Attention children: This is where "American Idol" gets you
I didn't watch "Shark Night" thinking I was going to see a good movie. I expected it to the cheesy, nudity filled gore-fest that the trailer had hinted it was going to be. It didn't deliver on any of those promises, because, sadly, it was PG-13. Instead of over the top schlock, like the neo-grindhouse movement, it took itself way too seriously. At times it felt like the writer told a joke, but the director missed it completely. The gore was limited to some shark guts, popping out at the screen in glorious 3D. I wanted a enjoy a bad horror movie, the kind you could laugh at and still be a little grossed out by, and instead I got another sub-par horror movie that missed the mark on either side of good/bad spectrum.
Grade: F
The difference between good/bad, and just plain bad.
