Stop me if you've heard this before...
A group of college teens, all good looking, and with a few secret crushes on each other, head out to the wilds for a weekend of fun.

Yep, it's all been done before hasn't it?
But Shark Night is determined to give the formula another shot - Sara Paxton stars as Sarah Palski, who's left her small town behind her to head to college. Gathering up a group of her mates, they all head back to the small town to enjoy a weekend by the lake.
Only when Sara gets there - along with her college pals - they're soon the target of sharks and shark lovers who are determined to kill them off and put their deaths on the internet.
Shark Night starts off predictably and does exactly what you'd expect of a good looking teen cast - there's plenty of shots underwater of the bikini babes to start off with - but a little further into the story, those in charge take it off in a direction that you wouldn't expect.
It's a nice twist - and for that, those in charge should be praised; but it can't really save the film from the mire of predictability; to be fair though, you know most of what you're letting yourself in for and the 3D push with sharks exploding and bits flying everywhere works reasonably well in the format.
