The worst thing I can think to say about any killer shark movie is that it has no personality, but that’s the situation here, Maneater a flesh-eating nightmare of aquatic monotony.

Rated: 1/4

Los Angeles Times

By the end, “Maneater” has walked right up to the edge of being a fun, silly, “so bad it’s good” time-killer. But after taking way too long, it never really arrives there.

Even as a guilty pleasure, Maneater is a particularly rough watch.

Rated: 0.5/5

Despite a few shocking kills, there’s little in this fish film to make anyone scared to go back into the water.

Rated: D

Caution Spoilers

Not a good film — with limited, repetitive shark footage and often lazy writing — though there’s a good turn from Trace Adkins as hoary old sea dog Harlan.

Rated: 2/5

The Friendship Dilemma Podcast

The filmmaking and special effects are so bad that it is hard to tell whether this falls into the woefully insincere Sharknado camp or the kind of awful movie classic that audiences gather around on their own Satellite of Love.

Rated: 1/4

Vapid. Dull. Lifeless. Terrible acting, writing, special effects, and an overall terrible execution of just another drop in the ocean of killer shark movies.

Silly movie. Jaws ripoff. Too much character development. Horrible acting. Lousy effects. Avoid at all costs!

There are exactly two elements of this movie that are partially worthwhile. One is the ghastly special effects which are the cheesiest this side of SHARKNADO. And the other is an equally ghastly performance by Trace Adkins who recites his lines like Sam Elliott on Prozac. All other elements are equally atrocious but not in such a fun way. The cardinal sin, like most movies like this, is that there isn't a single moment of inspiration or originality. In fact, the final line is such a blatant rip-off of JAWS that Spielberg should sue. My recommendation is to simply read the plot synopsis above and then move on with your life - or better yet, find a DVD of JAWS. Or even JAWS 2. Or maybe even JAWS 3. But not JAWS THE REVENGE. Let's not push it.

This movie was so bad it was unintentionally hilarious. Watched with my mum and we were pissing ourselves laughing basically the whole way through. Haven't laughed about a movie like that in a long time so that makes it a 5 star for me!! BONUS: I like blueberry pancakes too

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
