positive · AI labelView post →I think there's likely a better RPG scenario in The Black Demon than there was a film.

negative · AI labelView post →Watched The Black Demon. It's genuinely sad when i look back on Meg 2 Trench and say, at least you were aware of how stupid you are as a giant killer shark movie. This is just dreadful with it's acting, story and especially the CG.
negative · AI labelView post →The Black Demon was fine, but weird to cash in on it's name. Is this movie well known? I only have seen it because I watch every shark movie, regardless of quality.
neutral · AI labelView post →#Horror365Challenge 5/365 The Black Demon (2023) Ironic that this film features a megalodon, yet my main complaint is "not enough shark."
neutral · AI labelView post →This was the worst/most boring ass shark movie ever, and going batshit sideways with it is fine, I guess. I just assume the IP is just getting stiched onto the Black Demon name cause it makes no damn sense within the original movies universe. #mutantfan ##horrorsky

neutral · AI labelView post →305. THE BLACK DEMON (A. Grünberg, 2023) Seven movies in, and this is the third shark movie. It is my favorite genre
positive · AI labelView post →Aw, come on. It's not that bad! It's just a poor cousin of one of the "Meg" movies, only with Josh Lucas trying to save the day rather than Jason Statham. He finds himself and his family trapped on a dilapidated oil rig off Baja, where they discover that a creature with a fin the size of a tennis court is marauding and it's peckish. Once safely ensconced on the installation, "Paul" discovers that most of the crew have skedaddled and those left are petrified of our huge great sea beastie. Worse…

negative · AI labelView post →I'm watching "The Black Demon" which is about people trapped on an oil rig with a giant shark circling and I love how ignoring environmental concerns is blamed for a megalodon attacking because ignoring environmental issues would be expected to cause a giant extinct shark to attack. Like this guy is shitty but... you don't expect being shitty is going to lead to a giant shark murdering everyone on the oil rig. That isn't reasonable. #TheBlackDemon
