Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

vengeance20 Saw this on DVD last week after finally getting round to watching. I bought this a couple of years ago but never got the time to sit down & watch. Well I've now watched & thought it was decent for what it was. But I see negative criticisms here about the film! Well... what do you expect? I mean a film that's called "Ghost Shark" should give you a clue or hint that it's going to be B rated & of course, jokey & stupid! You all expect a Jaws like film & walk away disappointed like you were surprised & expected a whole different film! It's meant to be dumb! It's a comedy horror & for what it is, is not bad & better than the god-awful series, Sharknado! The film is about a ghost shark which can attack people anywhere, where there's a body of water! As appose to being a live shark swimming around in the ocean in a sort of contained area. This shark can "teleport" where there is water basically. The story starts with a fisherman crew trying to video killing a shark to win a prize by the time midnight strikes! Dumb unimaginative story opening but hey! But after killing the shark, the dead shark lands in a cryptic cave which gives the shark powers to come back as a ghost & attack! So the shark is like Freddy Kruger but in the form of a shark! The crew then get killed off & the main story starts. The shark attacks people at the beach & the police don't believe the group of teens of the shark (rolls eyes), old drunk man believes them & gets called crazy by police (rolls eyes, again), then there's a backstory about the cryptic cave & the shark connection! The back story is a little confusing, but understandable enough.The story & film were decent enough, I mean after all, it's called "Ghost Shark" for a reason & to be fair, in its own merit, it is good! The effects were forgivable, the shark effects were pretty good considering other films have worse effects & the kills were also decent, some of which cool. The women too, hot!Overall, it's as good as it's going to get! Hell it's a fun film to watch with friends & have a laugh about! 6/10

Uriah43 After being killed by a couple of fishermen, a great white shark is resurrected from the dead and comes back to haunt the small town of Smallport which has had its share of mystical occurrences over the years. The problem is not only that the townspeople refuse to believe some teenagers when they describe it to them but also that it doesn't need much water to manifest itself in order to kill. Now obviously any film with a plot as far-fetched as this one needs to be viewed with a heavy dose of humor or at least a 6-pack of beer. Be that as it may, as far as overall "shark movies" are concerned this particular picture is not one of the better films out there as it gets more and more ridiculous the further it continues. Additionally, the special effects were elementary and the script was pretty weak as well. Likewise, there weren't any big name actors to give it any semblance of credibility either. In short, this wasn't a good movie and I have rated it accordingly.

steve-mallett I'm not sure what to say. Positives: I particularly enjoyed the impatient man scenes especially when asked about the cave. The acting was impressive, especially after watching avalanche sharks, although I am a little biased as my ginger friend starred in this film.Negatives: Could have been more bikini shots and the whole film was a little too fast paced for us - there was a lot going on. Might require a second watch to fully appreciate the small nuances of the plot.Also the incredibly small actress who becomes increasingly diminutive as the film progresses - makes the whole film a little bit unbelievable.Highly recommended.

GL84 After several of their friends are killed, a group of friends try to convince the authorities that the culprit was a spectral great white shark, but when no one believes them they are forced to go out alone to defeat the bloodthirsty, murderous spirit haunting the town.This here was quite an enjoyable and entertaining Sci-Fi Channel effort. One of the best parts to really like with this one seems to be the channels' penchant for supernatural-inflicted action scenes that could have no possible basis in reality. That there's a lot great scenes here that seem to be usual for such films like the opening attack in the boat where the shark gets killed and then turns on the crew, the follow-up ambush on the beach where it attacks the group to the complete shock of everyone and the spectacularly cheesy scene at the pool party where it appears suddenly to interrupt their festivities. This leads into the wholly enjoyable series of scenes where the shark emerges from areas like a slip-n-slide, kitchen sink pipes, a garden hose used in a car wash, puddles and even the spray from a busted fire-hydrant, among other places of a similar caliber that are so far-fetched and ridiculous that there's no possible way it conveys any sense of reality. These feature such goofy action setups that it manages to really let loose with the concept of the shark in ridiculous areas and gives this one a fine setup into the longer action scenes from the appearance in the flooded museum where it stalks the group inside or the method of finally defeating the creature which is pretty inspired due to the lengthy battle that takes place to set the scene up, all of which pace the film along and make it quite enjoyable overall. Trying to tie it into a historical-based reality with the implication of the ancient burial ground where it was spawned is a great move that at least offers a sense of balance for the ludicrous action presented, and there's naturally a lot of bloodied CGI death shots as people are bitten in half, decapitated, snacked on, chomped and dismembered here to provide some nifty gore scenes. These here hold this one up over the few minor flaws featured. Among its only complaints to be found here is the same common attribute found in the majority of their films, the lame CGI that's found in bringing the shark to life. While it is a ghost in this case and a lot of its scenes are then by-design supposed to be off, as well as the storyline dictation of what it can do, but there's just far too much time given to this that it really becomes distracting after a while. The other big issue here is the rather cliche formula addition of the skeptical authorities disbelieving everything for the sake of the town as this makes no sense seeing as they have plenty of evidence to suggest it's there and all it does is add them to the body count. These here are the few issues to be had with this one.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Language, Brief Nudity and underage drinking.
