Deep Fear

I'm normally all about shark movies, even movies that aren't very good just to pass time but this was a HUGE waste of time and wouldn't recommend to anyone. The main actress had so much work done you couldn't tell what emotion she was trying to convey. It was to the point I'd be interested to see what she looked like before the plastic surgery. The acting wasn't good at all and the plot line really had no substance. They do a few dives and the movie is over. Best actor award should go to the sharks, honestly just an awful movie, I gave one star because it wouldn't let me out 0. You'd be better off going and watching "Reef" or "The Shallows", shoot even the classics like Jaws. To put it in perspective I would recommend Jaws 4 over this movie, where the grandma thinks Jaws is following them for revenge😂 (not knocking Jaws I love those movies).

😬😕

Acting is terrible in this, storyline has been done numerous times but the film itself still could have been good, if there had been anybody in it who could actually act. I've seen far worse Shark films than this mind, it's a, "i can't find anything else at all" to watch kind of film. The rating on this will just keep falling and if you watch it you will see why. For those who purely are here to watch another Shark film, you may enjoy, In all honesty the Sharks are probably better actors than the people in it and they ain't even real, say's a lot about the film. Watch it, don't watch it, just don't have any expectations.

Look, I like shark movies especially good shark movies, even guilty pleasure bad shark movies because they are entertaining to watch; but when it comes to this movie, I only watched it because it is a new shark movie that has come out in the year 2023, and I was not that impressed. This new shark movie Deep Fear (2023) was a slow, boring, and standard shark movie that was hard to keep focused on because of how bland the characters are, how the shark is shown, and the uneventful dumb premise to the movie; I do not know what I was expecting from a straight to video shark movie like this.

I did not care about any characters, especially the main character, and there were certain characters that are the antagonists that I found annoying and tiring to listen to; the main character does not have anything about her that is interesting or relatable, all she has is some kind of backstory involving the death of her parents in a boat accident that is not investing and is not brought up that much to make a difference. The human antagonists, who are forcing the main character to avoid sharks and get their drugs, were annoying and standard with me waiting for the sharks to kill them and get rid of them because of how little I cared about what they are doing; also, how their plan to force this girl to get their drugs is badly executed, along with other side characters not making a difference to anything that happens later in the movie.

The sharks themselves were ok, but they do not show up till the halfway point or the third act, and they are slow when attacking these people, other than a few kills being funny to watch, the kills were boring; mostly it is that the beginning/first half of the movie was slow and boring making me lose interest with it taking a while to get going. The cinematography was fine, with there being ok shots of the island they are near, the ocean, and under the ocean where it does look like there was some effort put into it, but it was not enough to make this movie watchable.

I would not waste my time with this movie Deep Fear (2023), it was too slow and badly paced for a shark movie along with it not being interesting or investing to watch; I like shark movies, even entertaining bad ones, but this movie was slow starting, it takes half of the movie to start the main plot, and once the movie ended and the credits started, I was starting to forget about what I just watched. I highly recommend watching better shark movies than this, than waste your time watching this boring and uninteresting shark movie where you cannot be entertained by it.

Either way its a bad indicator of the state of the writing business. This plot might have very well been scratched onto the back of a napkin with a toothpick. The story was so unimpressive and the acting was cringe I don't get how this got the green light. The lead is a very voluptuous female captain who shows no signs of any sailing experience. She pulls on sail lines without any purpose and grinds like she's hand mixing cookie dough. She's likely gotten all her acting skills on insta. The plastic surgeries and botox rendered her into an expressionless cardboard cutout. So can anyone else act in this movie? No they all stunk and their mish-mosh of unintelligible accents made the dialogue frustratingly painful to follow.

The shark wasn't even the real antagonist its just simply there waiting for dinner. I gave it 2 stars for location and scenery.

I actually feel sorry for them putting her in this. Never ever did she belong in a leading role let alone films in general. She is super pretty and some may enjoy just the eye candy element but my god she was not meant to act in films... I never leave reviews but this was beyond cringey... the director needs to find new ways to flirt.

Not only is the entire management and operation of the sailboat insanely incorrect which I get it. It's a movie and you shouldn't nitpick on those things. However, they did slo-mo shots of absolute obvious inconsistencies and glaring errors. I can't believe they showed her backing up the actively running motor boat towards people in the water. You don't have to own boats to know absolutely how dangerous that is.

And it's clearly just about her and the cringey long shots of her doing meaningless things in the beginning just instantly tells you everything that you need to know this movie is going to be about.

It's more like a creepy love letter from a Director to an actress (even that's being generous) than it is a creature feature, which is what I really thought it was going to be.

I love bad movies when they're cheesy, but this is not cheesy this is actually comically poor. If you want drone shots of not the Bahamas, but Malta you'll have about 10 minutes of entertainment. I started doing my taxes half way through because they were more interesting and God bless this movie for helping solve my procrastination.
