EssenceStory Well Deserved Praise

ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

kosmasp Obviously the clue is in the title, so you know where they're swimming. Ridiculous you say? Well isn't something like "Sharknando" crazy too? And that eve played in cinemas! And it didn't really have much to do with the 3-D effects this movie had over the sand shark ones. Now while you might know where they are, you could't really know how fast they are. Which has to do with the CG of course.Still the varying in speed (to help with the suspense when a main character is being followed) is something we came to expect from movies like this. Still there are no really good jokes in here, the acting is very weak. I wouldn't recommend this. Despite the pun and Hogans daughter in it.

highwaytourist I suppose that since this film has neither the talent or budget to be good, they tried to make it enjoyable awful. Well, they succeeded in the awful part. The biggest flaw is that you'll know how this turns out after watching the first 10 minutes. The writer doesn't have any idea how to write an interesting or exciting scene. This really was horrible, even if the idea had some promise. There are also some really bad lines, lame acting, and ludicrous special effects. This is the kind of show the Sci Fi Channel plays late at night when they think that no one who is sober is watching. The only person of note who appears is Brooke Hogan, who must have been desperate for the exposure since her reality show flopped. Perhaps the sequel will star Paris Hilton.

Minxeh Griffiths As a horror, this film is rated 1/10...and I'm the biggest wimp ever, Hot Fuzz gave me nightmares (go figure). If you choose to view this film as a comedy however, it's great! Me and my friends sat through this laughing our heads off at the terrible CGI, (at one point I'm sure somebody was wiggling a cardboard triangle along the bottom of the screen), and the cheesy lines said with such a serious manner are quite frankly hysterical. "She's thinking....out of the sandbox! >8O" Deary me. It's entertaining at least, major weakness though is the inability to feel any connection to any of the characters, they're all very stereotypical characters, the clever one, the courageous police, the nob-head, etc. Overall, it's funnier when watching in a group, good option for a chill-out movie night with mates!

Michael_Elliott Sand Sharks (2012) * 1/2 (out of 4)JAWS meets TREMORS in this silly, straight-to-DVD creature feature that lacks any real bite. A small town discovers that there is a deadly shark swimming through the sand but they're able to destroy it before a bunch of college kids show up for a beach party. As you'd guess, it turns out that the shark was just a baby and soon its mother shows up. If you're looking for some sort of classic then it's best to stick with one of the films mentioned before. If you're looking for a really cheap, really silly movie then SAND SHARKS might just be for you. When you go into a movie like this quality isn't what you should be looking for but instead you can just hope for some "so bad it's good" moments and this film offers plenty of those. I must admit that there were several times where I found myself laughing extremely loud at what's going on in this thing. The first glimpses of the sharks swimming around in the sand were rather hilarious and there are other bits of comedy here that works. One such example is a scene where a woman gets bitten in two and the guy with her tries to save her life by attaching her guts together. The film certainly shouldn't be taken too serious as there are so many logical problems here. With that said, what really kills this movie is the fact that it clocks in at a way-too-long 90-minutes. Remember when movies like this clocked in less than 70-minutes? I guess the films of today must clock in at 90-minutes for television but it's really too bad because if you took out the boring personal drama crap then you'd be left with a fun monster movie. Believe it or not but the performances are actually above average for this type of thing and it appears that Brooke Hogan took some acting classes as her work here is much better than we saw in 2-HEADED SHARK ATTACK. I'm a little surprised that the producers didn't get into some trouble because there are several scenes that rip-off JAWS and the heads of the monsters also rip off the ones in TREMORS. This film here isn't nearly in the same league as those two classics but with dialogue like "We're stuck between a rock and a shark place," you can at least have a laugh.
