Sadly, all of this miscommunication represents a large failure in what the movie aims to accomplish, or what it thinks it is accomplishing. Go to Full Review

.5/5
Chum is another slum level shark thriller which unsuccessfully binds several genre tropes together as a way to distract from shoddy special effects and bland, grating characterizations, while poor Alice Eve seems to be paying a karmic price... Go to Full Review

Haphazardly edited, abysmally performed, and featuring some stunningly atrocious visual effects, Chum more than lives up to its title. Go to Full Review

Chum is so painful to watch that swimming with sharks sounds like a more enjoyable way to spend your time. Go to Full Review

Lair of H @Fenrazor 1d Hillarious! Lots of pov shots of shark eating the humans bodies and downing them whole which are really funny! I see all kinds of complaints about cgi and what not but I didnt think it was the worst. Acting is not great but it doesnt get in the way of the super great kills! I watch shark movies to see people die in cool ways and thats what happens here! See it! See more Magnetic C @MagneticCone 1d What a great bmovie! The acting was bad, it was hilarious. The effects were bad , well most of them. It was fun! Not too long of a movie. See more Pet P @RT17910768 2d Shark movies are fun. So what if it isn't part of over produced toxic Hollywood? It is enjoyable and a great summer watch. See more Gel P @Gelprint 2d I don't know why people are not giving this great reviews. It is set in a beautiful place and the subplots are realistic. Shark movies in summer are always fun. If it was "too much" of other things it might not be suitable for preteens and other age groups who are ok to watch this too. I enjoyed it and for that reason I came to give it a good rating. Remember that a lot of movies are just PR hyped. This is a fun summer watch. See more Roni J @Roni24 3d I have never left a review on Rotten Tomatoes before but I felt compelled to after watching CHUM. Viewers need to know how awful this movie truly is. I don’t like to refer to movies or tv shows as garbage but unfortunately it is accurate in this case. Usually indie/low budget movies are buoyed by great acting or a good script. Not here. The only good thing about this film was when it was over. Even the AI shark attacks had me rolling my eyes and laughing. I recommend just staying out of the water and not watching this AI slop….errr AI chum! See more moon K @MooNnnnnnn Jul 18 wooden acting, really strange interactions. the vibes were sooo off on this rubbish See more Read all reviews
