Saw says hello Jaws, what big teeth you have. All the better to eat you with Saw. So yeah they're trying to capture something with Saw and Jaws like tendencies. Those two movies are orders of magnitude better than this film. I mean Jaws has so much to offer as a movie even without the actual shark attack parts. The build up, the story, the characters, it's all there. Jaws is a really classic movie that should be experienced several times to fully appreciate it. The Saw movies are quite extraordinary in what they did too. Not quite up there with Jaws but as horror movies they were pretty good movies. You find yourself going hell yeah when someone gets it. It makes you feel something, even if it's only blood lust and revenge fantasies. This movie Blood in the Water is just appalling bad. It's an insult to Jaws and Saw to give it the tag line Jaws meets Saw or whatever it is they're claiming. It's dull as dishwater with some really bad acting. People just recite their lines with zero emotional content included. There are sections of swearing which do nothing to add drama or grit. It's like they couldn't think of coherent sentences to write so they filled it up with swearing. I just found the movie really lacking in any merit. There is nothing enjoyable about the film. It's really not worth your time to watch this film.
