Featured reviews
This movie was so boring and average that even the shark did not wanted to appear for more than 1-2 minutes or so in the entire movie. He preffered to do more valuable things than wasting his time in to this movie.
The cast was not bad and the acting was ok but the plot was ridiculus and they beeped our balls all the time by preaching how we destroy the environment all the times like we don't know that already.
Anyhow if u are a shark film lover then u could check this out once in a theater but i would not suggest to buy the dvd when becomes available.
This is not worth your $$$.
There are a lot better shark films out there.
Here are a few recommendations of so bad it's good b movie shark films which are way better than this.
The meg // deep blue sea trilogy // ice sharks // sand sharks // mega shark vs giant octopus // two headed shark // three headed shark // five headed shark // the shallows // open water.

Some of you acting as if the Director kidnapped you, rinsed your savings account as a ticket fee, and Strapped you Clockwork Orange style to watch this 33,000 times on loop.
Ok list style, here we go.
1. The Kills: Pretty original, some offscreen. I mean how much excitement do you really expect from a 70 foot shark eating a person? Is it a Spielberg level event when you eat a single mini m&m? Grade B 2. The plot: It was alright. A small twist in it. I could see this having a different ending a few ways. Grade B 3. Acting: It was hit and miss. Possibly due to the writing. Don't even try to sell me that 50 shades would have been a better movie with Sir Anthony Hopkins in his Prime with Helen Mirin go cast. Actors can only do so much with the role. Grade C+ The wife, and Son are probably the most believable acting in this.
4. CGI SFX: B It was better than anything The Asylum ever did, but yes it's not the MEG and it's not Jaws and it doesn't have to be.
Over all grade with no Zach Galifianakis-Alan mathematical questions in a casino is a B + cause I like shake movies. To score an A though it's tough to come close to Jaws. Even Bruce the shark for all the issues looks like something you'd NEVER want to see in the open ocean.

Pay no attention to the negative reviews because this was solid popcorn. I stopped going by negative reviews on here a long time ago because they are notorious for saying horrible films are terrific and a decent ones bad. And I found that highly suspicious and that is why I stopped giving credence to negative reviews until I download and watch a film to determine to concur or disagree with them myself. Black Demon is a decent enough surviving a killer shark film to watch all the way through without a lot of wtf nonsensical moments. And everyone saying that the acting is bad must have some real personal animous towards the actors because the cast did their job. I've seen bad and even horrible acting and believe me when I say that there wasn't any in this film. And quite frankly for a killer shark movie, the story made sense. So disregard all the negatives reviews and judge for yourself. As an avid film watcher of all genres, this was a solid one time popcorn watch.
Just got back from watching this movie in the theater and I am still mad about wasting my money on this trash of a movie. The only scenes with the creature are short and happen to quick. Other than that the rest of the movie is nothing but arguing, family drama, preaching about humans destroying the planet, etc. Not to mention there is no character development. First shark movie I have seen where I actually wouldn't have minded if the whole cast didn't make it. If you are wanting to watch a shark film then I wouldn't recommend this one. This movie actually makes The Meg seem like an Oscar worthy film.
I usually really love B grade films, like I'll totally Franken your Fish, but this is just bad all around.
The script is truly awful and I don't care a jot for the characters. That's pretty bad considering 2 of them are kids. The acting is among the worst I've ever witnessed. The dad is over-acting to the point of ridiculousness.
It's basically a propaganda film, illustrating the folly of mankind and our unquenching thirst for the planet's resources.
I'm almost expecting a voice to come on, asking for donations to some environmentalist group.
Go and watch a documentary about Sea Shepherd or something.

- TriviaAt one point Paul is putting on a mask and says "Ain't got no spit," which is the same line Hooper says in Les Dents de la mer (1975) before putting on his mask and entering the cage.
- GoofsWhile preparing to move the bomb, Paul removes his watch and tosses it in his backpack, which he asks Chato to take with him when exiting the Rig. However, during the Prayer Circle, the watch is back on Paul's left wrist, with which that hand is holding Tommy's right hand. A camera pan around the circle comes back to Paul, and the watch is not on his left wrist, which is still holding Tommy's right hand.
