Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The acting, cinematography, and editing aren't even that bad; the characters simply don't engage in anything exciting, despite a flurry of action sequences and shark attacks. Rated: 3/10 Sep 24, 2020 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 16, 2005 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com Hilariously bad (and therefore entertaining) Z- grade shark horror. Rated: 2/5 Apr 3, 2005 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com The title takes a back seat to some boring conspiracy mumbo-jumbo. Rated: 0/4 Jan 2, 2004 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews I didn't expect to see a Jaws, but at least the story should have been better acted.

Audience Member I found this a fun shark movie even though the story takes it's time to kick in. Doesn't deserve a 0% score will never be as good as jaws. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Another shark movie, this time set to a story worthy of a diagnosis murder episode and featuring Johnny Rico himself on a mission to solve the murder of a friend. By the end the sharks and their titular attacks play second fiddle to a tale of shady economics and gunplay but it still makes for good lazy Sunday B-movie fodder. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member ★1/2 (out of four) It's strange because I really like sharks and I really like the idea of a good shark movie. Too bad "Jaws" has been the only one worth a dime. Maybe its partially because all these low-budget rip-offs can't actually afford the money to put real looking sharks into the film. The thin plot of this one stars Casper Van Dien. In South Africa the hammerhead shark is starting to mount unprovocked attacks. Some think demons are involved while others think its because of experiments that have been done. Low budgeted and boring with few moments of interest.

The sequels sink to deeper depths ~ Beware! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member An instant awful shark film! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member 4/4 When I was younger, I saw this shark thriller and I loved it. Its so stupid, that its fun!
