A Guilty Pleasure. ⭐⭐

Avalanche Sharks 2014 is just a silly movie. Technically all shark movies are silly in that they do not reflect the lives of real sharks. But I need to make a distinction because the whole movie with or without sharks is silly. It has a weird back story that your ordinary movie viewer will think is a waste of time. But I am picking by the fact that you’re still reading is that you are that person who likes their entertainment divorced from reality and want the movie’s premise to succeed. In this mindset, I love this movie. It is a guilty pleasure although that pleasure did diminish a bit on a recent rewatch. I couldn't get past the fact that there was no suspense or tension at all, and I didn't empathise with the characters. On the plus side it was only about 19 seconds into the movie before we saw the first attack but on the negative side it was about 47 minutes before the threat was realised by any one in authority. The movie was 80 minutes long and stuffed full of stock ski resort footage. The  whole thing was badly edited. I demand a remake directed by Denis Villeneuve he would know how to turn this guilty pleasure into an epic guilty pleasure.
