![]() Stelio Candelli as Rosentski's Enforcerįilming took place in the Dominican Republic.David abhors firearms but has no objections to fighting back using bladed weapons, booby traps, molotov cocktails and his shark, Cyclops. Rosentski's enforcer, however, wants the diamonds for himself and leads an assassination squad against David. Rosentski promises he will pay off Liz's considerable business debts as well as reward her if she recovers the disc and diamonds. He correctly surmises that James had gone to hide with his brother David and arranges a meeting with David's ex-wife, Liz. ![]() Rosentski is displeased with his enforcer's jumping the gun. ![]() The plane explodes, while James survives just long enough to hand over the disc and the diamonds to David. James Ziegler crash lands in a seaplane near David's shack. David lives with his friend and business partner Paco and has a seagoing neighbor, a man-eating shark named Cyclops. Ziegler goes to hide out with his brother David, who lives as a beach bum and shark hunter on the coast outside of Cancún.

Rosentski decides to pay Ziegler for the disc but instead sends his enforcer to retrieve it. Shark Night 3D Production: A Relativity Media release of a Rogue, Incentive Filmed Entertainment, Sierra Pictures presentation of a Next Films, Silverwood Films production. His dream finally comes through when he records a sensitive conversation between Rosentski and the President of the United States so sensitive that he demands $2 million in diamonds from Rosentski for a disc of the recording. While that might create a terrifying creature feature for our enjoyment, we can at least find relief that there is a very, very, very low chance of a shark attack happening in a lake.James Ziegler has spent five years of his life planning the perfect crime, bugging the communication devices of Rosentski, an influential and rich businessman. Given the premise of the movie has no basis in a real-life event - and the villain's explicit revelation that he got the idea from watching Shark Week - it seems likely Shark Night is more about taking the massive popularity of Discovery's shark-filled week of programming and exaggerating it to the point of horror. Still, there's no particular incident on which Shark Night is based. Fun fact: Bull sharks can be found in lakes because they're able to survive in both fresh and saltwater, according to Shark Savers in addition to Lake Pontchartrain, bull sharks have been seen in the Mississippi River, the Illinois River, and Lake Michigan. Plus, a bull shark was caught in the same lake earlier in 2016 according to WGNO. Most fatal shark attacks occur in the ocean, though there was a story of a boy attacked by a shark in Lake Pontchartrain in 2014 as reported by USA Today. Thankfully, from what I could tell researching fatal shark attacks, there hasn't been a single one in a lake. But, other than Shark Week, does Shark Night have any real-life inspiration? It's later revealed that the sharks were put into the lake on purpose and those who filled a saltwater lake with sharks were inspired by Discovery's Shark Week. But, since this is a horror movie, it isn't long before the titular sharks come calling - yes, even though they're on a lake - terrorizing the teenagers and picking our heroes off one by one. In typical horror movie fashion, the film starts off with a group of rambunctious college students heading out to one girl, Sara's, family vacation home that sits on the edge of a private lake. But I have to wonder: Is Shark Night a true story? From what I can tell, Shark Night isn't based on a real event, but it does take some inspiration from real life.įirst off, let's recap exactly what Shark Night is all about. One particular addition to the lineup is 2011 horror movie Shark Night. Sharknado: The 4th Awakens is almost upon us - yes, Syfy most definitely did make a fourth installment in this particular B-movie franchise and, yes, I will be tuning in to live-tweet the heck out of it - which means Syfy has had a whole week of shark attack-related programming geared up for fans.
