Well, with this 2004 movie "Blue Demon" being a shark movie, of course I have to watch it, because there is just something fascinating about sharks as silent predators.
Turns out that "Blue Demon" by director Daniel Grodnik was by no means the next "Jaws". But it was still actually sort of entertaining enough for what it turned out to be. You just have to keep in mind that this is not a spectacular creature feature by any means.
The concept of the storyline here is very, very generic. And I mean to the point of where it borders on being ridiculous. The government training and genetically manipulating sharks... Now haven't we seen this before? Maybe years earlier in a bigger budget movie than "Blue Demon"?
"Blue Demon" had three familiar actors and actresses on the cast list, and those were Danny Woodburn, Christina Lakin and of course Jeff Fahey. Yeah, not really the top list of celebrities, huh? But still, you know what you get when you sit down to watch a movie such a this.
The movie is also as predictable as it can possibly be. You know exactly what will happen, and director doesn't deviate from that particular predictable path, not even once. So don't expect to be surprised or blown out of the water - pardon the pun.
If you enjoy shark movies, then "Blue Demon" is a somewhat less than mediocre addition to the genre. Sure, it is watchable for what it turned out to be, just don't get your hopes up for anything grand. It is the type of movie that you watch once, then never again.
