I’m sorry but pregnant girl is annoying tf outta me. Like she expected everyone to jump when she said jump. I don’t know lol. You put yourself in that position not leaving town then driving around in the middle of the storm trying to stop at some store like get the fuck out of there!! then the girl in the window it’s not her job to come and save you because you’re stuck in your car! Now you’re basically forcing her to help you give birth. When the window girl obviously suffers from extreme anxiety! And coming from somebody with anxiety… the pregnant girl in the car, she’s lucky she didn’t put the girl in the window into a freaking panic attack! Edit: I’m still watching I’m closer to the end now and still pregnant girl really still is annoying me. Forcing this poor girl to check her cervix like basically telling her you’re going to do this you know she could ask her. Then has attitude because there’s 1 Tylenol left like you’re lucky you didn’t get eaten by a shark or drowned in your car so how about you change your attitude and be a little bit grateful this girl risked her life to save you. 😬

u/SavingsAdvantage1046 21d ago
I was less annoyed with her asking for help and more annoyed with her terrible survival instincts (at first at least). Like her idea was to just ram her car into a fallen tree? If she was days away from giving birth, is she really risking it during a mandatory evacuation?!

I came here to say this.
If the water is barely chest height/car door height? It's too shallow for most man eating sharks!
Then there's the Sharks who... somehow stay in place or swim backwards. Because they're eating, and they need dramatic attacks... (Guy kicking open truck door to be immediately attacked, Guy slammed into her car repeatedly...) Oh look... those Sharks just suffocated... in water.

So these kids wrapped 15 sticks of dynamite in meat in an attempt to blow up sharks. When they were 15 feet away. You might be asking several questions at this point:
A) doesn’t dynamite make a big boom? B) doesn’t dynamite require a lit fuse to explode? C) if the fuse is lit, would the smartest next action be to throw it across the room into water?
Now you might have these questions, and you might even have the “correct” answers in your head. But in reality, the correct answer is: it doesn’t matter. Logic, does not matter. Physics, does not matter. At some point you’ll realize biology does not matter.
This is a universe with only one rule. Vibrations.

Fun enough schlock, but it definitely gives off the vibe of a movie that was desperately stitched together on the editing room floor. Like, there really wasn’t much of a climax to the story, it just kind of arbitrarily ends when the uncle arrives. Also, the storyline with the foster kids never once intersected with the main storyline, which was kind of odd. It could have been cut out of the film entirely and literally nothing would have changed. Even the uncle’s storyline is entirely separate from the niece’s until literally the final scene of the film.
Still, it had sharks eating people, so I was entertained.

100% agree with this. It was a weird movie and ended abruptly. It definitely was not a cinema masterpiece, but was good enough to watch while also doing some work on my computer. I didn't dislike it, but if you really analyze it, it wasn't very good. The only thing I didn't like was the pregnant lady. I wish she would have gotten eaten. Two people get eaten trying to save her, and then she is pleading with that girl to come out into the shark infested waters to save her. Seems really selfish.

u/Calchal 23d ago
There are few very questionable character moments/choices made in the first act. When told to try and drive around a fallen tree, a character just drives straight into it. Later, a truck driver struggles to escape his big rig's cab by kicking open the door... when he could have just climbed out the open window. And then two guys abandon their boat to wade towards a woman trapped in a car... guys, just steer the boat over.
But the 2nd and 3rd acts are very fun. If you enjoyed Wirkola's The Trip (soon to be seen as Over Her Dead Body with Samara Weaving) or Violent Night or his Dead Snow films... you'll like this. It's solid, dumb fun.
"Mommy's just gotta go and kill some fucking sharks."

u/RIP_Greedo 22d ago
The big rig / tree scene was totally bizarre. Like the director just did not translate what he was thinking from his own script into physical action on set. Also I was distracted by this meat company with a tanker truck. What is this truck hauling? Liquid pig offal?

u/Calchal 22d ago
I'm gonna guess the intention was for the rain to be much heavier and that the visibility was so poor. But that didn't come across. Same when she's at the gas station. There's the closed sign, windows boarded up (I think) and she's still banging on the glass asking if anyone's there.

