The 3D, too, is nothing groundbreaking - the shots of the shark gliding slowly toward camera and popping out of the screen are quite good (and won't be obnoxious in 2D), and director Kimble Rendall does a fine job of providing depth in the film's two main locales (the supermarket itself, and its even more flooded parking garage), but some shots also seemed like they were shot normally and post-converted - there was a "pop-up book" feel to them that I found distracting. Of course, if it was a mind-blowing, amazing and stunning piece of horror cinema history, it would be much more of a downer, but come on - it's a movie about sharks in a supermarket. I mean, I go out and support every one I can, but that's just one ticket, you know? Really wish horror fans could get it through their heads that the reason movies like this get such small releases is because they don't support the originals that DO go wide. Granted, the locale wasn't ideal, but it's still pretty pathetic that the one theater around showing this thing couldn't even fill up an entire row with the number of people attending one of its five daily shows on a weekend. Naturally, while I got the 3D version I couldn't get at home, there was no "crowd" to speak of - just two other people, one of whom remained stone cold silent throughout the film (me and the other guy laughed heartily at some of its more memorable moments). So despite having the Blu-ray sitting on my couch, I drove 40 minutes south to Torrance, which is depressingly the closest (only?) theater in Los Angeles county that is showing the film - Anchor Bay couldn't even get it at the Mann's, which is where a lot of their movies tend to play. ![]() ![]() ![]() After catching a press screening, my good friend Ryan Turek from Shock Till You Drop said that seeing Bait 3D with a crowd (and with its extra dimension intact, something I can't do at home) was the only way to go.
