Haphazardly edited, abysmally performed, and featuring some stunningly atrocious visual effects, Chum more than lives up to its title.

For all its blood in the water, Chum rarely inspires fear.

Chum is so painful to watch that swimming with sharks sounds like a more enjoyable way to spend your time.

Like so many shark movies before it, Chum desperately wants to be jaws. Like so many shark movies before it, chum never even comes close.

Incompetence and AI-level FX aside there is something almost reassuring that films that feel 85% ADR’d like this can still exist to provide the unintentional laughter that purposefully bad films will never be able to replicate.

I truly don't know whether to tell you this movie is bad in a fun way or just plain bad, because I found the experience of watching it more puzzling than anything else.

Even for a bad movie, this is just horrible. Bad acting, bad dialogue. Couldn’t watch more than half an hour.

I understand that you need to adjust your expectations when watching a low budget shark movie. Even with that in mind this lacks any redeeming qualities. Would Not Recommend Avoid At All Costs

I could’ve used the money they had for this total complete cinematic diarrhea. Sorry diarrhea if I offended you.

Not sure how Alice Eve has fallen to making dreck like this. Dull with annoying characters and horrible dialogue interspersed with AI created footage of a shark biting human limbs off, not even Alice Eve's phenomenal cleavage can keep this interesting. As Adam West's Batman would tell Robin, avoid this one, old chum.
