“A Tsunami Just Flipped The Foodchain.”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 65, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
A tsunami floods a supermarket and traps its occupants with a great white shark. The disaster-movie coincidences are plentiful, but the everyday location gives the creature encounters a clear spatial joke. A useful shark-night pick when the group wants something more contained than another open-water chase.
