Do you love superbly bad movies? I’m talking movies that have a iv, v, vi installment? Movies that are complete trainwrecks, yet you can’t peel your eyes from the screen? Movies that won’t come close to making the invite list for the Oscars, but were the jewel of your Friday movie night? Then boy-oh-boy do I have the movie rec. for you!
Just imagine, you’re a marine biologist studying the effects of ocean pollution on sharks, when the shark that you’ve been tracking for months leads you to the floating island of plastic out in the middle of the ocean. Your entire team suits up and dives in order to obtain a blood sample from said shark, and then things quickly turn for the worst. Fast forward a few years, and you are now working in oceanic conservation in Paris, when you are suddenly blindsided with the knowledge that the shark you were tracking all those years earlier, has now made its home in the catacombs of the Seine River, under Paris. You now feel it is your responsibility to save the good people of Paris from this vicious shark, but you are thwarted at every turn by politicians, police, and protesters. Will you cut through the red tape in time to save lives, or will the shark gain a permanent French residence?
My family loved this movie, and we all thought it had the perfect mix of jumps, gasps, twists, turns and that unmistakable cheesiness that makes any lower budget sci-fi movie a winner in our books. It made for a great movie night, and we are desperately hoping Netflix opts for a sequel!
