Reviews

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Michael_Elliott Shark Zone (2003) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Ten years after seeing his father eaten by a Great White shark, a man (Dean Cochran) is forced to save his small Costal town when the people come under attack from a pack of sharks. Also, there's a legend that there's a sunken ship with a trunk full of diamonds but it's being protected by the sharks. Soon our hero must not only defeat the sharks but he's forced to take some mobsters out on a treasure search. This here was the fourth film in the SHARK ATTACK series and I must admit that I'm rather confused by all the negative reviews. Sure, this isn't JAWS but I think it's a lot better than many of the imitations out there. Plus, I think this one benefits from not having all CGI sharks and thankfully we get to see the real creatures and the director wisely puts them in countless attack sequences. The film certainly earns its R-rating because there's quite a bit of violence from start to finish. The attack use real shark so of course there's going to be a lot of editing to pull off the dead people but for the most part it works. There's all sorts of the red stuff for gore fans to enjoy and I think the adventure also works quite well. Some of the negative stuff includes some pretty bad performances. Cochran isn't too bad in his part but the Brandi Sherwood, who plays his wife, is quite awful and each of her lines sound like they're coming from a stripper and not a wife and mother. The producers not only give us the violence and blood but there's also some nudity, which means all three of these just add up to some good exploitation. Again, if you're wanting a masterpiece or some well-made picture then this isn't going to be for you. If you enjoy these nature attack movies then I think this is one of the better ones out there.
SanteeFats I gave it a 1 because I couldn't give it a 0. The Syfy channel seems to lean a lot more to fantasy with their "original" movies than the realm of science fiction.Great Whites are solitary hunters.There is no natural way they would hunt in packs. Yes several might show up for investigative purposes or to feed on something big like a whale carcass but never as a school. The growling, especially underwater, is more fantasy. Great Whites do not growl. Even though the gestation period is unknown, the growth rate of Great Whites are extremely slow. They eat mostly fish until about 10-12 feet in length. So even though the main sharker mentions it a couple of times it has no bearing on the attacks. I may seem like I am too exacting about these matters but they are so well known where I live that I think it could have been written closer to real life since they were using known locations and sharks.
jspitzl-914-679430 Let me just say...THIS MOVIE ISN'T EVEN A MOVIE!!! It's pretty much just a bunch of stock footage of sharks and clips from other shark movies! It even gets worse, they roar! Plus, in the beginning, the divers can talk underwater. It's like another Cruel Jaws! In my opinion, it's pretty much a shark toothed mess! On the other hand,the good things in this movie are, that the whole storyline is awesome, and it's a fast paced movie. But, why did they call this movie "Shark Zone"? It isn't even about any kind of zone in any part of this movie. The mayor is really dumb in this movie, for not closing the beaches. So, if I were you, I would buy it off EBay, and watch it for the fun of it. I gave this movie 4 stars.
moviefreakazoid The small town of San Francisco relies upon the beach for all of its business. A school of sharks roam near a ship containing diamonds which sunk many years ago. The mayor wants to keep the beaches open, the hero disagrees with him. Token Russian guy wants the diamonds and he wants the hero to help him find them. etc etc etcSounds familiar? Welcome to Shark Zone. A movie so terrible that thousands of people watching this may be sworn off movies. Cliché after cliché. Remember Jaw? Well its part jaws, part every other bad(and by bad I mean really really bad) movie you've ever seen. This movie is a comedy of errors. There's lots of National Geographic and Discovery Channel footage, which if you've watch for just 10 mins, you will instantaneously recognise all the shark clips.The deaths are messy, lots of really really bad fake blood. There's plenty of errors in the movie to pick from. In one scene when they're throwing in chum for the sharks, you see jelly (jello) mixture. The sharks grunt for some reason (don't ask). The sharks devour everyone in sight, oo and my favourite - corny dialogue. Lots of lines to pick out from. My fav though-Dean Cochran saying 'Class dismissed!' (Doesn't sound funny out of context, but when watching the movie, it is definitely amusing)If you notice carefully, you see the main character's father returns as the mayor, without a beard and no apparent dress sense. Looking at the movie from another perspective, it is hilarious. Brandi Sherwood's acting is terrible, but funny nevertheless. As a former Miss Teen USA its obvious why she got the part. The whole screenplay is so bad, you'll be on the floor in riotous laughter. I mean sure, shark attacks are nothing to laugh about, but this movie, makes the attacks look so fake, you have no choice but to laugh. This is definitely the Holy Grail of bad movies. This should be shown in film school as not what to do when making a movie.The movie has so many faults, its unbelievable. Not really worth renting at all. Unless you have some friends around and you want to laugh, watch this!The writer/director has another shark movie out next year,beware!A generous 1 out of 10 Laugh factor- 8/9 out of 10
