Shark Night Reviews
This is the sort of lazy commercial filmmaking that should not be rewarded.
| Original Score: 2/10 | Feb 28, 2024
Even with a slightly different plot from its peers, it's still a completely dull and uninspired experience.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 24, 2023
A movie that lacks rhythm and balance. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 20, 2023
Trash, but without even the benefit of being good trash.
| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Mar 8, 2023
... a fun entry in the shark attacking young people subgenre. It’s not a serious shark film and should be taken for what it is, a spring break massacre type of film that uses sharks and other animals to do the carnage.

So bad that you might just enjoy yourself.
| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 22, 2020
Too silly to be seen as any kind of serious critique of American culture and too caught up in its own thematic self-reflexivity to be a completely satisfying piece of junk horror.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 6, 2019
Ellis does a good job with timing and cuts together what looks like footage of real sharks with his actors in a way that makes us take notice without having too many shots where what we may assume is an animatronic shark is in frame with a performer.
| Original Score: B | Feb 8, 2019
No matter how hastily pieced together the film feels, you can't help but admire Ellis' tenacity... It's just a shame it's not any good.

When I wasn't laughing at the scenes of sharks leaping out of the water to attack their prey (in trees! on jetskis!) I was questioning the happy coincidence of a runaway motorboat heading directly towards a pier littered with flammable gas tanks.

An atrocious waste of time, this "Night" is one you'll quickly forget.
| Original Score: 0.0/5 | Jun 30, 2013
Predictable. Disposable. Listless. Boring. This is not how you make great horror films.
| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Mar 21, 2013
The most disturbing sequence comes after the end credits, actually, when the actors are shown performing together on a really bad rap video.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 15, 2013
This clearly isn't a film that wants to win awards for logic, so it dives head first in to just pure idiocy, and never comes back up for air.

Never mind that the film is never scary; it also is never much *fun*.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 6, 2012
Awful on nearly every level, but wholly entertaining as a laugh-out-loud party movie. Shark Night is dumb, but you probably won't care.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Jan 29, 2012
This film falls apart in the deliberately bad character development which never quite registers as a joke but rather as a weak attempt at actually developing the characters.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 22, 2012
The end result is a horror effort that never becomes the guilty pleasure it clearly wants to be...
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 3, 2012

This is a pretty bad movie that (I think) knows it's a pretty bad movie. What keeps it from being even worse and entering into the useless 'torture porn' genre is its PG-13 rating, which teeters on the brink of 'R' territory throughout.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 22, 2011
