Though not averse to some goofing around (auds should merrily laugh along when sharks lunge directly at the screen), Bait isnt as overtly campy as tho ..
Variety

These lifelike beasts surely packed a wallop, and looked just as menacing as their actions, and Rendall doesnt hold back on ferocity.

In fairness, theres not much here thats unsuspected or surprising.

Village Voice

There are moments here, albeit few and far between, where director Kimble Rendall seems like hes found a way to make this low budget shocker work on a ..

Enormous fun, thanks to pacey direction, strong performances, a number of nicely handled gory bits and a script that pays close attention to the deman ..

But I guess hes adapting to the circumstances, and hes not alone.

Bait is fairly exciting, ingenious, well designed, and is perhaps a clever advertisement for online grocery shopping.

It is all very silly, and more Corman than Spielberg, but entertaining.
Guardian
4.5
A nice balance between tension, comic relief and the rising body count
3.0
More funny than scary, it often feels like Deep Blue Sea meets The Mist... but whats wrong with that
Total Film
4.5
It succeeds as a gleeful piece of cinematic escapism delivering drum tight thrills and superb effects, but the characterisation seems sadly as disposa ..

2.0
Bait 3D needs to put aside the forced poignancy and attain full great bad movie status. Or at least let the sharks eat more characters.
The Age
1.0
Alas, the script what there is of it and the actors just cant pull it off, and more to the point, the audience doesnt want them to.

Would it have been so hard to find really interesting characters, characters to involve the audience and make us care as to whether or not theyll wind ..

Bait explores its admirably wacko plot with a mostly straight face, allowing some degree of genuine tension to build.

The problem with Bait is that it doesnt know what side of the fence it wants to sit on.
The Film Pie

I wish I could say that Bait felt like more than a successful genre exercise, but even thats exceeding expectations for a film with such a ludicrous c ..

It cant even claim to be the best supermarket spookfest; that honour belongs to The Mist, which better balanced the unrelenting horror with biting soc ..

Still, theres a wide eyed hilarity that comes from seeing sharks leap through the air chomping at somebodys rear.
Trespass Mag
3.0
The 3D doesnt do much except get some blood splatter out beyond the edge of the screen.
Assignment X
4.0
Its non stop bloody fun from start to finish and one that you certainly should invite some friends over to dig on with you... again and again.
Dread Central

Sharks in a Supermarket! is a pretty silly idea, but theres no reason it has to be this sloppy and stupid.
