To celebrate the home entertainment release of the nail-biting terrifying thriller Shark Bait, we have a copy of the DVD up for grabs courtesy of Altitude!
Shark Bait is being released on DVD, on altitude.film and other digital platforms from 6th June.
This edge-of-your-seat nerve-shredder, from the producers of 47 Metres Down, Attack The Block and Boss Level, sees a group of spring-breakers being terrorised by a fearsome predator off the coast of Mexico. Director James Nunn delivers an adrenaline rush of a film packed with seriously intense set pieces, with a taut, twisting script from Nick Saltrese (who wrote the acclaimed and award-winning prison boxing film A Prayer Before Dawn). We dare you to watch it with your toes on the floor!
The fantastic cast includes Holly Earl (from the TV series Humans), Catherine Hannay (Doctors), and Malachi Pullar-Latchman (soon to be seen as D’Artagnan in The Three Musketeers), who discover,...

It doesn’t help that there is more charisma in the shark’s cold dead eye than in the entire cast
“Tyler, no! You took a bang to the head!” “That might be a problem if there was something inside of there!” So goes an almighty self-own when one of five spring-breakers trapped on a jetski in shark-infested waters decides to swim for help in this depressingly unimaginative thriller. The party posse-cum-human chum bucket in this carnivorous outing are so moronic that the intro in which they twerk, chug beers and hijack motorised watercraft while roaring “Ride or die!” resembles the legendary Zoolander petrol fight without the satire.
In answer to their war-cry, they mostly die. After sensibly playing jetski chicken, the fatuous five find themselves crammed on a single stalled machine drifting out to sea – and Greg (Thomas Flynn) has a broken leg. Tensions rise when it turns out...

Mimicking the infamous Jaws poster, complete with Megalodon-sized shark about to chomp on an unsuspecting female swimmer, poster artwork for director James Nunn’s Jetski – renamed Shark Bait – offers up exactly as it says in its new title, complete with Noughties-style effects. Fans of shark thrillers will be pleasantly entertained by it, but do not expect anything more innovative to reinvigorate the genre, first born out of Steven Spielberg’s iconic 1976 film.
A bunch of carefree teens – Nat (Holly Earl), Tom (Jack Trueman), Milly (Catherine Hannay), Tyler (Malachi Pullar-Latchman) and Greg (Thomas Flynn) – are on their spring break weekend at a unidentified Spanish-speaking location. After a night of drinking and partying they continue their fun by jumping on two parked jetskis in the early hours, long before opening time and with none of the seaside residents up and around to witness their hedonistic act.

Shark movies. What to say about the genre? Well, one thing you can say is that genre films featuring sharks terrorising humans are certainly prolific in their production, it feels like every month we get another shark movie of some kind. However, at this rate, there’s not many stories left to tell about shark versus man so filmmakers need the extra special something to make their movie stand out… So what does Shark Bait offer?
Well for a start it comes from director James Nunn, the British filmmaker behind a slew of great low-budget action movies over the years. He originally exploded on the scene with 2012’s Tower Block, before helming the likes of Green Street 3, Eliminators and One Shot, all starring Scott Adkins; as well as lensing The Marine...

It opens with a camera creeping across a reef as the credits roll. No bright colours here, just darkness and a sense that something dangerous might be lurking nearby. Then up and out of the water, onto a beach where fires are burning and young people are laughing and sharing music. It’s a tribute to Jaws by someone who has actually paid attention, and it’s the only moment of homage in a film which is otherwise determined to stand on its own two feet. Despite the limited framework which a serious approach to the genre affords, writer Nick Saltrese and director James Nunn set out to tell a fresh story.
Any fresh shark story needs fresh meat. In this case it’s a group of young people enjoying their last spring break before graduation. There’s Nat, whose small size and natural wariness make her...

"What's it doing?" "Circling us." Vertical Entertainment has revealed the official trailer for Shark Bait, formerly known as just Jetski, a horror thriller shark movie set in Mexico. Yet another of these "haven't we seen this before?" stuck-on-the-water shark movies (also see: The Requin). This has been set for release in May in just a few weeks, which is why they're pushing everything right now to build up some hype. A group of friends enjoying a weekend steal a couple of jetskis racing them out to sea, ending up in a horrific head-on collision. They struggle to find a way back after the accident with a badly injured friend, then end up drifting into dangerous territory where predators lurk below the surface. This "British sharksploitation" film stars Holly Earl, Jack Trueman, Catherine Hannay, Malachi Pullar-Latchman, & Thomas Flynn.

Directed by James Nunn, best known for British thriller “Tower Block” (2012) and actioner “Eliminators” (2016), the film follows a group of spring-breakers enjoying a weekend in Mexico. After a big night of partying on the beach until dawn, the friends steal a couple of jetskis and take them out to sea, but end up in a horrific head-on collision.

Simon Rumley (director of Red, White & Blue, Fashionista & Crowhurst) has begun a six week shoot on the brutal gangster thriller Once Upon a Time in London – for Gateway Films – which dramatises the violent reign of two of London’s most notorious gangsters, Billy Hill (Leo Gregory) and Jack ‘Spot’ Comer (Terry Stone), charting the legendary rise and fall of a nationwide criminal empire that lasted until the mid-fifties and which paved the way for the notorious Kray Twins and The Richardsons.
Director and co-writer Simon Rumley commented:
Having spent the last decade or so writing and directing thematically disparate but collectively extreme dramas, it makes absolute sense for me to progress to the gangster genre where love, lust, greed, paranoia, betrayal and violence are every day occurrences.

