A while ago I reviewed The Shallows (to read my review click HERE) it really makes you think about the massive lack of Shark films outside of the usual SyFy rubbish we get. The Shallows was a really good film for me, tense and well acted with a massive shark. So now we see another bikini clad woman or in this case women trapped somewhere by sharks, question is can it match The Shallows?
The mid 90’s to early 2000’s seemed to bring forth quite a few giant monster attack films, sharks, sea beasts, snakes, crocodiles, spiders lots of either giant real animals or made up big monsters wanted to attack people. Whilst Deep Rising had slipped my mind until someone mentioned it on Twitter, Deep Blue Sea I knew about and being as I reviewed Jaws, The Shallows and even Sharknado it seemed right to re-watch and review this one for my Monster Movie Month.
I’ve been waiting so long to see this film it’s ridiculous along with a slight fetish for found footage films (despite them mostly disappointing) I also strange as it may sound love a film set in one place. So along came The Shallows set mostly on a rock out to sea with a bit on the beach and an opening scene of arriving at the beach. Here’s my thoughts on this movie.
Jaws is one of the first monster movies I ever remember watching as a kid and it was the one that made me think of doing a month of monster reviews. It’s obviously considered one of the classics in any genre but does it still live up to today’s standards?
After a night of drinking I sat down today and thought what could I watch as I went about a lazy Sunday. Decided on the classic Jaws because this is obviously a superb film and it got me thinking about how much I enjoy a monster movie. So I’m dedicating this month to watching and reviewing some classic and some not so great monster movies.
