Sharks in a Supermarket!

This is a real trailer for a real movie called Bait, which basically looks like Jaws. In a supermarket. Seriously.

One, please!

Huh? Didn't they do this movie a few years ago? Wasn't it called Deep Blue Sea?


No you don't understand. Deep Blue Sea was in a RESEARCH facility in the middle of the OCEAN. This takes place in a supermarket after a storm/tsunami/weird unexplainable weather event forced water into a supermarket where people are unable to get out and must make their way out of this building before they are eaten.

How do these things get made? Quality films like del Toro's At the Mountains of Madness may never see the light of day, but we get this... Hey Hollywood, I think I know why you don't make the kind of money you would like to make, and it has nothing to do with bit torrents or Red Box/Netflix renting movies and killing sales...

Seriously? You seriously don't know?

Because films like this are stupidly cheap to make, have virtually no marketing budget, and therefore recoup their cost via just rentals and people buying the DVDs in bargain bins. It's all a game of numbers, if you can do it for only $XX and it'll make $XXX dollars, you may proceed.

Things like the Mountains of Madness are big budget films, they are films that need to gross $500 million to make money (Yup, $500M on a budget of $150M, crazy the amount they spend on marketing and other crap, surely there's a better way!). Those types of film need to reach a BIG market to make their money back. Little crappy films like this need to only reach a tiny, tiny market to make their money back. And the 'it's so ridiculous it's entertaining' market is large enough to support a lot of these crapfests.

It's Jaws meets The Mist, who's related to The Perfect Storm, who introduces them all to Die Hard, who has a second cousin named Leviathan, who once threw up in the back of Avatar's car...

It is kinda of weird to me that you are using this Australian film as an indictment of Hollywood. When I hear "Hollywood" I think of the American film industry. If this film end up being released in the U.S., I would appreciate it if everyone just pretended I never made this comment...

I shudder to think this is Hollywood's answer to all the people like me complaining about remakes. I want original movies.....but not this.
