'Shark in Venice' is currently only available as part of a two-disc, eight-film 'Meg-A-Shark' collection from Echo Bridge. The set also includes 'Toxic Shark,' 'Malibu Shark Attack,' 'Hammerhead,' 'Shark Attack,' 'Shark Attack 2,' 'Shark Attack 3: Megalodon,' and 'Shark Zone.'
Sharks in Venice's 1080p transfer is decent enough but doesn't impress beyond its ability to deliver core basics. Essential details are adequate. Faces and clothes and environments reveal baseline textures, never with any kind of screen-commanding dominance but rather with a decent boost to clarity thanks to the 1080p encode. Colors are dull. The palette lacks depth and detail, leaving even bright primaries looking flat. Black crush is evident in an underground scene in chapter five. A strange artifact appears around Stephen Baldwin's body as he walks into a police station at the 13-minute mark. In fact, the entire scene looks as if grain is frozen and moves with the actors in globular masses. Heavy banding infests underwater scenes.
The included DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless soundtrack is surprisingly full bodied. While the front end carries the majority of the material, there's a good feel for stage fulfillment, general detail, and a proper low end. The track does a good job at creating underwater depth and blending it with often foreboding music. Light effects such as splashing water and radar pings are sufficiently clear and detailed. Chaotic action scene din, such as screams and shark attack sounds, are fine. Dialogue is clear with good front-center positioning.
This Blu-ray release of Shark in Venice contains no supplemental content.
An Indy rip-off with sharks. Need more be said? Echo Bridge's featureless Blu-ray delivers flat video and decent audio. For genre fans only.