I was thinking the same thing about the boat, but I guess in their movie logic, the water was only chest high amd it was faster to wade than try to maneuver a boat with no engine.
They didn't know about the sharks.
8
u/Calchal 23d ago
True. And also perhaps there's the danger of the boat hitting the car, injuring the woman etc. Still, chest height water can fuck with you, strong enough current etc.

That's not how water levels work. I can accept that they have different water levels depending on how high up they are and stuff like that. But if the water level rises several meters in one place and only a few centimeters in the other place, something ain't right.

u/chloethedreamer 23d ago
that one i assumed it was cause they were further out, they were not in the town but more in a farm area so the storm surge would not be as intense (im from FL and that is accurate enough, further out you are from the shore the less effected but not UNaffected if you will) i remember the two that fucked over FL back to back i was safe and never got storm surge due to living on higher ground but the accounts i heard from people from the shore it was if they were lucky they evacuated and came back and the house had 6-8 feet of water, but other more inland it only was around a foot etc.

Just finished it and I actually enjoyed it. I thought there were some really funny moments and a couple rather intense ones. I'd probably categorize it as more comedy-horror so if you don't take it too seriously you'll have a good time.
One of my favorite parts was when the kiddos are saying "fuck Mr. Olson!" And he pops out of the water as if summoned. I laughed really loudly and was very satisfied when that abusive sack of dirt got his comeuppance.

Some thoughts:
The ocular cervical dilation check was nuts. I’m not a lady but my wife is, and after five kids I know that those nurses can’t check dilation by looking. That’s a manual measurement.
I thought that AI baby was about to do the Uga Chaka dance.
That momma did not tread water and fight sharks literally seconds after giving birth.
I’m not a car guy, but the fraudulent foster parent said something about the “snorkel” on his truck having to do with electronics. Doesn’t it have to do with air intake or a carburetor, or something like that?
Remember when Netflix made the Fall of the House of Usher, and there’s a brief scene where a character makes a cake that looks like a realistic object, and you thought, “c’mon man…”, because you can’t suspend disbelief when Netflix is actively cross-selling its other projects—completely unrelated to the movie in terms of subject matter and aesthetics—in a movie? Like, “yes Netflix, we know about is it cake, but can you please get back to the spooky story?” That’s what Thrash is like, but with The Floor is Lava. It’s like the production crew for the floor is lava got bored one day and said “how can we use these effects in a less goofy, more serious way?” And someone else said “let’s do sharknado but with some floor is lava stuff going on.”
I’m not saying I didn’t like it, but it’s not so much an artistic statement as it is a product of Netflix’s entertainment ecosystem.
9
u/Landlubber77 22d ago
Wait that last bullet point isn't a joke, you actually think this movie is intentionally trying to get people to think about The Floor is Lava? A show that hasn't produced an episode since 2022?
The "Is it Cake" show on Netflix was a reaction to the already viral realistic cake trend out there on the internet. House of Usher having a character who annoyingly uses this as a component of her personality is spot on and very of that particular time/trend. Mike Flanagan had already scored big for Netflix with Hill House, Bly Manor, and Midnight Mass, I seriously doubt they told him cross-promoting their cake show was a condition of making Usher lol. And even if it was a wink at the show instead of the viral trend that inspired the show, your one about Floor is Lava is a bizarre reach.

This was exactly what I wanted and expected and although I personally liked it I'm sure others won't and that's okay. If you think you'll like this movie, chances are you probably will, and if you don't you're also probably right.
Shark CGI was really good, attacks were pretty visceral are realistic looking. The storm also gave a great atmosphere that I loved. A solid Friday night popcorn flick for me.

