Shark Season (2020)

Shark Season (2020)

Three kayakers sail onto a remote artificial island for a photo shoot but find themselves trapped by a wayward shark intent on munching bikini-clad ladies. While they argue about their poor choices, the father of one of the ladies uses every contact to help find her before the sea swallows them up. While it may not be a mockbuster, this is an Asylum film with its random celebrity casting, minimal sets, and terrible CGI. The plot pretty much follows many other shark films, so there is little to expect as the stranded cast tries to find help amidst their bickering and idiotic decisions. There were moments in the movie when I was cheering on the shark as the two ladies were insufferable. Michael Madsen is top-billed, and his role must have been filmed remotely as he spends most of the movie behind a computer frantically calling emergency services. The film's poster states the film is based on actual events, so I imagine idiots getting trapped by sharks is something that does occur.
