SHARK NIGHT 3D Loses its Bite with a PG-13 Rating
On September 2nd, instead of seeing lakes full of blood, hearing “F” bombs, and witnessing beautiful girls dropping their tops, we will get a much more watered down version of Shark Night 3D. The David R. Ellis (Snakes on a Plane, Final Destination) fright flick swims into theaters on September 2 in an attempt to beat out competition with November’s Piranha 3DD. Yet, that film will have the teeth to sink into fans. It was just announced that Shark Night will be released with a PG-13 rating for violence and terror, disturbing images, sexual references, partial nudity, language and thematic material. I’m not one to complain about ratings . . . but I feel that a film like this deserves to be released with a R rating. The film is being released through Relativity Media and Rogue who are most likely the culprits for this decision. Though I’m sure the film could still be a fun time at the theater, this will still without a doubt disappoint horror fans.
