The real review

Chum is a shark-versus-humanoid-psycho thriller where a yacht trip turns into a fight for survival, but audiences are pretty split on whether it works. The overall reception is a three-way split between positive, mixed, and negative, with many finding the story thin and calling it completely unoriginal. A few viewers did praise the film’s sunny visuals and occasional dark humor, but that wasn't enough to salvage it for most. It's a familiar, low-stakes genre flick that didn't hook a lot of people.
