Shark Night Ratings & Reviews
jackmeat
October 19, 2024
My quick rating - 3.9/10. I decided to put my Quest 3 to use with this flick hoping for a solid 3D shark attack horror experience, but it didn't quite deliver. The movie suffers from poor acting and lacks intensity, which is disappointing for a creature feature. As for the 3D effects, they feel like an afterthought, only working well in maybe two scenes. The rest of the time, they don't add much to the film's impact minus one airborne shark :) For a horror flick, it's insanely tame. It teases the usual elements—like nudity and gore—but never once gives you boobs and hardly any blood. This makes it a letdown for anyone expecting a thrilling or bloody shark movie. The premise had potential, with an underlying idea involving why the sharks are in a lake, but the execution falls flat. The explanation gets lost in a dull, slow-moving plot that never really picks up. The perpetrators of the scheme are so stereotypical it is amusing and I would be curious to find out if those characters were meant to be a parody of other movies or were supposed to be taken seriously. It’s slightly better than the typical Syfy network fare but still feels like it’s not quite ready for the big leagues. Overall, it's a forgettable experience with a few decent moments but nothing truly memorable and not something I need in my collection to show off Meta's latest toy.

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.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
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.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
A second round is out of the question. Unless, of course, they called it "Gladys Knight 3D.'' Then all is forgiven.
AV Club
Tasha Robinson
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.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
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.
Entertainment Weekly
Adam Markovitz
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.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Not content to restrict itself to an exercise in "When Nature Attacks," the filmmakers take a hard, ugly turn into torture-porn territory.
Slant Magazine
Simon Abrams
Shark Night 3D sets itself apart from Ellis's other films in its sincere attempt to humanize its heedless pretty young things.
Movieline
Alison Willmore
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.

Perri Nemiroff
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.
Boxoffice Magazine
Nick Schager
A thoroughly shabby attempt to piggyback on the success of last year's Piranha 3D.
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
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.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
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.
Big Picture Big Sound
Joe Lozito
How could this movie be so unconscionably bad - so inept in every way - that it actually makes "Jaws: The Revenge" redeemable?
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
A hatefully paint-by-numbers story of pretty young people on vacation flirting, bickering, and dying, with far too little of the third and far too much of the first.
Boston Phoenix
Tom Meek
How did a fleet of ferocious finned carnivores wind up in a lake, even one that's salt water?

Jackie K. Cooper
An okay cast presents a plot with a few twists but the gruesome ones, especially for a PG-13 rated movie, are totally sadistic
Boston Herald
Brett Michel
Of the 350 different species of shark, 46 of them are swimming freely through this Louisiana lake, which I suppose makes sense, since it's made up of salt water. Uh-huh.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
the film's rote nature and its complete lack of the kind of self-aware trashy thrills and humor we might expect from a good Renny Harlin flick (or even Ellis's immortal Snakes on a Plane) drain it of energy and fun.
