Summary
Hurricane Henry has Annieville in its destructive crosshairs.
With just over two hours until landfall, residents are strongly advised to be somewhere else.
Town gets flooded and brings hungry bull sharks.
At the centre of damp squib is Dakota and mum to be Lisa.
Dakota's uncle Dale Edwards rolls up rescuing sleeves, but ironically, the real hero is Nellie, a pregnant great white.
Hyenas of the ocean
Just like Primate is Cujo with a chimp, this is 'Crawl (2019) with sharks', but premise may also have noted Bait (2012), as a group of people are trapped in a flooded supermarket and hunted by great whites.
Anyway, B-movie could've been a blast, but instead was a bomb.
Sure there's gore, but as the whole thing was so boring - I didn't give two shits about anything.
One scene did make me laugh though.
Doug The Camera Guy (Sami Afuni) asks Dale how he became interested in sharks.
Having grown up on the banks of the Zambezi river, he tells us about a hippopotamus that was attacked by bull sharks, showing something he'd never seen before in animal's eyes - fear.
"So did you run back to your hut and get a spear?"
"No. I ran back to my apartment, called the police and had me some pizza. We lived in Mozambique, not the fucking Jungle Book."
