Blood Surf

[Chadzilla]

Okay...
A documentary producer, his lady cameraperson, and two surfer dudes go to the Phillipines (the cover box says it's Australia???) to shoot some extreme sports footage, namely the two surfers surfing with sharks.  That sequence alone, filled with rubber fins, CGI sharks superimposed under the waves, and cheesy surfing music, makes the movie worth checking out once.

The crew get directions from an old traumatized Australian guy and his daughter (oh wait, his girlfriend, unless...no, I'm not going there) and head out to an island with shark infested waters with the resort owner, his wife, and their ribald daughter (someone other than the stars has to get eaten first).

Too bad there's this HUGE rubber saltwater crocodile hanging around waiting to tear people apart.  Which it does (using some off screen teleportation - I mean it walks by the leads so it can get some shapely supporting cheesecake?).

The script is horrid, the acting worse, and the effects range from giggle inducing to flat out belly laugh (we're talking processed cheese - puppets, guys in suits, and one motionless head with teeth that wiggle as it bites down on its *ahem* victims).  I hear that director James D.R. Hickox (brother of Anthony) also made Children of the Corn 3: Urban Harvest (which is a helluva lot better than this dreck)

And somebody involved in this movie must have seen Great White (aka The Last Shark)  there's a bitten in half gag lifted straight from it.

The movie is hilariously bad, but still painful to watch.  For that reason I give it one slime.

Geez, writing all this makes me want to watch it again.  I am sick.

This movie rules! Has everyone else seen this glorious piece of trash?

I found it pretty hilarious, as I recall.  And the one chick was VERY cute.

I really enjoyed this one.  Stupid as can be but a lot of fun.  I'll have to get the DVD out again one of these days.  And I totally agree with Indy about the girls
