Bait

A group of people are trapped in a supermarket after a tsunami hits their beachside town, cutting off their escape. As if the floodwaters weren't enough, they soon discover they are not alone. A school of great white sharks has been swept into the building, turning their fight for survival into a terrifying battle against nature's deadliest predators.

Bait 3D received generally negative reviews from critics, who often cited its predictable plot, weak character development, and reliance on jump scares. However, some audiences found enjoyment in its B-movie premise and the novelty of its 3D shark attack scenario.

• While the 3D shark-in-a-supermarket premise offered a novel hook, the execution was largely panned for its uninspired storytelling.
• Critics frequently pointed to a lack of originality and excessive reliance on clichés common in creature features.
• Despite the negative critical reception, some viewers appreciated its straightforward, action-packed approach to the disaster-horror genre.

Google audience: Google users largely found the film to be a predictable and uninspired horror flick, with many commenting on the weak plot and unconvincing special effects. While a small number of viewers enjoyed the novelty of the shark attack in an unusual setting, the overall sentiment was disappointment.

The film was originally conceived as a low-budget Australian creature feature, but the decision to film it in 3D significantly increased its production budget and marketing push.