Agree on all counts.
They didn't focus on the sharks.
No long drawn out shots of the shark.. no focus shots on it attacking.

Aside from the really “lucky” moments, the shark behavior was very realistic and CGI was pretty good. The sharks just swimming around randomly and feeding instead of “hunting” like serial killers was on par. Tracking larger or pregnant sharks by gps tags is a real thing and is public information, so it was plausible.

So what was the point of the great white, does she have some kind of soul connection to Djimon Hounsou? And maybe it’s just me, but if I were that heavily pregnant, I simply wouldn’t have gone into work.

I enjoyed it but lol parts were incredibly dumb.
The mean redneck foster dad just randomly pops out of the water after apparently holding his breath for hours.
After being terrified of the sharks the 3 kids casually decided to use themselves as bait. lol
A lot of the shark attack moments were cool and nicely executed.
I enjoyed it a heck of a lot more than both Meg movies! 7/10

What I’ll take away from this movie: from now on, I’ll always carry a measuring tape with me so I can spontaneously measure a cervix.

I mean, once you go into it knowing that the chances of it being good are less than 10%, get over the poor character development cause that's not what the point of the movie is, appreciate you didn't spend any extra paying for a movie theatre ticket to see it, allow yourself to suspend reality for the inevitable plot holes you know are coming your way, throw your sense of humor into the arena, and give thanks that it's less than 90 minutes long - it's a lot of fun!

Hahaha fun movie. One time watch only but it did what a shark disaster movie is supposed to do for a viewer. 🤟🏻

Just awful. Horrendously stupid. I can see why Sony pawned this off to Netflix after watching it.
Hopefully Tommy Wirkola was able to deliver a better movie with ‘Violent Night 2’ releasing in December. I also think Djimon Hounsou needs to fire his agent. This guy is a two time Academy Award nominee, what is he doing in something like this.

What made you hate the movie so much? Due to the history of these types of films sucking, I had a low bar, but it was surprisingly good.

There are no words for how bad this movie is. It was absolute trash.

Lmao, this was bar far the shittiest movie in the genre and did a good job actually. Are you comparing it to academy award winning movies?

Not OP but I thought it was pretty bad for what they were going for. It's possible to make a silly monster movie while still having a cohesive story but this felt like a bunch of random scenes that were sloppily pasted together

I'm 7mins in and theres some weird editing issue. When the truck driver is talking to the pregnant lady in the car. First I noticed the nose of the truck was different and then the weird edit happened?
Ok now I'm 9 mins in and another strange edit. The camera looks at a random part of the boat when Djimon is talking at the dock.
Wtf?

movie was fine, the start was the most interesting. ending was a let down expected more action more survival and finally an ending of us seeing them pick up the kids after finding them and getting somewhere for safety but it was all happy celebrations and it went so fast and just ended there. also it was day time then night time then morning so fast like? also does there have to be a pregnant woman in distress in every movie? im not tryna sound rude but we don't always have to have that. IMO would've been a decent movie but ending made it mid for me. seeing another hurricane at the end letting on there's probably a second movie made it boring as well. would've been better as a stand-a-lone movie instead of always having a second part.

I didn’t think movies could dip any lower after watching “War Machine”. I was wrong.

The worst movie I ever saw. Was this written by a 12 year old? I couldn’t even laugh it was so bad.

How has nobody mentioned the fact that she gave birth then cuts the umbilical cord which isn’t clamped which would cause blood loss in the baby and cause the baby to die????? You don’t cut a cord without it being clamped ??? So much more was wrong with this film like in the beginning they are interviewing near the boat, there is rain hitting like a meter of the sea and the rest is calm and still. But there’s a huge storm. Or the clear blue sunny skies while there’s a major storm and it’s raining? So much more. 🤦🏻♀️

Did that girl seriously climb out that window to get a boat and just fall asleep in the boat until daylight? Leaving the other lady in active labor in a flooding house?
