Deep Fear: squali negli abissi

Watched it as it was filmed in my island Malta,

There was a big hype about it, but I was extremely disappointed. The plot sucked, the acting was at best 2/10.

The Aerial shots kept changing from the The Caribbean and suddenly we have a different landscape and it's in Malta.

I've seen many shark movies but this will go down as one of those you should have missed. The attacks and kills were so fake, some water scenes looked unnatural like one is standing rather than swimming.

The plot could have been better but the terrible acting killed the movie.

Hope I will make up for the time lost whilst trying hard to get into the move.

A Big Miss.

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.

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.

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.

Bad script, bad directing, bad soundtrack, bad pace, awful acting. The CGI of the sharks was the only decent thing in this hard to watch movie.

In fact, it was so bad it becames cringe, painfully to see. They really have no idea what to do and you can see this in every scene of this garbage.

As a SF/horror fan, this film looks like a SyFy production, only worse, because SySy it's bad on purpose, this is bad as a supreme stupidity.

Anyway, as a romanian i can appologize only for the Madalina Ghenea, a female with no acting talent what so ever. And the same charisma as a dead fish. I'm so sorry we gave her to you, no one deserves the pain of seeing Ghenea acting.

For the rest of this trash, it's not my fault. Sometimes, s### just happens.
