To celebrate the release of Bait on 3D Blu-ray and DVD on Monday 29th April, we are giving five lucky readers the chance to win a copy of the blu-ray. A tsunami devastates a small Gold Coast town and leaves twelve people trapped in a flooded supermarket. Amidst the horror the group slowly realises that they may not be alone. Trapped with a hungry Great White shark, how many of them will have to die and will rescue ever come? Featuring a stellar ensemble cast including Xavier Samuel (The Twilight Saga; Eclipse), Julian McMahon (Nip/Tuck) Sharni Vinson (Step Up 3D), Phoebe Tonkin (Tomorrow When the War Began), Dan Wyllie (Animal Kingdom) Alex Russell (Wasted on the Young), Martin Sacks (Underbelly), Cariba Heine (The Pacific), Damien Garvey (Daybreakers) and high profile Singaporean stars Adrian Pang and Qi Yuwu. BAIT 3D is the first ever Australian 3D production and co-production between Australia and Singapore. Production companies Arclight Films, Pictures in Paradise and Story Bridge Films in Australia teamed with Blackmagic Design Films Ltd and the Media Development Authority in Singapore in association with Screen Australia and Screen Queensland. BAIT 3D is directed by Kimble Rendall, written by Russell Mulcahy and produced by Todd Fellman, Gary Hamilton and Peter Barber. Executive Producers are Chris Brown, Mike Gabrawy and Russell Mulcahy.

It was perhaps foolish to think that Bait (2012) might recall the raw menace of Stephen Spielberg's Jaws (1975) or Joe Dante's B-movie classic Piranha (1978). But Kimble Rendall's toothless horror is nothing of anything really: an underwater travesty which takes itself far too seriously and comes nowhere close to making the slightest contribution to the genre. Rendall has presumably lured the cast from 90210 to star in his film as a group of air-headed teens and shoppers, from Xavier Samuel (The Twilight Saga) to Julian McMahon, find themselves trapped inside a supermarket following a devastating tsunami.

StudioCanal have announced the DVD, Blu-ray and 3D Blu-ray release of BAIT 3D , the first ever Australian 3D production, for April 29th, 2013 .
