Village Voice
Shark Night aspires to nothing more or less than carrying along an audience through a string of unremarkable kills, often involving high-jumping fish.

Shark Night
The director of Snakes on a Plane shifts his attention to sharks in the water in this man-eating fright fest.
A group of friends plan to "rock out" at a lake house in the Louisiana Gulf for the weekend. Fun with drinking, toplessness, and jet boats quickly turns into a nightmare as they are subjected to the full blown killer instincts of fresh-water sharks.

Shark Night 3D makes bait of the usual batch of buff and buxom collegiates, but without a hint of humor...

Time Out
His toothless attack sequences unfold under cover of dark water; the film is the equivalent of a skin flick in which all the sex scenes are tastefully obscured by blankets and sheets.

Apart from an appropriately shark-like keep-moving-or-die filmmaking ethos, the shocks are weak...

Hollywood Reporter
Dumb Louisiana-set horror flick feels generic despite the odd pairing of shark menace and redneck killers.

Entertainment Weekly
Shark Night 3D is a ho-hum series of kills and lulls so predictable that it doesn't even look like much fun for the sharks.

A.V. Club
It also lacks the tension of a good horror film, or the self-aware humor of a fun bad one.
