action

A seaquake shakes the idyllic beach in the Californian US city of Malibu and triggers a tsunami that not only panics the previously unsuspecting tourists, but also terrifies an initially invisible danger from the depths of the sea: practically unknown and even thought to be extinct , but extremely aggressive goblin sharks , which - aided by the increased water level caused by the tsunami - hunt their now helpless victims. The situation is particularly dangerous for the lifeguards Barb, Chavez, Doug and Heather, who, trapped in a rescue station, have to come to terms with their merciless opponents and henceforth have to fight for survival.

reception

Shark Attack - you lurk in the deep! overall received rather below-average ratings, with particular criticism of the quality of the effects and animations as well as the simplicity and unpretentiousness of the film plot.

"Not only that there was apparently a smaller budget available and so the sharks are clearly digital in nature ... or the film is crammed with a lot of logic gaps and film errors, the plot, dialogues and above all the characters seem very half-baked [...] Lots of blood, lots of deaths, simple but solid splatter entertainment […] Especially due to the good speed, the flick should be enough for fans of undemanding but bloody entertainment. The successful beach atmosphere, which is skillfully created at the beginning with music and the tracking shots, contributes to the rest. For a ... good rating ... there is a lack of variety and, of course, a lot of depth. "

"With a little more budget and more believable sharks, the film could have been something, even the actors are still acceptable, but at best, trash fans ... get their money's worth."

The program magazine TV Spielfilm rated the film with a symbolic “thumbs down” without comment.
