Having Spielberg’s monster masterpiece JAWS chomping at the future of any shark-infested thriller since 1975, it must be tough for a film with a ‘big fish’ in their plot, disregarding the Tim Burton tale, of course! Along the way, many have tried but all have failed to even match it. Sadly, the last film to feature such an idea was the dire SHARK NIGHT 3D, an absolute shocker and I don’t mean it in chills or thrills.
Hopefully BAIT, another 3D adventure, with a blood-thirsty great white shark will wipe any memory of that atrocity. THN has the new red-band trailer and official plot synopsis for the impressive, albeit cheesy looking thriller, that co-stars CHRONICLE’s Alex Russell and FANTASTIC FOUR’s Julian McMahon. Kimble Rendall will direct, take a look and let us know what you think!
Plus, your official synopsis:
Torn apart by a tragic accident, former couple Josh (Xavier Samuel) and Tina (Sharni Vinson) come face to face in a supermarket for the first time since their break up a year earlier. The awkward encounter comes moments before a robbery takes place; and then the unimaginable occurs, a tsunami swallows the sleepy beach community.
Josh and Tina find themselves in a desperate situation, trapped in the underground supermarket along with other survivors from the store with no escape. Rushing water quickly floods the supermarket threatening to entomb them in a watery grave. Before long the survivors discover they are not alone, the tsunami has brought unwanted visitors from the depths. The survivors quickly realise their battle is not only to overcome the threat of drowning and the predator within their midst, but a threat far more sinister — hungry great white sharks.
Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
