One by one, a group of strangers find themselves kidnapped
and brought to a strange place. Chained up and hooded, they learn that their
captor intends to release them, provided they pass a few tests. Every day they
must face and kill a shark, or die trying.
I love movies that are so bad that they’re good. A good
example of that, from the creature feature category, is Sharknado. Shark Week,
however, was so bad that there was nothing good about it. That’s a very
different thing. Not every B movie is going to fall under the “it’s so bad it’s
good” category.
The problem with movies coming from The Asylum Production Company
is that they will produce anything B movie-ish. They don’t make a distinction
between bad-bad and good-bad. That means they have a terrible reputation with
movie fans. They’ve produced roughly 160 movies, most do tend to fall under the
“terrible” category, but there are a few gems. We all know I enjoyed Sharknado; I also enjoyed Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies among
others. Still, the bad is starting to outweigh the good.
This movie had terrible acting, terrible graphics, a terrible
storyline, and a terrible script (my brain is still twitching from “a lot more
easier”).
Don’t put yourself through the agony of watching this crap,
but try to keep an open mind about The
Asylum. Their movies don’t always
suck.
