Blue Demon

Are you familiar with those straight-to-"video"/made-for-tv shark movies? I don't see how you couldn't be, there's like a hundred of them. This one isn't special. It's boring, has only a few deaths, and whenever the sharks appear all they do is swim towards the camera. The acting is bad, but it could be a lot worse, so be thankful, it's actually watchable. The story is silly and filled with cliches and rip-offs from everything, but again, it could be a lot worse. One thing I really love, however, is the title! Blue Demon sounds so cool and promising yet this movie does not live up to that promise.


It isn't all bad though. Overall, this film is not the worst choice for a fun night with friends, but you could do better...

Deep Blue Sea

Deep Blue Sea, one of the more famous shark movies, and one of the better ones... The story is alright, and works well. It puts the sharks in a human environment, and most of the time it works. It's pretty scary seeing sharks swim through flooded corridors to attack humans. Imagine if this happened in Titanic or Poseidon Adventure, it would've been cheesy(and historically inaccurate for one), but pretty scary.

Perhaps the film's greatest asset is its production values. The sharks all look great, thanks to a good blending of practical and visual effects. The shark attacks are well done and unexpected. It's a fun game trying to guess who's going to be killed next.

"Please don't kill me!"

I really enjoyed this movie, it's one of the more well made shark movies out there. It's a solid, fun action/adventure movie.

Hello and Welcome to Great White Films

Hello there, I'm Sen and I will be your guide through the many movies about sharks, and possibly movies that just happen to feature sharks in them! I've moved from an old website, www.sharkfilms.4t.com, which I found hard to keep up with and FULL of nasty ads, so I decided to create a blog to post my feelings about the various shark movies out there!

So... hello... welcome...
