Paul, a senior executive with an energy business, takes his family on a little vacation to Mexico. He has no idea that when his employer gives him the go-ahead to examine an oil rig close to where he's vacationing, his quiet getaway is about to take a terrifying turn.
The kind of movie that makes you question if someone lost a wager and had to make a movie, regardless of how awful the plot was, is "The Black Demon." You can't help but shake your head at the decision-making that resulted in this disaster from the very beginning. The conflict between humans and environment is the subject of this movie, although the resolution is as foreseeable as the rising sun. The tension and impending epic conflict between humanity and nature are hinted very early on in the movie. But everything is a smokescreen. It's like witnessing a magic show gone bad as a result of how weird the confrontation between the shark and the people is. The movie lacks a coherent narrative.
Instead of a spectacular conflict between man and beast, you are lulled into a sound sleep. Here, the creators had a tremendous chance. a possibility to produce something memorable. But to come up with this monstrosity, it seems as though they shot darts at a clichéd word board. The movie's alleged antagonist, the shark, makes a brief cameo appearance that is no longer than a TikTok video. Instead, we witness a dysfunctional family where the parents fight, reconcile, and then fight again. The young child's seeming maturity beyond their years quickly transforms from dazzling to grating. When her family is in trouble, the rebellious teenage daughter unexpectedly develops a heart of gold.
An oil business CEO named Paul (Josh Lucas) takes his family on a vacation to Mexico at the beginning of the narrative. They feel as though they had strayed into the Twilight Zone when they enter. The few people they run into are unusual and act strangely, and the area is deserted. When Paul receives a call from the office telling him to check out a nearby oil rig, his vacation takes a severe hit. Except for Chato (Julio Cesar Cedillo) and Junior (Jorge A. Jimenez), the rig is deserted when he gets there. As the family is harassed by irate neighbours, things get worse. Then it is revealed that a megalodon shark connected to Aztec mythology is on a rampage of vengeance.
'The Black Demon' feels out of place in the realm of shark movies. You can't help but ask why they didn't draw inspiration from "Jaws" and add some genuine suspense to the plot because it floats in a sea of mediocrity. 'The Black Demon' is ultimately a cinematic shipwreck. It serves as an example of how not to make a movie. This movie is for you if you're ever in the mood for anything that will make you wonder why you made the decisions you did in life.
