History Film / SharkNight

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Subverted- Malik is the first one to get attacked by the sharks (losing an arm in the process), but he outlives about half the cast,

** MsFanservice: Most of the female cast certain qualify but Beth played by Creator/KatharineMcPhee gets into the most {{Fanservice}}y scenes. Also Sara whenever she's in her aqua teal bikini.

* FinalGirl: Subverted with Sara. [[spoiler:She forms the Final Couple with Nick, and they both die off anyway (maybe)]].

* HoistByHisOwnPetard[=/=]KarmicDeath: Two of the villains are eaten by the sharks.

* JustDesserts: [[spoiler:Dennis]] and [[spoiler:the Sheriff]] get eaten by, you guessed it, sharks.
* KillTheCutie: [[spoiler: Maya]] and later, [[spoiler: Beth]]

* ScaryBlackMan: Malik puts on this image in order to scare Nick in the opening scene.

* SideBoob[=/=]ToplessnessFromTheBack: Maya and Beth when they take off their shirts to change into their bikini tops.

* StockFootage: The opening and closing credits feature stock footage of several species of sharks and one blink-and-you'll-miss it scene from ''Film/DeepBlueSea'' (specifically where the shark eats the parrot).

* ThreateningShark: The whole plot of the movie. Also, the film features not just one species of shark, but seven species.

* TruthInTelevision: Bull sharks do often wind up in lakes. Bonus FridgeBrilliance[=/=]FridgeHorror[[invoked]] points in that they are well known for attacking people, surprisingly making this movie a rather realistic scenario.

* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler: Sabin's reason for assisting with the scheme is that he's tired of being looked down upon by "rich kids". Which makes no sense because they never really belittled him over the course of the film.]]

* FollowTheLeader[[invoked]]: Following the path of ''Film/Piranha3D'' and possibly hoping to get that film's critical acclaim in the process. It didn't work.
* GetRichQuickScheme: The bad guys have shot 46 of those snuff vids, (and counting) but apparently haven't actually sold any of them, yet. The case could be made the selling them is just the excuse for making them.

** Also Sara whenever she's in her aqua teal bikini.

* MsFanservice: Most of the female cast certain qualify but Beth played by Creator/KatharineMcPhee gets into the most {{Fanservice}}y scenes.

* TooMuchInformation: At one point Beth explains Blake's stupid move of spraying spray-on tan on his genitals and how it made a mess one time they were having sex, and her friends stop her before she can say TheBodyPartThatMustNotBeNamed.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:As a consequence for helping Dennis, Greg Sabin gets set on fire. When he goes into the water (where a tiger shark is swimming) to put out the fire, he is trapped inside the pool by Nick and then eaten alive by a tiger shark, scattering his blood throughout the pool.]]

* {{Fanservice}}: Certain scenes with each of the female characters apply, but especially Sara and Beth.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard / KarmicDeath: Two of the villains are eaten by the sharks.

* FinalGirl: Subverted with Sara. [[spoiler:She forms the Final Couple with Nick, and they both die off anyway]].

The story revolves around seven male and female college friends from Tulane University who spend a weekend at a lake house in Louisiana’s Gulf area. When their vacation quickly becomes a nightmare of shark attacks, they soon discover that the sharks are part of a sick, greedy plan on the part of several locals.

* IfItBleedsItLeads: One of the villains invokes the popularity of [[DiscoveryChannel Shark Week]] as proof that people want to see violence, which he's [[SnuffFilm more than happy to provide]].

* ProductPlacement: The film was cross-promoted with the DiscoveryChannel's Shark Week.

* ThreeDMovie: The movie was released in 3D.

* FauxAffablyEvil: [[spoiler:Sabin. He acts all friendly to the characters, passing himself off as a NiceGuy. It turns out, he's in on Dennis and Red's scheme, and he is just as much a monster as they are. Even after he is revealed to be a villain, he acts all chummy with Nick, offering to play some music for him as a final request]].
