Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Nickolaus Pacione Why I gave this one star and I am going to explain the reason I am doing so. For starters, in 2004, I have penned a supernatural tinged shark story closing out Tabloid Purposes (ISBN: 978- 1500524517) called Leviathan's Ghost in recent years a short story playing up one of our urban legends. The story is on AuthorsDen to this day as it's formatted for full justification -- if anything this asshole may had lifted the story in some ways. Though talking with the director of Ghost Shark: Urban Jaws as I was ready to scream at him too until I explained how I wrote this story I used Twelve Days Of Terror as the back story and using the terms from all the shark books I read as a kid. It was the first where I really shown the work to create something downright frightening; as one of my House of Pain E-Zine mates when reading this. I made the motif that Peter Benchley did and gave it an even more sinister tone. This so called director didn't research the web to see if a story like this already existed. I can't support this and Sci-Fi Channel please look into what I am saying here because I will be contacting The Asylum personally on the issue. This director may have lifted Leviathan's Ghost which I researched this heavily reading 12 Days of Terror by Dr. Richard Fernicola for the back story. Griff Furst and Eric Forsberg should at least looked for Leviathan's Ghost before he went ahead and wrote this one because the grisly sequences within my story can given this idea even more plausibility. I didn't watch this film because of the accusations thrown at me as one made the claim of I stole this movies idea for my story. When I wrote the story 11 years ago and it was on FictionPress as a chapbook. The Asylum has a history of ripping authors off and not faithfully looking into the original material as I Am Omega and I Am Legend. Sharknado what I saw of the samples is original and I had given this movie a nod. I penned Yest Ye Become One when I did my urban legend based shark story where the idea came from a report that WGN-TV did last year when they asked if that was a shark in Lake Michigan. Frust you might be reading this and saying, "Who is this sob ripping you a new one with this review?" I am the author of Leviathan's Ghost the original supernatural tinged killer shark horror story. Proved I could do a short form horror story based on the killer shark motif again in 2015. So guys I suggest you do a Google to make sure something like this doesn't already exist before you exploring this abomination.
Paul Magne Haakonsen Another one of those gut-wrenching horrible, but oh-so-fun-to-watch, bad monster movies from the SyFy Channel. This time it is a shark that comes back as a ghost to wreck havoc and terror on a small coastal village.Yeah, that was basically the storyline here. And seriously, who comes up with these ideas. It is so far fetched that it is actually hilarious to watch, and the storyline is so bad that you can't help but take the entire movie to be nothing more than a spoof.A group of rednecks are out fishing when they catch a great white shark. But unable to haul it aboard their fishing vessel, they decide to kill the shark using a gun, a crossbow and a hand grenade. Mortally wounded, the shark swims off to an ancient cavern where it finally dies. But the mysterious runes on the wall in the cavern bring the shark back from death, returning as an undead ghost shark with a ferocious appetite for human flesh. With its newfound ghostly powers, the shark can appear anywhere that has water - be it fresh or salt water (oddly enough!).The effects in "Ghost Shark" were laughable, as with most movies from the SyFy Channel, but still, it is enjoyable, because the story is so out there. And there were some really hilarious scenes where the shark gobbles up people or maul them. Watch it for yourself, trust me, you will be laughing hard at times.The acting in the movie was actually quite good, and I must admit that it was Richard Moll that initially lured me to this movie. But it turned out to be yet another of those goofy SyFy movies that you just love to hate and won't admit to have fun watching.You know what you get here, given the title of the movie in itself.
el7 The story goes that the screenplay for Ghost Shark was suggested by the 7 year old daughter of someone involved with its development. Have you ever watched Axe Cop? Then you know what sorts of logic-defying ideas can spring from the mind of a child. But then the idea is sieved through the minds of adults, and the result is a heavy helping of The Fog with a side order of Jaws and a dollop of Pet Cemetery. I won't spoil the raison d'etre for the ghost shark as it's one of the better/sillier things going on here. But the conceit is this: the shark's spirit can manifest itself in any body of water, no matter how small. It just can't emerge very far out of that water. So you have people prat-falling like Laurel and Hardy to get within reach of the shark in a lot of scenes. It's awesomely goofy. Check it out if you like this sort of thing.
wes-connors In the opening minutes, expect a trio of southern-accented boaters ("rednecks") to bite the dust. They kill a great white shark, which turns into a blue-glowing "Ghost Shark". Considering later events, the story might have been better off starting with the flashback which occurs near the end. For whatever reasons, the beach community "Smallport" is quickly terrorized. Ghost sharks need to eat, too. This one, being spiritual, is not restricted to the beach. It manifests itself wherever water accumulates...A swimming pool party, bikini car wash, leaky sink and bathtub are among the areas haunted...Versatile director Griff Furst handles this assignment very well. The likable cast is led by Dave Davis (as Blaise Parker) and Mackenzie Rosman (as Ava Reid), both going places. Creepy lighthouse keeper Richard Moll (as Darnell Finch) may be able to solve the mystery, if he can stay sober (and stop shouting) long enough. If spirits are real and all dogs go to Heaven, the world must embrace and accept ghost sharks. The story doesn't take full advantage of the possibilities, but the shark attacks are highly amusing.****** Ghost Shark (8/22/13) G.E. Furst ~ Dave Davis, Mackenzie Rosman, Richard Moll, Sloane Coe
