Manages to find a unique way to subject victims to shark-infested terror, though its premise is about the only interesting part of the entire experience.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 22, 2023

The proof is in the pudding - not a single character ever utters a line about there needing to be a clean-up on aisle whatever.

What could have been a fun, over-the-top gore-fest becomes a serious movie about love, forgiving and sacrifice. Alas, the script -- what there is of it -- and the actors just can't pull it off.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 2, 2019

If you're an aficionado of the killer shark genre, it might be worth checking this one out at the multiplex, if only to cheer on an utterly insane idea that is made to work pretty well.

| Original Score: B | Jan 31, 2019

More funny than scary, it often feels like Deep Blue Sea meets The Mist... but what's wrong with that?

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 2, 2013

Bait is fairly exciting, ingenious, well designed, and is perhaps a clever advertisement for online grocery shopping.

Jaws it ain't.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 19, 2013

It is all very silly, and more Corman than Spielberg, but entertaining.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 18, 2013

You've seen this movie without even seeing it.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 18, 2013

Enormous fun, thanks to pacey direction, strong performances, a number of nicely handled gory bits and a script that pays close attention to the demands of the shark attack genre movie.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 18, 2013

Carp all you like at how subtext, plausibility and sense have been sacrificed to this film's high concept, but all the stereoscopic slaughter is irresistibly appealing.

It's not spectacular, but it is good enough to see on the big screen.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 1, 2012

It's non-stop bloody fun from start to finish and one that you certainly should invite some friends over to dig on with you... again and again.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 2, 2012

...my atheism will be cemented if this earns its money back.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 27, 2012

Bait takes itself way too seriously and there are only a handful of witty one-liners. It leaves us with a flat thriller starring a bunch of characters we couldn't care less about.

| Original Score: C | Sep 22, 2012

Sounds like loads of fun - and it should have been.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 21, 2012

To say Bait features flawed logic is an understatement, but what can you expect when a shark floats down the produce section of your local grocer?

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 21, 2012

Think this is absolutely a genre film for a specific audience and I think it will deliver to that audience.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 20, 2012

Would it have been so hard to find really interesting characters, characters to involve the audience and make us care as to whether or not they'll wind up as fish food?

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 20, 2012

Bait 3D needs to put aside the forced poignancy and attain full great bad movie status. Or at least let the sharks eat more characters.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 20, 2012
