, expect laughably stupid moments, and expect them to do dumb stuff. Maneater (2022) is another example of bad shark movies that go to on demand or just straight to digital.

The characters are of course idiots and make dumb decisions, also the acting is standard. The acting is bad, and it has bad lines of dialogue, but the acting is still boring to watch.

The plot of the movie is the same as other bad straight to digital shark movies, having people do an activity on or around the water, a shark attacks, and they must survive. Which is just repetitive to watch.

The shark has bad CGI and clearly looks fake. Especially whenever the shark attacks and you cannot tell what is happening all you see is blood and bubbles for a couple minutes, while also having the movie feel slow for no reason.

I do not recommend watching this, if you want a good shark movie to watch then watch Jaws (1975) or The Shallows (2016) they will give a better movie experience.

This movies is bad in so many ways it is difficult to pinpoint any one thing. The script was bad writing and the actors were bad enough to perfectly deliver the poorly written script. As far as the graphics in the movie, they are awful. The shark shots look like something from the best technology in the 80s. So many glaring errors like the volume of blood from an attack. The human body holds at most around 1.5 gallons of blood. On initial bites there were gallons spilled and yet people lived for a bit afterwards. Forget the fact that you die from just the loss of 1/2 to 2/3rds. These folks would have been gone before they even knew what was happening.

There were no 'good' actors in this and Trace Adkins wasn't the worst, but he tried. The man just isn't an actor. It is just uncomfortable to watch him try. There are some very cheesy lines in this film, blueberry pancakes is just one.

I mean, what happened? This guy was Michael in Nikita, had a bunch of starring films and now all he does are awful DTV CGI films! He needs to start taking roles that are more risky. This has to be the ugliest shark in the history of cinema. The guy still looks great, has talent, but seems to be in it for the cash. He's the male Eliza Dushku at this point.

Hopefully better movies are on the way. It's been dud after dud and he could do better.

The location was the best part of the whole film.

The CGI shark is atrocious and there are entire CGI sequences like the floating dead body in the water that made this feel like it was an episode of LEXX.

Don't waste your. Time unless. You're a fan of lifetime and hallmark movies.

Acting is horrible.

The music behind the scenes and the music montages will turn your stomach.

It starts off bad, then gets worse.

Poorly written, badly acted and amateurishly directed , I can't believe I wasted $8 on PPV.

I have to write 600. Characters. And. There's. Nothing. More. To. Say.

Just drags on with music and boring writing. You'll be rooting for the shark. ................... Then there's the fake laughing, fake friends, fake shark, fake anger....... ..............................................................................................."......................................................................................................

I love a Shark movie. Even a fairly bad one is worth checking out. Sometimes it's just a matter of low budget. I've seen a lot of terrible Shark movies, but this one is the worst. I even saw Toxic Shark about a Shark tbst shoots Toxic Waste.

But thus has good awful acting and some pretty terrible CGI. It's more so the acting though. All the actors are terrible. Take me right out of the movie. It feels super fake. Very standard "we're irresponsible young adults on vacation". I really hated this. Skipped around to just the Shark parts and it was still awful. Don't watch this. Even if you like sharks, it's a waste of time.
