Shark

 

 (themoviedb.org)

FROM THE DEPTHS-2020-A lesbian (Angelica Briones) is plagued by guilt, hallucinations, insomnia and mood swings stemming from a shark attack she survived but in which her sister (Marissa Godinez) and boyfriend (Taylor Jorgensen) were killed. (Yes, even though she is in a relationship with a woman named Roberta (Terra Strong), she once had a boyfriend) Both her dead sister and dead boyfriend visit her and warn her against Roberta but it's obviously someone is up to no good and trying to drive her crazy. Her shrink seems weird but there's a twist ending that explains everything. Written and directed by Jorge Montesinos.

Shark Geek

AVALANCHE SHARKS-2014-Brain dead dorks on Spring Break at a ski resort called Mammoth Mt. are terrorized by sharks residing under the snow. Terrible mess despite some extreme gore. The director Scott Wheeler (also a video effects producer) also made ATTACK OF THE KILLER DONUTS.

Thanks for reading!

Shark Bait





OPEN WATER-2003-A couple (Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis) leave their hectic life to take a vacation in the Bahamas. While scuba diving they are left behind in the water after a the crew screws up the head count. The rest of the movie has the two trying to survive while sharks draw closer. 

This unusual movie is not really a horror film as it was sometimes advertised. It's also not made like a typical Hollywood commercial release either. The director/screenwriter Chris Kentis (and his wife) financed the movie and filmed it over a period of 2 years. There are no CGI effects. Those are real sharks (much of the budget went to a professional "shark wrangler"). You might find it a little tedious at first but it builds to an excellent climax. And be sure to watch the credits! It's based on a true incident. Kent had made one film before this called GRIND in 1997.

Note: I just found out there is an OPEN WATER 2!(Everyone probably knows that already!)
