“Shark Season” (*1/2 out of four) was a limp horror thriller about two girls (Paige McGarvin and Juliana DeStefano) who go out for a day of kayaking on a remote island when they are suddenly stranded and besieged by (what else) a killer great white shark which soon attracts multiple other sharks to the water and one of them has to call on their ex-military dad (Michael Madsen) to come and rescue them. Yet another in the endless parade of killer-shark movies but offers literally nothing you haven’t seen done before and done better. Madsen sleepwalks his way through another paycheck role; McGarvin’s strong and soulful performance is film’s one merit.
