Rogue Pictures upcoming frightener Shark Night 3-D may be a PG-13 affair, but that’s not stopping the studio from baiting moviegoers with promo stills of bikini clad stars Sara Paxton (Last House on the Left), Alyssa Diaz (Red Dawn), and former “American Idol’ runner-up Katharine McPhee.

The film’s synopsis reads:

Arriving by boat at her family’s Louisiana lake island cabin, Sara (Paxton) and her friends quickly strip down to their swimsuits for a weekend of fun in the sun. But when star football player Malik (Sinqua Walls) stumbles from the salt-water lake with his arm torn off, the party mood quickly evaporates.

Assuming the injury was caused by a freak wake-boarding accident, the group realizes they have to get Malik to a hospital on the other side of the lake, and fast. But as they set out in a tiny speedboat, the college friends discover the lake has been stocked with hundreds of massive, flesh-eating sharks!

As they face one grisly death after another, Sara and the others struggle desperately to fend off the sharks, get help and stay alive long enough to reach the safety of dry land.

Shark Night 3-D is directed by David R. Ellis (The Final Destination 3-D) and costars Chris Carmack (The Butterfly Effect 3), Joel David Moore (Avatar), Dustin Milligan (The Messengers) and Sinqua Walls (Savage County).

Sara Paxton is part of Clatto’s list of The 20 Hottest Women Working in Horror/Sci-fi Today.

Shark Night 3-D is in theaters on Sept. 2.
