Review of Swim

Swim (I) (2021)
2/10
Do not watch this sober.
12 November 2023
A family travel to a dream (nightmare) holiday shack, and get stalked by a psychotic shark.

If you're having a couple of large vodkas, you may just find this amusing enough, you know it's doing to be shocking, it's genuinely worse than that, it's terrible.

The shark itself is an amusing chap, and those CGI special effects belong in the late 1990's.

It is one of those that's so awful, that in a cringey way you will want to watch it, for a morbid curiosity.

Some rudimentary basics are a little confused here, including the ages of the main characters, the mother is to young, and the doddery old father is hilarious, a shame they didn't give him an ear trumpet and a paisley blanket.

When the daughter is screaming our the word shark, nobody else is remotely bothered, the mother is more concerned with her parcel, it's hilarious.

Some of the acting, it's what I can only describe as porn movie acting, personified beautifully by the dishy Mr Randolph, all he needed was a boiler suit.

Jaws fans, do not watch it, you'll weep.

2/10.
