Still, it’s a mostly fun late-summer film, would likely go down easy with a drinking game. Go to Full Review

The female-first vibe is refreshing but Something In The Water is something old, nothing new, a lot that is borrowed and an eyeful of twinkly blue. Go to Full Review

Something in the Water is competently filmed, with lots of propulsive underwater shark’s eye shots of the flailing legs of the bridesmaids. But there’s rather too much time spent watching the girls bobbing and bickering in the middle of the ocean. Go to Full Review

On the downside, the central couple's issues seem bolted on from another story, the dialogue is often unconvincing and the low-budget sharks are very, very silly. Go to Full Review
Kat Halstead Common Sense Media Jul 23
Ominous music, underwater shots of legs flailing, and drone footage of the requisite fin do well to create tension in this generic shark attack horror. Go to Full Review

Jojo A @RT51633185 18h awful, cringy, unoriginal, boring. whole thing feels staged for disaster. Worst group of terrible friends, stupid characters, terrible acting, vomit inducing overacting. anticlimatic. awful shark animation and unreal attack scenes. even the sharks dont know what the hell they are or meant to be doing. at the end even the coastguard is totally off character and is a side extra. the sharks seem to deliberately put enough effort and aim into playing to the directors hands. starts of looking like a graphical horror, ends up being a bunch of softies (the sharks). Jaws the original is far superior to this piece of **** See more gerald C @RT78474501 1d utter crap don't bother See more TRISHA M @RT16319008 1d I watched as much as I could… had to switch off. What a load of rubbish. Stupid young women. I don’t believe anyone would be so dumb to get themselves in that ridiculous situation… absolute tosh! See more Theresa U @RT75292048 Mar 31 I’ve seen a fair few shark films in my day, and I have to say this is fairly decent once you get past the initial character intro. Worth a watch ! See more nilufer e @Nilicim Feb 14 It was decent for killing time, but didn’t leave much of an impact. Tension was there in moments, yet it never fully pulled me in. A watchable, forgettable survival flick if you’ve got nothing else lined up.

Sentí la historia mas real sin tener que poner al tiburón como protagonista principal. See more Read all reviews
