Tucker reaches the lifeboat and uses the radio to call the dispatcher
Synopsis
A family trapped in a hurricane-flooded vacation rental must keep going further and further up into the massive house as the water becomes infested with sharks.. When he explains his circumstances then gives up communicating by radio, the dispatcher makes no effort to follow up with him about his circumstances or the fact that the boat's crew went missing..
This isn't even by the numbers directing as many numbers are missing, the way he shoots scenes is identical from one to the next and key things he should show you he just doesn't
Well, just when the Sy Fy (hate that abbreviation) channel stopped showing and funding these identical and usually terrible monster movies it seems Tubi will take up that awful baton and beat you in the head with it.This is a real shame as Tubi is one of the best streaming services out there with a wide diverse collection of movies old and new to watch, so when they started doing their own films I had hopes, all of those dashed by this.This "movie" is from the same folks who made them for Sy Fy, this time the budget is probably a little lower which may be why Sharknardo director Ferrante is only the writer on this one and they went with Fred Olen Ray impersonator Jared Cohen to direct. You might think I'm using this to insult him but Cohen has actually said he aspires to be Olen Ray, so I guess he's succeeded at failing and doing so as boringly as possible over and over again.
Actors expressions change from shot to shot though they are supposed to happen at the same time, it's just a sloppy careless joyless lifeless thing
Forget about talent there is no skill displayed here and for as many times as Cohen has been making a movie he doesn't seem to know what to do or, even worse, was just getting pay check and rushing off to the nearest bar to try to forget it all.Most of the blame can be laid on his door as there is never a good angle or performance in the whole thing and some of it barely cuts together, no action scene ever builds any tension or excitement and well, what's left to botch when it doesn't deliver any of that. In fairness the script is bad, kind of a let's take the cheapest scenes from Sharknado and make a whole movie around them, but the performances are just dreadful even given the warmed over leftovers from Sharknado's "serious" ; or "character" moments.Ok but how are the CGI sharks?
Sad boring day for tubi fans, I'm sure there is more just like this waiting to darken your life
Well there's only one of them and it's better than the worst CGI sharks you've seen, but the kills are ineptly done and there aren't many of them.Terrible sound job and music but the film doesn't deserve any better.I think with this movie I'd have to say there are more terrible shark movies than almost any other genre.
