When a wealthy and predominant family inherits a beautiful historic home in a tiny Portuguese village, local superstition claims that they have also inherited a deadly curse in director Tiago Guedes' atmospheric frightener. Dr. Monteiro has always given his wife and children the very best that money can buy, but after inheriting a sprawling estate in the countryside he ignores their pleas to sell it for a profit and instead decides to move the family in. It doesn't take long for the family to realize that the superstitious locals view the house as cursed, and as a series of ominous events begin to unfold it becomes frighteningly apparent that there may be some element of truth to the dreadful rumors. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

A school of ravenous tiger sharks turn a spring break celebration into a frenzied bloodbath, and the only way to survive is to stay away from the beach in a sun-soaked tale of iron-jawed terror starring Shannon Lucio, Kathy Baker, Riley Smith, and Bryan Brown. The hard-partying college coeds aren't the only ones hitting the Florida beach this spring break, and as the keg gets tapped and the beer begins to flow, a school of hungry tiger sharks prepares to move in for the kill. With a virtual buffet of tasty teenage flesh to satisfy their bottomless appetites, the crafty, water-bound killers soon commence to turning the blue waters of the beach blood red. Now forced to fight for their lives against an unrelenting onslaught of unimaginable horror, a group of desperate coeds attempts to put their higher education to the test and outsmart nature's perfect predator. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

A treacherous Louisiana river is the setting where divorced couple Sanders (Lou Diamond Philips) and Kelly (Kristy Swanson) forget their differences long enough to search for a new source of energy. The couple is joined -- and later waylaid -- by a pair of crooks named Ice (Coolio) and Jerry (Jaimz Woolvett), who are convinced that a cache of stolen loot rests somewhere at the bottom of the river. Before long, everyone is in danger of being sliced and diced by a rogue freshwater shark. Another of the several million Jaws derivations glutting the cable TV airwaves, Red Water at the very least boasts excellent animatronic special effects -- not to mention a dead-body count that would shame a Rambo or Terminator. The film debuted August 17, 2003, on TBS. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
