Trailer for the Chinese Remake of Blade Lively's Shark Attack Thriller THE SHALLOWS
The first trailer has dropped for the Chinese remake of Jaume Collet-Serra and Blake Lively’s shark attack thriller The Shallows.
Like the original 2016 American horror movie, it tells “the story of a girl who loves extreme sports. When she comes to the beach alone to surf, she’s attacked by a giant shark.”
According to the The Arty Dans review, this film comes with a little sci-fi twist: “Like the Chinese remake of Sharktopus that used the creature and military weapon concept but created an original story, this movie does the same – keeping the elements of the shark and the survival component but adding in a sci-fi twist about Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality.
“Clocking in at 73 minutes, there is entertainment a-plenty in this title, with a rather bloodthirsty opening 20 or so minutes as our doctor is repeatedly killed by the shark.
“The movie gets a little philosophical towards the middle, well about as philosophical as a Chinese web movie could get, which makes for a rather drab middle third, but picks up the pace when the shark is re-introduced into the movie.”
The film comes from director Banchang Xia’s The Shallows and it stars Xiaoyun Chen, Sinan Li, and Sen Wang.
Watch the trailer below. There’s no word on when it will be released in the US.
