Movies

I agree about Piranha. Even though this mostly takes place during the day (WTF is with the title then?), the image was still dim

And the 3D thus didn't work as well. The screenplay seems like it started as something akin to Deliverance meets Wrong Turn meets The Last House on the Left and then they added sharks in it because it didn't sell and in the end, we get a movie that is Vacancy meets a Syfy Channel Original Movie. The premise is just so off-the-wall and implausibly stupid in a not fun way (like say, the premise for Piranha 3D and its upcoming sequel).

I thought it could have still been rated R as it is given the twisted nature of the plot and how it's handled. Still, they do wimp out when it comes to the actual shark attack scenes.

Nikki says that none of the newcomers may reach $10 mil for the 3-day. {nm} helmetz Sep 02, 22:00

Sharky should have gone for broke with an R-rating as PG-13 clearly didn't help it. Oh Sharky, how you disappoint thee {nm} HarryWarden Sep 02, 22:25

Or lasers attached to their fricking heads. In 3-D. {nm} second dr. evil Sep 02, 22:47

LOL! Maybe they should have made them super smart sharks ala Deep Blue Sea. {nm} HarryWarden Sep 02, 22:48

Strangely, I think it's more brutal than many R-rated movies. It doesn't really play as camp -- just another dumb, violent horror dsbman Sep 02, 23:22

I thought this part of a Sharky review was funny HarryWarden Sep 02, 23:35

I was saying that I thought the PIRANHA 3D looked better. SHARK NIGHT was just atrociously dim, despite its native shoot. dsbman Sep 03, 14:39

I was betting heavily on apollo, too. ow. {nm} perply1 Sep 02, 22:26

It only cost 5M plus probably only 10M or so for marketing so it'll make money. Sharky is in trouble though. {nm} HarryWarden Sep 02, 22:37

It costs about 20 million in P and A to release a film in 2500 theatres and with rewrites and reshoots that 5 mil figure is likely low {nm} notfabio Sep 03, 07:02

Oren Pelis Area 51 is similarly reshooting and that's why that hasn't been heard from {nm} notfabio Sep 03, 07:04

So basically, THR and Variety's early numbers were FOS... again. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 03, 04:34
