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.

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.

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

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.

1/4

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.

Maneater (2022) Jaws Rip Off (12,810 – 04 Nov 2026 – Claudio Carvalho) In Hawaii, Harlan (Trace Adkins) loses his daughter when she is slaughtered by a white shark and he seeks revenge. Meanwhile, Jessie Quinn (Nicky Whelan), who was dumped by her husband-to-be, travels with six friends since the excursions have been already paid for her honeymoon. They hire the catamaran of the nice Captain Jack (Ray Fite) and his wife Beth (Kim DeLonghi), and he takes the group to a paradisiacal island. But the shark has followed them and begins a crime spree. "Maneater" (2022) is an American film that is "Jaws" rip off. The plot has a shallow story and is dedicated to the attacks of the shark to the group of friends. The plot has nothing special but entertains. My vote is five. Title (Brazil): "Terror no Oceano" ("Terror in the Ocean")

I like to watch these bad shark movies but this one is boring even in this genre. Just lame from start till end.

I had higher hopes for this, as the opening scenes weren’t too bad. However, the ending is so weak, the script so pathetic, and the acting, particularly lead blonde…..woeful! Don’t bother!
