It's amazing how good a zombie film can look on paper - zombie vs. shark, downer ending, plenty of nudity, plenty of gore - and still be a slog to sit through. After all - in a zombie movie especially - those disparate entertainments should be ends in and of themselves. That is actually a man wrestling a shark while a topless model-type scuba diver looks on. A trim ninety minutes, nice squishy eyes.

I've convinced myself without convincing myself.
