Title: Red Water
Post by: Ted C on October 01, 2014, 09:50:21 AM
Caught on Netflix. It's pretty darned bad. Typical of the kind of B-grade stuff Lou Diamond Phillips has been doing since the 90's (I vaguely remember him being considered A-list in the 80's).

The shark effects are sub-par (it's often painfully obvious that it's a foam prop). The acting is hokey (in a B-grade acceptable way). The story is all over the place.

Nice to see Kristy Swanson, though.

It actually looks slightly better than most of the junk I've been watching lately (of course they can do that with trailers lol).  I'll have to give it a shot.   :thumbup:

I have seen this: filmed in South Africa and directed by Charles Robert Carner, the writer of GYMKATA. Not too bad at all.

That was not the trailer. The film was a TBS movie (horning in on Syfy?). The original trailer is on YouTube (can't post links yet).

We also did this one and reviewed it on our podcast. Definite do not - even with Kristy Swanson.
