DVD Description
Arriving by boat at her family’s Louisiana lake island cabin, Sara (Sara Paxton, Superhero Movie, Last House on the Left) and her friends quickly strip down to their swimsuits for a weekend of fun in the sun. But when star football player Malik (Sinqua Walls) stumbles from the salt-water lake with his arm torn off, the party mood quickly evaporates. Assuming the injury was caused by a freak wake-boarding accident, the group realises they have to get Malik to a hospital on the other side of the lake, and fast. But as they set out in a tiny speedboat, the college friends discover the lake has been stocked with hundreds of massive, flesh-eating sharks! As they face one grizzly death after another, Sara and the others struggle desperately to fend off the sharks, get help and stay alive long enough to reach the safety of dry land.

We would all concede this is a pretty poor, predictable teen horror bore, but for a bit of light, stupid entertainment (and if you love sharks) then this is an ok watch.
From the 'Final Destination' and 'Snake on a Plane' director this is meant to be a silly teen horror popcorn outing, with bikinied honeys, dumb jocks and some quite good mechanical sharks. There are also a couple of local red-neck baddies for good measure.
If you like sharks, and films from the Final Destination/Piranha 3D genre then this will be right up your street, for more serious Shark films watch Jaws, Open Water and ?. Piranha 3-D is more adult, but for most teens this will be a welcomed watch.

After watching Shark Night, I was totally disgusted - NO character development, NO story, NO deep and meaningful inner message designed to enrich the soul and really make you think.
Only kidding.
If you haven't already figured it out, Shark Night is about sharks - sharks that eat people. And, if that's all you're looking for, you shouldn't feel too short-changed.
Shark Night starts off with a couple of carefree, randy American teenagers, frolicking around in a salt water lake - guess what happens to them?
Anyway, cut to the local collage where a group of seven insanely good-looking teens, all armed with quick wits and iphones, go to the same salt water lake to chill out.
Then, when bikini meets shark teeth, there can only be one winner. Okay, so the sharks are all (surprise surprise) water-based, but don't worry, our human heroes find every excuse possible to end up in the water.
So, there you have it. If you like your B-movies bloodthirsty and don't take things too seriously, you'll enjoy this (think Piranha 3D or Cabin Fever). Some other reviews have said the special effects looked cheap and there wasn't enough of the sharks. I found the FX okay and the sharks were hardly given any real dialogue to learn, so give them a break, okay?
A fun, popcorn-munching, 3/5.

Shark Night is basically like a bigger budget version of one of those Syfy channel things. My favourite scene is the bit when a lead character manages to fight the monster after having had one of his arms bitten off! For some reason nonsense like this makes me happy
If you think things like Swamp Shark, Dino-shark, Two Headed Shark attack and Sharktopus are entertaining you will almost certainly like this. Shark Night is an unashamedly generic shark flick, I even heard that at one point the film's makers even toyed with the idea of calling it Generic Shark Movie Project or something.

Being Fed to CGI Sharks
Shark Night is a very poorly executed movie. The cast is awful, the special effects average to bad and the music score, script and plot mostly dull. Read more

Average...
A bland shark film, although most in this genre get compared to jaws anyway, so most film makers are up against a brick wall before they start. Read more
