QUICK TAKE:
Horror: Various college friends travel to a lakeside cottage but must contend with deranged locals and the man-eating sharks they've unleashed into the water.
PLOT:
Louisiana college football star Malik (SINQUA WALLS) is so excited about the good grades that he got with help from his tutor, Nick (DUSTIN MILLIGAN), that he informs him and that pre-med student's roommate, Gordon (JOEL DAVID MOORE), that he's taking them on a little vacation to the lakeside cottage owned by the parents of his college friend Sara (SARA PAXTON). Joining them is Malik's girlfriend, Maya (ALYSSA DIAZ); art class model Blake (CHRIS ZYLKA); and Sara's far wilder friend, Beth (KATHARINE McPHEE), who thinks Sara and Nick should hook up.

After a run-in with Sara's ex-boyfriend, Dennis (CHRIS CARMACK), and his redneck buddy, Red (JOSHUA LEONARD), the college students arrive on the remote Lake Crosby island where Sara's longtime acquaintance, Sheriff Sabin (DONAL LOGUE), welcomes them and tells them to have a good time. But that bliss doesn't last long as Malik is attacked by a shark in the large saltwater lake and loses an arm. Desperate for help, Sara, Nick and Maya try to boat him off to the closest hospital, but another shark attack derails their efforts, returning most of them to the cottage.

From that point on, the college students must not only contend with what turns out to be multiple sharks in the water, but also the deranged locals who've stocked the lake with them.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
If they're into movies about sharks or horror flicks where young people are hunted down by some sort of killer, and/or might be fans of someone in the cast, they could be interested.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13
For violence and terror, disturbing images, sexual references, partial nudity, language and thematic material.
