Hickox borrows shamelessly from Jaws, Jurassic Park, and even the American Godzilla. Two surfers (Dax Miller, Matt Borlenghi), a female videographer (Katie Fischer), and a smarmy promoter (Joel West) come to the South Seas (gorgeously photographed by cinematographer Christopher C. Pearson) in order to shoot a video of "blood surfing," which basically means surfing with a great number of hungry sharks in the water. They survive the sharks, but when one of the toothy fish literally explodes in a geyser of gore, it becomes apparent that there is something far more dangerous lurking beneath the beautiful blue waves. The characters are chased through the water and the jungle and abducted by crazed locals with machine guns before finally coming face to face with the monstrous giant crocodile intent on making meals of them. There's also the requisite subplot involving a crusty former sea captain (Duncan Regehr) with a vendetta against the beast (which he doesn't live to settle), as well as vine-swinging, plenty of sex and gore, and one of the absolute worst puns of all time. Taryn Reif, Chris Vertido, and Susan Africa co-star. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Oh hey, a movie about stupid people getting eaten by sharks, cool... hey where did that giant saltwater crocodile come from? What the heck is this film about anyway? Does it even matter? Not really.

While it's not great it is FILLED with nudity.

Awful movie. With the bad script, the terrible special effects, the seen-it-before plot, and the awful acting, the movie sets itself up for failure. You can tell in some parts, the movie tries to be good, but it fails again and again. Then of course the hot boy has to save the day,… More

You can tell in some parts, the movie tries to be good, but it fails again and again. Then of course the hot boy has to save the day, what kind of cheesy horror film would it be if the hot boy wasn't able to save the helpless girls? Unoriginal and stupid, the film is not worth watching or even searching over the internet.

A pair of surfers go out to surf amongst the sharks as it will be mega coooool. However, it isn't the sharks they should be worried about. OMG! Blood Surf borders on parody at times, but doesn't really sink it's teeth into it's own campy charm until the end. The end sees two girls taunting a crocodile by brandishing their breasts and shouting "Fuck You". With the absolute heartlessness they shrug off the death of a friend, just because he was a coward (or smart) you have to wonder what effect the writers were aiming for. Some of the deaths are hilarious, the effects are hokey and it has an electric guitar surfer score, that fits the surfing but not the horror. Good stuff, if a little confused at times.

Just a cheap movie with cheap special effects and ordinary story... Even that, it's still a little working on me... I'm a little bit scared while watching this movie...

If this was a comedy I'd give it 4 stars. Pure trashy low budget fun....."You're luggage!!"
