Raging Sharks Trailers

An oceanic observation station is in desperate trouble after a sudden shark attack wrecked the oxygen supply. The accompanying ship, a coast guard cruiser, and other ships in and around the Bermuda triangle are attacked as well. The US Navy sends a submarine to investigate, but soon they too are under attack.

Reviews
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Married Baby 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?
gavin6942 When the crew of an underwater lab discovers an unearthly sunken object that is mysteriously attracting hundreds of sharks, they become a security risk and a target.I do not think this film deserves a real review. It is another shark film, plain and simple, and not a good one. From executive producer Avi Lerner, who also brought us "Kraken", there seems to be the idea that throwing in a big squid or shark is all it takes to keep an audience watching.The shark subgenre has been done to death. It started off strong with the classic "Jaws", but has gone downhill ever since. The Jaws sequels are decent for what they are, and other shark series are okay. Now we have more than a handful of megalodon films, films that have sharks fighting octopi, a film with a shark crossed with an octopus ("Sharktopus")... By comparison, "Raging Sharks" is bland and just one more on the heap. You can make a hundred slashers, each unique, but there are only so many ways to have a shark attack and it has been milked to death.I am not going to lie... I spent more time listening to this film than watching it. I just could find nothing to hold my interest in it. Nothing. I am sure those involved with the production put their best effort in, but starting with a lackluster concept can only get you so many good results.The cover of the film proudly announces that Corin Nemec is in it. And that is true. But if your first reaction is wondering who Nemec is, you are not alone. It is bad enough trying to carry a film with pop star Tiffany or Lorenzo Lamas, but if your star is Corin Nemec, why even hire actors we have vaguely known at all? Do not watch this film, please. I own it ass a part of Echo Bridge's Horror Four Pack. I have now watched half of the films, and they are both garbage. The next two are about werewolves... I want to believe they cannot possibly be worse.
Jeff This movie was a hoot! Bad stock footage, bad acting, bad story, just plain bad. Lots of opportunities for a laugh. I don't think they meant it to be a comedy, however. I especially enjoyed (was highly amused is a better term) the growling sharks. They appeared to be great whites in several shots, but sounded like 'tigers' (g). The acting was rather wooden which contributes to the overall poor production.Basically, an alien space accident results in a module being cast into the ocean. A few years later, a portable lab is positioned close to the module, which we later find out triggered a signal into space. This apparently causes the sharks to go into protect mode and they begin killing off anyone coming close. The module contains a material which, when mixed with something (Deuterium?) produces cold fusion. The government (or military/special ops) knew about the module (how?) but had not been able to locate it until the lab stumbled upon it, thus setting off the signal (how was the signal detected?). Various action scenes ensue with many people being eaten (no truly great footage here, only a couple of good shots. One such shot of reporters falling into the water after their 25+ foot boat is attacked and sunk by a (as in one) 'raging' shark. The shark chows down and we see a camera with an arm from the elbow down still holding on.).Many things to criticize. Ten minutes of oxygen left in the lab turns into several minutes of chase/fight scenes with fires blazing everywhere. The starring couple (Vanessa Angel looking rather pouty with her botox-laden lips) starving for oxygen at the end while sitting in a diving prep room full of tanks (and them in wet suits). The lab disintegrating at the end and yet the couple miraculously appearing in full scuba regalia and surviving the accent (several hundred feet in seconds?!?!). Many, many other such inconsistencies.If you can maintain a sense of humor throughout it's a fun movie, however poorly acted/scripted. If continuity issues bother you I wouldn't recommend this movie.2 of 10 - above a 1 only because I like Vanessa Angel, though not one of her better films.
muki_29 I've seen this movie,and i said to my self after about 45 min in to the movie,what is this i'm watching?. It felt like watching discovery channel. The acting was bad and it seems like it was made on a low budget... The acting felt like they wore reading to each other. You can actually see that the sharks clips they are using in this movie actually comes from different documentaries. Well that's all i can say about this movie that it is a waste of time. There are a good movies & bad movies this one is a bad....Well you can listen to the other comment but in the end you will see that i have truly said what kind of movie this is.
lueschow This movie was Horrible!!!!!!! My 13 year old daughter and 10 year old son were laughing at how bad this movie was. I rented it thinking it was another Deep Blue Sea and instead we got a Sci-Fi movie of the week full of stock footage.This takes place deep under water and yet many of the shark attack scenes show a shark swimming at the surface.The plot is incredibly thin. Who would design a research platform that when exposed to some trauma where the life support was cutoff would require the occupants to swim outside to engage the back up life support? We are told in the movie at 1 point that they have a 10 minute supply of air and yet fires are raging out of control all over the station.The acting is shoddy!!!!! Save yourselves people!!!! It's too late for me. Don't rent this
