Bait

Writen by The Movie Mob on October 21, 2022

**Bait isn't groundbreaking or particularly impressive but slightly edges out typical low-budget shark flicks with a creative setting.** Bait's concept and setting bear similarities to 2019's alligator thriller Crawl. A tsunami traps a small band of survivors in a flooded underground supermarket with hungry man-eating great whites. The quality doesn't rise to the level of The Shallows or Crawl, but it's pretty solid for a non-Hollywood 3D low-budget film. I was expecting a goofy shark film with dreadful performances (which I love) and was surprised by something a little better. Don't get me wrong, it isn't a gold standard for anything, but in a subgenre built on low-budget cheesiness, Bait shows a little more effort than most.
