Purely Joyful Movie!

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

I have seen many shark movies recently and this is by far the worst of all of them!
Firstly the trailer makes no sense to the story whats so ever. It specifically mentions how its meant to be a "perfect vacation" which isn't really true considering all it is are these teenagers wanting to see this shark (which is already the most unrealistic looking thing ever in recorded cinema).Acting is beyond unbelievable. Its like it was recorded for a school project (even then school kids would make a better movie then this trash). There's only a handful of people in this film, and they really need to go to acting school because watching them act really is well .. awful.Please do not even look at this film, it really is a disaster! Definitely avoid it!

I did my research on this film before watching it, I read lots of reviews across the internet and most of the ratings I have found give this film a generous 1/10. Most agree that this is a really really bad film and also agree that this film will rob you of your time which could have been used better on something else. Let's be clear this film is not a Hollywood epic or even a underground cult gem, it is not charming and it is not sexy.I have to be honest, I disagree with a lot of the reviews I've read, okay the film was pretty bad but it was not the worst film I have ever seen. I think other reviewers have missed the fact that this film doesn't take itself seriously at all, even the credits demonstrate this with the "only joking" statement after saying it's based on a real event. The film is supposed to be bad and at that it actually succeeds. Sure the acting was (very) bad, the direction and production could have been better, even the shark was embarrassing (not to mention the comical shark attacks) BUT it was supposed to be bad. As an ex-film studies student this is similar to a lot of the films produced by people in my class; harmless and cheap, a movie they made to pass the time and do something rather than sit around bored. In fact, as the film unfolded I found myself thinking if I was given a challenge to make a shark based film on the cheap and all I had was a small video camera and a laptop this would be seen as a good result.The line of the film for me which had me laughing out loud came towards the end when the 'sheriff' asked his assistant; "I wonder if that's the same flying shark that everyone is talking about?!"Take this film with a huge huge huuuge pinch of salt and you may also find yourself laughing out loud at randomly bad shark attacks and dire acting/narrative, much like I did.This film is NOT on par with films like "Sharknado" or £3 Headed Shark Attack" but it's also not to be taken seriously and is far from the worst film you will ever watch. Give it a go but remember that huge pinch of salt, leave expectations at the door, and just give it a go.

This film is incredibly stupid, poorly acted and plain horrible, however I really enjoyed this one. It reminds me of the films we did ourselves, a fun project that never was supposed to be more than that. As this is a stupid movie with sharks I'll have to make the obvious comparison to Sharknado. The effects are pretty much as bad as Sharknado, but the film just has more heart, you can see how the 'actors' actually try to make this work, so I would consider this film to actually be better. I'm not really sure what most of the people who saw this actually expected, but if you ever tried to make a movie yourself this is pretty much how it will turn out, which makes this actually enjoyable.

Where to begin with this poor excuse for a movie? The acting is some of the worst in any film. These people make David Duchovny seem full of emotion. The dialog sounds like it was written by middle school children. For example three women running fall to the ground, two of them get up, the third one vanishes. One girl says "Where did Janet go?" The other one replies "I think she rolled down that hill, we have to go find that creepy guy" and they run away without their friend who rolled down a non existent hill covered in enough trees to stop anyone from rolling anywhere.The effects were anything but special. And the shark...oh the shark...they truly jumped the shark on this one...OK first the shark starts out in a lake, never mind that sharks can't live in fresh water. It can also move the water, jump in and out of it without so much as a ripple. It can dive head first into about 3ft of water with no issues. Then toward the end it can FLY!! Now I don't mean it can jump really high out of the water, I mean it can fly through the forest, attack airplanes, etc. OK a flying shark might be cool. Except this on can fly without moving a muscle. No flapping of the fins, no swishing of the tail, it just floats motionless through the air like it belongs in a Macy's Thanksgiving parade. How they kill the shark (I won't spoil that for you) is equally unbelievable...if you pay attention to what is done. The budget is listed as $350,000. The only way they spent that much is if they spent $340,000 on hookers and drugs while filming this. At least the cinematography was decent.Bottom line this "movie" will make you appreciate movies by the Asylum film company, I suggest avoiding it at all costs.