Dracula is one of the most prolific, some would say overused, characters in fiction – from literature, to theatre, to cinema and television, Dracula has been one of The most re-interpreted horror monsters. Be it the well-loved Hammer movies, the silent black and white vampire of Nosferatu or more modern takes such as Francis Ford Coppola’s gothic take on the character, Dracula is often seen as one of the go-to horror icons. The character has even inspired a whole genre of vampire movies that, whilst not utilising the official moniker, are clearly influenced by Bram Stoker’s novella – and Dracula: The Dark Prince is no different.

The episode begins with the Doctor (Matt Smith) on a spaceship (nothing new) which is exploding around him. 'Intruder alert' sounds and the Doctor in yet more mayhem, as he reaches for the spacesuit and can't get hold of it. He drops from the ship and freefalls behind the suit, finally catching up to it and putting it on before he reaches Earth. This episode was anything but chaos, aside from the opening; it was more serene, appropriate for the time of year. The Doctor is found in the field by a woman, he thinks he's blind, but he's got his helmet on the wrong way round. The woman returns home and gives a message to her son, Cyril (Maurice Cole) for their father. She thinks she's found an angel in the field and she's taking the car.

Man, it feels like it’s been a while even though “The Wedding of River Song”, the last episode of the sixth season of Doctor Who aired in October. And it looks like it’s going to be a long time before the seventh season airs in both the United Kingdom and the United States — in late 2012, if we’re led to believe — and with less Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill). Things are a-changing in the Tardis.
In the meantime, Steven Moffat and company were kind enough to churn out another Christmas special — entitled “The Doctor, The Widow, and The Wardrobe” — to tidy us over until next Fall. And while the episode wasn’t as masterful as last year’s “A Christmas Carol” — It Starred Michael “Professor Dumbledore” Gambon For Goodness’ Sake! — it still packed an emotional wallop that was on par with many of...

In the meantime, Steven Moffat and company were kind enough to churn out another Christmas special — entitled “The Doctor, The Widow, and The Wardrobe” — to tidy us over until next Fall. And while the episode wasn’t as masterful as last year’s “A Christmas Carol” — It Starred Michael “Professor Dumbledore” Gambon For Goodness’ Sake! — it still packed an emotional wallop that was on par with many of...

One of the many good things about the revival of "Doctor Who" is that it has also revived the show's Christmas special -- and that for the past two years, we actually get to see it on Christmas in the United States as fans do in the U.K.
Sunday's special is called "The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe," which takes its inspiration from C.S. Lewis and finds the Doctor (Matt Smith) -- or the Caretaker, as he's calling himself for the time being -- in World War II England, taking care of an abandoned old mansion.
Into that house come Madge Arwell (Claire Skinner) and her children Lily (Holly Earl) and Cyril (Maurice Cole), evacuated from London. The Doctor tries to make it the best Christmas he can for them -- but his gift leads the kids into a magical, and possibly dangerous, world.

Every since the return of Doctor Who in 2005, we have been given a bright, gaily wrapped Christmas present in the form of a special Doctor Who episode celebrating the holiday season. In 2005, there was “The Christmas Invasion”; in 2006, there was “The Runaway Bride”; in 2007, there was “Voyage of the Damned”; in 2008, there was “The Next Doctor”; in 2009 there was “The End of Time”; in 2010, there was “A Christmas Carol” and this year, it is “The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe.”
Just like last year’s whimsical look at the meaning of Christmas in “A Christmas Carol,” this year’s episode is another chance to travel back into our childhoods and revisit a time when life was simpler, more colorful and full of magic.
In 1938, after a young widow (Claire Skinner) comes to the aid of The Doctor (Matt Smith), he promises her a Christmas wish. Three years later, as...

Madge Arwell and her two children, Lily and Cyril, arrive in Dorset in1941.
There’s less than a month until the next Doctor Who Christmas special airs. Entitled “The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe”, the annual event will broadcast on Christmas Day.
The stand-alone story, written by showrunner Steven Moffat and directed by Farren Blackburn, riffs on the C.S. Lewis fantasy. The Doctor (Matt Smith) plays the role of caretaker of a big old house in Dorset, England in 1941.
Madge Arwell, played by Claire Skinner, is a widow. She and her two young children, Lily (Holly Earl) and Cyril (Maurice Cole), have been evacuated to the house from London and arrive to find a big blue box under the tree.
The mysterious box is a portal of sorts, not unlike Lewis’ wardrobe.
Other guest stars include comedian Bill Bailey and Arabella Weir who play what appear to be space marines.

Doctor Who Christmas! The Widow & the Wardrobe Teasers
It feels like forever since I last got my Doctor Who fix, so finding these new promo images for the upcoming Christmas Special, “The Doctor, The Widow & the Wardrobe”, was just the hit I needed to keep me going for a few more weeks. The episode will feature a widow and her two children as they relocate to Dorset during World War II. It’s in Dorset that they meet the Doctor and have themselves an adventure unlike any other. Despite the danger that usually comes with the Doctor’s presence, I still count them as being incredibly lucky. I wish I could go on an adventure with the Doctor.
We should all send BBC Christmas cards for giving us these stellar images, featuring the Doctor (Matt Smith) plus the widow, Madge (Claire Skinner) and her children, Lily (Holly Earl) and Cyril...
