A poor script ruins an otherwise good idea

Rating: 2/10 (26 April 2006)

'She Gods of Shark Reef' had more internal integrity than this well executed piece of dreck. No matter the acting, which was good; nor the cinematography, which was excellent; nor the direction, which seemed to be good; can save a bad script. The dialogue is nearly non-existent--Radha Mitchell spends a lot of time screaming, "Sharon!!"--and whenever a movie, almost without exception, needs to spend ten minutes (I am estimating, seemed like three days) in exposition to explain itself, there is something seriously lacking. The film should be able to explain itself.
Of course Laurie Holden looked great in her 'Frederick's of Hollywood' cop uniform--not to take from her talent, she did a good job with what she had; I am still looking for a hospital that has nurses that dress such as they did in this movie. Jodelle Ferland's Goth make-up and look is the best since Christina Ricci's some years ago. What was Sean Bean doing here? He had nothing to do. What a waste.
I have a question: When is the 'Other Side' going to improve its communications capabilities? Why is there so much interference with radios, phones, etc.? Perhaps we can start a Capital Campaign to raise money for microwave towers for the 'Other Side'?
