 Shark Night
David Bruce, Webmaster It's the dog days of summer, when smaller films get a chance after all the blockbusters have run their course... and surprise! This one is actually NOT rated R... though the dog days are still the dog days. And in true horror style fashion, things turn out well in the end even though things are pretty rough along the way. You can indeed overcome your worst fears!
