Flawed Fun, 24 January 2004
Author: Brandt Sponseller from New York City

The premise (modified from the box description): Follow an MTV style filmmaker as she and her crew shoot an expose of the latest, most dangerous craze in extreme sports-bloodsurfing, or surfing in shark infested waters while intentionally trying to attract the creatures. While trying to shoot in Australia, the crew encounters non-cooperative locals and various kinds of relationship problems. They also get more than they bargained for while bloodsurfing in an isolated location. Not only are the sharks putting them at risk, but there just may be a legendary monster in the water.

'Mish-mash' describes this film better than such a non-technical term should. The premise is a mish-mash of Lake Placid, Anaconda, and tens of other monster films, with some touches of adventure and romance thrown in for (good?) measure. The quality of the film is a mish-mash of a too-confusing script with more than its share of holes, some pretty hokey dialogue, and some decent direction, editing and performances, with surprisingly good cinematography, occasional moments of tension, and the requisite beautiful actresses.

The biggest problems seem to arise from the script, which isn't very straightforward about what bloodsurfing is, why it is popular, what the relationships are among the principle characters, who some later characters are and why they are taking the actions they're taking. Still, the premise is easy enough to figure out after a few minutes, and the potential of the story, if not quite its execution, is intriguing enough. Horror fans who don't mind films with fairly transparent influences and who can be forgiving of some fairly obvious mechanical beasts and miniatures should find enough redeeming aspects to keep them entertained for 87 minutes.

The DVD released in 2001 by Trimark contains two special features--about six or seven minutes of raw footage, which is interesting if you are a intrigued with the mechanics of film-making, but which could benefit from some commentary, and storyboards for a few scenes that are accessible while the film is playing the relevant chapters.
