Bait

A freak tsunami hits a beachside supermarket in Australia, trapping a group of shoppers inside with a school of great white sharks. As the water level rises and the survivors fight for their lives, they must find a way to escape the deadly predators that now inhabit the flooded store.

Bait received a mixed to negative reception from critics, who often cited its predictable plot and formulaic approach to the creature feature genre. While some appreciated the practical effects and the creature's design, many found the film to be derivative and lacking in genuine suspense or originality.

• The film offers some inventive kills and creature effects but ultimately falls prey to a familiar and uninspired narrative.
• Despite a unique setting, Bait struggles to generate consistent thrills or a compelling story.
• While its premise is intriguing, the execution is often hampered by weak dialogue and underdeveloped characters.

Google audience: Audiences found the premise of sharks in a supermarket to be somewhat novel, but many felt the film failed to live up to its potential, criticizing the weak acting and predictable storyline.

The film was originally conceived as a 3D feature, with filming and post-production incorporating 3D elements, which contributed to its visual style.
