Water, sharks, and blood - three classic spices to create a thrilling horror movie. Imagine you are swimming in relaxed time with friends and hundreds of other visitors. Suddenly there was a fin coming down, moving quickly, and one by one the visitors began to match the puddled blood, muddy blue sea air. However, the latest horror film that presents sharks actually takes the setting on the lake, not in the sea. How can sharks live on a lake?

Shark Night, a horror film by David R. Ellis, tells the story of seven students at Tulane University vacationing in a house in the Lake Pontchartrain area of ​​Louisiana. Like other Hollywood-blooded horror films, Sara's home - the main character in the film, played by Sara Paxton - who has no electronic messages suitable for the outside world. These seven students simply booked a fun holiday experience and they did.

Unbeknownst to them, Lake Pontchartrain has been home to some sharks who have come from nowhere and are stranded there. One by one they started to become victims - from the painful to the sharks' meals. The party screams and blood begins! Things worse than the people they had to rely on were the sheriffs who could not pay attention to the events around him and the two unfriendly people.

Shallow character, predictable story, and strange scenes

Enjoy the rush of American horror stories, most of the protagonists who are in the spotlight only have the role of a victim who will grace the big screen with blood splashes. Even from the seven students of Tulane University in this film, only Sara Powski and Nick LaDuca (Dustin Milligan) whose roles are important. Aside from being a homeowner, Sara is also told to have a history of romance with Dennis Crim (Chris Carmack), one of the residents of Lake Pontchartrain. Nick LaDuca's character uses the role of a student who helps the people who are the victims of the shark's safest.

In terms of stories, Shark Night does not serve plots that "bite", even some scenes of shark attack that was presented was not so tense and occasionally raises the question in my mind. As in the waterskiing scene that shows Malik (Sinqua Walls) is attacked by a shark and forced to swim to the edge of the lake. In the scene is shown speedboat driven by Nick has been down the lake quickly, away from the edge of the lake, and the spot is surrounded by trees. However, when Malik fell, suddenly he had swum to the edge of the lake safely. How could he swim at such a distance and still manage to dodge a shark attack with a higher swimming speed? A similar scene occurs several times during the movie.

Various details and minor faults are evident in this movie. As Beth (Katharine McPhee) is told has just made a tattoo on his back and suddenly was able to soak in the pool. Or one of the characters told lost one arm due to a shark attack. In a scene, the character is seen very clearly hide his arm behind his back. Perhaps the best part of the film is the CGI animation of every shark that looks real and creepy. Moreover, several times shown the shark can pounce on its prey by jumping out of the water. This movement is certainly more sinister than the speed of their swim that even beat speedboad and jetski.

Viewed in terms of story, depth of character of each character, and the execution of a number of scenes, Shark Night movie is more suitable if released directly to the DVD. Many scenes that feel cliche and predictable, even some scenes of shark attacks are shown not enough tense to make the audience sit on the edge of the chair while half blindfolded. However, a number of actors in this film managed to play its role well and deserves thumbs up.
