Tubi Thursday: Killer Shark (2021)

 After watching the Documentary on Sharksploitation, I thought 'Why not watch one?'

I remember how I watched a ton of those cheap, Chinese CGI Monster Films.
They made a Shark one (or 12).

Here's one...

After a Syfy Channel Opening, we get a bunch of random people meeting up.

Do you care if one used to date?
Do you care if one is dating now?
What if one was a gold digger?

No?
This one is pretty low-budget, so bear the following in mind...

The happy Couple are playing while she steers.  
She takes a 10 cm right turn, hits a reef and the boat flips over...off-camera.

Sigh.
One of the ladies somehow cut her leg- which draws the titular Shark later- and refuses to swim to an island in the distance.

A guy- whose sole character trait is being kind of fat- also doesn't go.

This doesn't end well for them.
The other group swim/float towards the Island.

After some stalling- since the Shark has to eat the other two- they finally get confronted by the Shark.

They get picked off one by one and they're all sad.
If you're hoping for a fun, dumb Shark Film, look elsewhere.

This is 70 minutes of melodrama with a single Shark that has like 2 moves.
The End.
I was hoping for more.  Tubi- and all Streaming Services- are full of lots of big, dumb Shark Films.

Doll Shark.
House Shark
Ghost Shark
Ouija Shark 1 & 2
Noah's Shark
Ozark Sharks

I'm sure that they aren't good- especially since a couple are Mark Polonia Films- but they are probably some dumb fun.

This is closer to an attempt by China to make a Film like Open Water.
Fine goal, I suppose, but it doesn't make for a fun Film.

The Shark looks fine, but not amazing.
It loves to bump boats to knock people into the air...and then not eat any of them in mid-air.

Even the Shark is boring.

Oh well, maybe the inverse version of this Film is more fun.
A pretty underwhelming Film with a decent Shark- I guess.  It's not the worst Film I've seen, but...it's not all that interesting or exciting.
