    I had a lot of thoughts to touch upon after watching this but it’s much more satisfying to just say every aspect of this was absolutely fucking terrible.

    How is this a Ben Wheatley movie with Jason Statham and 3 giant sharks yet it manages to have a skull-fornicating boring first 90 minutes?

    Like watching a shoddy print of a third sequel Italian film trying to shoehorn itself in as a sequel to an American film that is so poorly edited it’s incomprehensible.

    Touch of Satan is at least coherent. I swear they inadvertently edited out the deaths here.

    Garbage.

    It’s really not a knock but this movie has all the tone of Smile and if it had any of that camp it would have been so much better. Instead it decides to be deadly serious throughout and it makes it so uninteresting. 

    Not everything is “elevated horror”.

    Haven’t seen this one since I was about 11 so we all know why I was tuning in. That and Bob the Goon was in it. I remember liking it and for what it is it somewhat holds up. It delivers on the sleaze and it’s only real sin is being completely predictable.

    That clown mask scares me and it really shouldn’t.
