The plot: A man must protect his small coastal town from a large shark but without the benefit of Richard Dreyfuss or Robert Shaw.


Random observations:

  • This is the 3rd sequel to the film Shark Attack.
  • I know they don't really growl, but I love it when sharks growl in shark movies. These sharks growl.
  • Hey! Reused surfer attack footage from Shark Attack 2. And you thought we wouldn't notice, you crazy motherfuckers.

Remember when those kids did a shot-for-shot remake of Indiana Jones in their back yard? This is sort of like that only with Jaws. But instead of having obsessive fans write the script, it feels like it was written by someone whose cousin saw Jaws once and thought it was really cool.

The verdict: I'm not quite sure who the intended audience is for this film other than friends and family of the people who made it, but it's certainly not me. Maybe it's you. But probably not.

An escaped maniac returns to his childhood home on Christmas Eve, which is now a sorority house, and begins to murder the sorority sisters one by one. Streaming on Hulu So I just watched the original Black Christmas for the first time a couple days ago, so it's pretty fresh in my mind. One thing that made Bob Clark's version better is that the low budget aspect of it actually contributed to the creepiness and horror. This version looks better in a lot of ways, but the polish detracts from the gritty horror that helped the 1974 version succeed better at the goal it se
