RED WATER (2003)


RED WATER (2003)

This one is about a bull shark (that looks a LOT like a great white) that starts just killing everyone it can find in a Louisana river. If you know much about bull sharks, the fact that this one was in fresh water is not shocking they are actually the MOST likely to attack you in a river. Anyway there is a bit of a subplot here where a standard bad guy wants money that was thrown into the same river and now Coolio has to help him get it. Meanwhile John Sanders (Lou Diamand Phillips) and Dr. Kelli Raymond (Kristy Swanson – BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, DUDE WHERE’S MY CAR, BIG DADDY) were married but got a divorce and now have to work together on a project involving the EPA.

The most likable character in this movie is Emery (played by Rob Boltin – BONES, MENTAL) so I found myself rooting him on even as the sidekick. I am also a huge fan of Kristy Swanson’s so it was nice seeing her in this flick (oddly not her only shark movie, she was also in SWAMP SHARK). There is also some pretty funny dialog is you listen closely.  

You can catch this on NetFlix right now but I am not sure on the DVD availability since it was originally a TV movie much like SHARKNADO etc. In spite of some of the bad reviews this is actually probably in my top 10 of my “so bad it’s good shark movies” even though it’s obvious some of the ideas are ripped from other movies.
