Shark Huntress

source: Shark Huntress

This was absolutely rubbish! I like Shark films, thought l might get a good horror. None of the actors could really act. The old guy Guru was the worst. Hope you didn't pay him a lot, he was a waste of money! Sheila was supposed to be American, she didn't even try to use an American accent. The best part was Sheila's two dogs she was fussing while she was in America, the one star is for them. Glad l didn't have to pay for the film.

It had a nice environmental message going on, but sadly that's the only good thing I can say about it. The message doesn't come across great, because the script is so awkward. There's too many long drawn out conversations, and the acting is terribly still. I love terrible shark films, but what disappointed me about this is that's its barely got sharks in it. I come for the sharks with this these films. So this was a big let down for me.

Masterful film making. What a piece of art. Strong emotional connections with the characters with a profound environmental message. How many Oscars did this win??? Omg soooooooo bad, please watch.

1) boring 2) long and drawn out dialogue 3) poor acting 4) no likeable characters 5) you see maybe 5mins total of the shark 6) shark is horribly biologically inaccurate. It even has a dolphin's tail 7) the shark literally appears on call no matter where the characters are. One scene even sees it lured with a steak??? 8) the characters walk everywhere with no luggage but have immediate access to a 2m tall antenna that they "bought with them" 9) the main character literally carries a picture of her mum everywhere. Not a photo, not a phone pic, a framed photo that fits easily into her tiny bag apparently 10) plot is non existent 11) "stunts" are terrible. Theres a scene with a woman on a kayak being "attacked" and you can see her swimming under the kayak although "dead" 12) main character has flash backs to kayak woman's death whilst learning to dive, despite neither knowing the woman or seeing her death 13) romance scenes are forced and random 14) main character shoots a spear gun on land. Whilst looking down the barrel. The force alone of the kick back out of water would have torn her jaw off 15) main characters outfit changes scene to scene with no explanation (watch for the pink top) 16) after their friends are killed they show literally no emotion The best part of this entire movie is the driftwood chair the characters sit on when on the jetty.

Terrible acting all around. One of the most boring films I've ever watched. I was expecting something interesting & to actually see sharks. Honestly save yourself 83 minutes.

Well not much to say about this movie. You won't find worse acting than in this movie. A shame as the concept of this story could be great, but it is far from great.

The cinemaphotography on this is striking - from the opening shots, the DP has it nailed. And it appears, sadly, to be the strongest aspect of the film. The story is confusing, and even the explanatory discussions between characters don't serve to clarify anything. "Your mother had a secret lab, that wasn't a secret. She shot a video in front of the dream lab but had a real one in a secret location." What? Why? Whose guru are you, anyway, and why are you hanging around with a bunch of kids, and one od those kids' mums? Nothing really makes much more sense than that the whole way through. As others have pointed out - randomly attacking a shark seems ... random. But, maybe the connection is the Channel 10 news report included early in the film that says Great Whites don't patrol Micronesia, and don't come within 1000km of where the "murder" took place. So, possibly the "that's the one" assumption is based on their not being any other Great Whites within cooee. Most of all, I'm struggling to work out the connection between the shark attack and the crusade against polluters of plastic. Just doesn't seem to have the synergy I'd normally go for in a movie storyline. I watched this as part of a "shark film" binge - you know, the bunch of Asylum Mega Shark films, and other bogus scifi B and Z grade creature-features. This one, she's not like the others. Shark Huntress tries to take itself seriously as an eco-flick, and it suffers from a low-grade script, dreary acting, and zero tie-in between the shark attack and the eco-warrior side of things (apart from an early one-liner about disturbed migratory patterns). Don't flick this on looking for a good time. It's trying to get across a serious message and makes itself unwatchable in the process.

I would have easily given this movie a 10/10, except for the fact that I only watched 5 minutes of it, but wow, were those 5 minutes the best 5 minutes of my life.would highly recommend.

There are bad films and then there is Shark Huntress. The dialogue was so halting it was almost as if they were reading crib notes to do their lines. The "Guru" character was so patronizing he sounded as if he was addressing a grade-school classroom. Horrid film, horrid dialogue. A total waste of time.
