Shark Night (2011)
7/10
A lot of people didn't get it...

First of all - 25 mil $ to make this? Whow! Where did the money go? Did a shark eat it? Anyways, this movie feels like an 'exploitation' movie, and if viewed as such, delivers perfectly. We can easily see that this was the idea by the speed-up effects during the necessary but uninteresting setting of a few teens having some fun at the lake. Likewise, the special effects were intentionally crappy - but with good delivery, keeping the creepy effects of, say, the tiger shark's teeth. It also numbs a 'horror' feel of blood and gore, which would hurt this movie. We actually do get some substance and story here, much more than other sharkploitation films like 'Jersey Shore Shark Attack' - whereas here, there are 'bad guys', unlike 'Jaws', with a hidden plot and agenda, and there are a few twists.

A movie that fits above average in the genre of two headed shark, sharktopus and sharknado. If you like those, watch this and enjoy it. If not, steer clear. Personally, and to my surprise, I was entertained.
