No matter how bad DARK TIDE ultimately proves to be – and let’s face it, it looks pretty bad – Halle Berry can always take solace in knowing if she hadn’t done the film, she may have never met her new beau, Olivier Martinez. Triumph from tragedy…we should all be so lucky!
Anyway, a new clip from DARK TIDE has appeared over at Movieweb. We’ve embedded it below, but beware, it’s pretty uneventful. I suppose suspense is the goal, but killer shark films will always live in the shadow of JAWS, and unless it offers something wildly new, nothing will ever seem all that fresh. The clip below feels certainly that way.
Hitting VOD March 8th before its March 30th theatrical run – DARK TIDE revolves around:
Kate, a shark expert whose business has been failing ever since a shark attack killed a fellow diver under her command. Once dubbed “the shark whisperer,” Kate is haunted by the memory of the attack and unable to get back into the water. With bills piling up and the bank about to foreclose on Kate’s boat, Kate’s old flame Jeff presents her with a lucrative opportunity: lead a thrill-seeking millionaire businessman on a dangerous shark dive…outside the cage. Battling her self-doubts and fear, Kate accepts the proposal — and sets a course for the world’s deadliest feeding ground: Shark Alley.
Ralph Brown, Adi Shankar, Luke Tyler, Thoko Ntshinga, Sizwe Msutu and Mark Elderkin also appear in the film.
