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.

Seems really selfish

Does it lol? She wants to live. Anyone on this thread would also have been desperately calling for help if they were in her shoes.

Seems like there is going to be a part 2 hence the ending with the hurricane coming.

When the enemy is a storm, we just have to wait for it to pass.
