Shark Night Reviews
Not content to restrict itself to an exercise in "When Nature Attacks," the filmmakers take a hard, ugly turn into torture-porn territory.
| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Sep 9, 2011
Shark Night, handled with impersonality by Snakes on a Plane pilot David R. Ellis, aspires to nothing more or less than carrying along an audience through a string of unremarkable kills, often involving high-jumping fish.

A second round is out of the question. Unless, of course, they called it "Gladys Knight 3D.'' Then all is forgiven.

The sharks are rubber and the performances are wooden and that's just about all you need to know.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 5, 2011
Snakes On A Plane at least displayed a commitment to its magnificent ridiculousness. By comparison, Shark Night 3D just gives dumb movies a bad name.

The result is a movie that isn't crummy, exactly, just blah: when the freakiest teeth on screen belong not to one of Walt Conti's animatronically realized sharks but to a good-ol'-boy called Red, you know you have a problem.

Sharks have it bad enough as endangered, misunderstood predators with a terrible public relations image without seeing their serial-killing stardom drowned out by hammy acting and torture-porn villainy.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 2, 2011
It doesn't even live up to the minimal promises of the title: There isn't enough shark action, it mostly takes place during the day, and the 3-D only asserts itself in a couple of shots.
| Original Score: F | Sep 2, 2011
Shark Night 3D sets itself apart from Ellis's other films in its sincere attempt to humanize its heedless pretty young things.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 2, 2011
A ho-hum series of kills and lulls so predictable that it doesn't even look like much fun for the sharks; when they open wide, they might as well be yawning.
| Original Score: D | Sep 2, 2011
Shark Night is painless, dumb fun, without the smirking self-awareness that made Ellis's 2006 Snakes on a Plane so much better to giggle over than to actually sit through.
| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Sep 2, 2011
A thoroughly shabby attempt to piggyback on the success of last year's Piranha 3D.
Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 2, 2011
This limp teens-in-peril fright flick doesn't even deserve to swim in the same bloody waters as Piranha 3D; frankly, there were more genuine jolts in Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer.

Just two moments are the slightest bit scary and the use of 3D is atrocious, however, at just 91 minutes it's a harmless watch - but certainly nothing you'd want to sit through twice.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 2, 2011
The one crime a B-movie should never commit is boring its audience. By even these low standards, "Shark Night 3D" is dead in the water.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 2, 2011
