Certainly a better shark movie than many and water is around 24-7.Ī unique B movie that surprised a few viewers with a pretty solid storyline. I does the best it can for what the film entails. Some didn’t care for CGI sharks, but with its strong cast, this movie has been a frequent re-watch for me. Jackson gets chomped…worth prices of admission alone. I don’t know, I’m up for anything that chews up Jerry O’Connell to the bone, even though I don’t want to know what “a major tool” tastes like. Since the debut of Piranha 2010, there has been word of a sequel already, most likely followed by another sequel. Ok, we got a classic and a successful remake all centered around lake fun and these man eating little vixens of the sea. It also gets kudos for an aggressive marketing campaign that managed to sell alot of tickets on this somewhat of a dud. The movie is shot cheaply, but it does keep things tense for a long time. I was reluctant to add this, but if you are seeking 100% water horror, then this one has to go on the list. My kids will never live that experience down.Ġ2- Open Water (2003) (also had a part 2)ĭefinitely not the best movie on this list, but its entirely a water based horror movie about being stranded in open water while sharks and starvation add to the tension of being alone. It also motivated a cool ride at Universal Studios. Major kudos to the director (Steven Spielberg), Jaws will always have a special place in peoples memory as one of the most frightening water films ever made. The shark was a little cheesy for today’s standards….though it still works as a shocker. (and it’s sequel franchise – give or take)Ī mainstay in water based films. but if you prefer “aquatic”, then have at it……liquid maybe, nah Very few of us, use the term “aquatic” horror (as a search) so that’s best left as a description rather than a title. And sorry for old school fans, I found “The Creature From the Black Lagoon” kind of lame, so he gets moved off.
I’ll save you the exercise of listing every damn shark film, as there really wasn’t but a hand full that are worth mentioning. If I had to list every film that had a lake in it, a cave with water or a body of water nearby, we’d end up with a never ending list. I think the aspect of a water film is pretty clear. So water was used but not as the primary theme of events. So for instance “Open Water” is great example, “Dark Water” on the other hand, has it in its title but was actually based in an apartment. That is, the horror has to be connected to the water and used as a primary location or theme. So to keep this list within the “right” frame of context, I’m going to call this focus on films that are primarily based around aquatic circumstances. What capacity, was the horror “water” or what is in the water? All these little details that don’t always align. That being the level of water use in the film. Though there is a bit of difficulty when creating a purely aquatic list. In fact, I’ll go as far to say as “favorites”. As I gathered the most notable titles in this area, I began to realize that there were alot of water-based films that I really liked. Goldfish thrive on clean water, and it can only benefit him.It was a conversation from Dai and her not liking aquatic films that prompted me to create this list just for her.
Until you can answer these questions, it would be wise to conduct an immediate 50% water change. This not only allows them room to swim and grow, but it also allows for adequate dilution of toxins that fish produce.
Are you aware that common goldfish grow over 12 inches in length? They should be in a tank no less than 75 gallons as adults. We first need to make sure this fish is in a large enough tank. What does your water change schedule look like?ĭo you happen to know your exact ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels? There are a few different treatments that you can try for fungus, but we won't know which one will suit your fish best until we have a bit more information.Īre there any other fish in the tank? If so, what kind? ☹️ It looks and sounds like fungus to me.
