An alien object that was lost in the Bermuda Triangle begins making the sharks in the area ultra-hostile to the point where they’re, uh… raging. Our heroes are a group of scientists doing research in an underwater lab in the area, and things go badly for them from all sides.

When I reviewed Open Water, I mentioned that if you were looking for heavy-duty shark attack-action, you were in the wrong place. This film would be the right place. It has it’s faults, but it has shark massacres of which the world has never seen. There’s a bloodbath on the beach that makes massacre seem like an understatement, and one scene where a shark swallows that really kicks ass.

There are flaws, as I mentioned. The most annoying being one character who has the worst pretend accent ever. Really, I’m not even sure if he was supposed to be British or Australian or what, he just sounded like an American that liked using Brit terms like “bloody”, “mates” and “chaps, which if you’ve ever heard an American like that, they sound really retarded. Maybe he was supposed to be retarded. He was a fine actor, just a horrible accent-faker. If you’re reading this, dude, don’t do that anymore.

Also his character and his Russian pal were stolen from Alien, but it didn’t bother me, it was as good scene they were imitating, so there’s some good taste involved.

Another troubling aspect was a plot that was not only needlessly complicated, it was actually annoyingly complicated. Sharks going crazy and eating folks, that was a fine plot. Once you toss in covert ops guys, aliens in spaceships and a submarine captain, you’ve got too much filler and not enough killer.

Other than the above and the unimaginably long climactic finish, I enjoyed the movie, though. It was predictable at times, but always entertaining. The last (and very long) couple scenes were sharkless, which is a bad plan and will piss some people off who rent this for the sharks. Come to think of it, what kind of fool would rent a movie like this for another reason? The sharks pretty much make up for it, though. They really shred some poor bastards.

5 out of 10 unrealistically sexy scientists

After reading this review, I picked this one up at the local [videostore] this weekend. For the most part this film was entertaining. It didnt take too long for some serious shark action to occur. The sharks actually looked really good. I'm not sure what type of special affects were used during this movie but all of the shark attacks looked really good.

With a movie called Raging Sharks I was expecting some really cheesy special affects and some horrible acting. To my surprise I was wrong. As the Horrorist said, the one British or Austrialian or Irish or whatever the fuck acent he was trying to pull off was laughable through out the film.

But other then that the acting was above average. The ending was so long and so predictable that I kept on noding off and actually spilled my beer on my lap. (it was sharkless as well) But overall a decently entertaining movie that is worth a rent.

5 outa 10 enormous spaceships that hovers above the ocean then returns to space without anybody noticing.
