A group of scientists in a remote underwater complex find a way to make sharks more dangerous by enlarging their brains and they manage to annoy them by trying to extract cancer battling enzymes. The sharks attack during a storm and throw the facility into chaos as they hunt down the people trapped inside. This is action packed stuff with a good cast and quality direction, it´s daft but it´s also quite fun and despite being very predictable it is a fairly enjoyable popcorn movie. It doesn´t offer much in the way of horror but there are touches of comedy and plenty of thrills. This film also features one of my favourite shocking death scenes.
