The Flood | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

The Flood is a blend of cops-and-crooks action and animal attack horror that unfortunately isn’t adept at either facet.

The promising premise loses momentum quickly, thanks to stiff performances and subpar digital effects. The Flood is only tolerable with beers, friends, and low expectations.

It’s not dull, you won’t dare doze, and there’s something to be said about a cast of bloodthirsty carnivores in the middle of an actor’s strike.

The staging, by director Brandon Slagle, is basic in a competent potboiler way, and the cast is pretty good.

Slagle and co. take the material so seriously — and not in a way that results in appealing camp — that there is barely any fun to be had here, period, regardless of the number of brewchachos consumed during its mercifully brief runtime.
