Sexylocher Masterful Movie

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Syo Kennex I am someone who can really sit and watch bad movies. A lot of really bad movies have been some of my favourites each year, finding hiding gems in the horror genre. This is, unfortunately, not one of those hidden gems.Ghost Shark is all about a great white shark that is killed by a red neck fisherman, who then comes back as a ghost to reek revenge on a small community that hasn't had so much as a shark sighting in 20 years. With the ability to appear in any water source – swimming pools, puddles, anything that can support its full ghostly spectre form – no one is safe from this new hell. A group of teenagers must convince the local police force that the perpetrator of these killings is a great white shark, returned from the dead, but a secret from the town's past may be the only way to do this.This is just really cringey, really bad, and honestly one of the worst movies I have ever watched in the shark attack sub-genre. The acting is terrible, the accents of the red necks honestly just made me cringe away from the screen, and the CGI was the worst I have ever seen for a movie, television movie or otherwise. I could not wait for this to be over with, and honestly turned it off twice before forcing myself to sit and watch it all the way through. I wasted an hour and a half of my life with this movie.There are plenty of decent shark movies you could watch, including Bait (2012), The Shallows (2016) and Shark Night 3D (2011). I would seriously recommend one of those over this; I'd even recommend Sharknado. My two star rating is generous, and that's only for the well done camera work and editing. Seriously, miss this one.

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.

DeMoNiC . "Ghost Shark," in contrast, is probably closer to 75 or 80 percent "great title," with the execution lagging behind. That may not be better than some on the Syfy slate, but it's better than many and there are moments of fun here, even if they come way too early in the movie and set "Ghost Shark" up for a final act that fizzles."Ghost Shark" is the story of a shark who's a ghost. I could draw you a picture, but I suspect that you're probably able to assemble almost the entirety of "Ghost Shark" in your head already and I want to leave something for your imagination.Like "Sharknado," "Ghost Shark" begins on a fishing boat. While this fishing excursion is competitive and the ship in "Sharknado" is commercial, I think it's crucial to remember that these Syfy originals have valid lessons about the despoliation of our oceans and not overfishing our seas.Oh, I'm just messing with you. The only lesson in "Ghost Shark" is that if you're out on the open sea and you decide to kill a great white shark, it's better not to let it swim away to complete the act of dying in a nearby voodoo-infused cave, because if a shark dies in a voodoo- infused cave, the result is… GHOST SHARK.Sounds pretty plausible, right? Well, since I've been watching a few episodes of "H20: Just Add Water" on Netflix, I'm inclined to believe that magical caves capable of just about anything and I'm not prepared to delve into the relative realism of peppy teenage mermaids versus vengeful ghost sharks.In this case, the town is the appropriately named Smallport, a community with A Skeptical Sheriff, A Money-Hungry Mayor, A Fat Kid, A Ditzy Blonde, A Crazy Lighthouse Keeper and five or six other paid extras. It's not an expansive cinematic universe, but that's OK because the characters are mostly just kibble for the arrival of... Ghost Shark. I don't want you to ponder the spiritual implications of ghost sharks. That would hurt your head and, more likely, your soul. Does this suggest that sharks have souls? Does this mean that there's Shark Heaven? Director Griff Furst and writer Paul A. Birkett, triumphantly reuniting after "Arachnoquake," aren't especially into the spiritual implications of ghost sharks and much more into the metaphysical implications. Specifically: How does a ghost shark move? Answer? Through water. How much water? Almost any amount of water is enough to harbor a ghost shark. This is a tremendous leap forward in the filtration of our great nation. After all, the sharks in "Sharknado" required a certain level of storm to take down Los Angeles, while Ghost Shark requires only a slip-and-slide or a bikini car wash. Previously, you would have needed the proprietors of a bikini car wash to ignore all warnings of inclement weather in order to have them fall victim to a shark attack, but thanks to the advent of ghost shark technology, there's a built-in delivery mechanism. No matter how much I'll eventually criticize Furst and Birkett, society will always be in their debt for this fusion.See? That got your attention. Suddenly you're all, "That got my attention! The ideas in 'Ghost Shark' intrigue me." Any circumstance in which exposure to an unthinkable horror initially seems avoidable but turns out to be inexorable -- like ducking Freddy Krueger simply by staying awake -- makes for good drama and, as any good owner or teenage mermaid can tell you, water is tough to dodge.

wes-connors In the opening minutes, expect a trio of southern-accented boaters ("rednecks") to bite the dust. They kill a great white shark, which turns into a blue-glowing "Ghost Shark". Considering later events, the story might have been better off starting with the flashback which occurs near the end. For whatever reasons, the beach community "Smallport" is quickly terrorized. Ghost sharks need to eat, too. This one, being spiritual, is not restricted to the beach. It manifests itself wherever water accumulates...A swimming pool party, bikini car wash, leaky sink and bathtub are among the areas haunted...Versatile director Griff Furst handles this assignment very well. The likable cast is led by Dave Davis (as Blaise Parker) and Mackenzie Rosman (as Ava Reid), both going places. Creepy lighthouse keeper Richard Moll (as Darnell Finch) may be able to solve the mystery, if he can stay sober (and stop shouting) long enough. If spirits are real and all dogs go to Heaven, the world must embrace and accept ghost sharks. The story doesn't take full advantage of the possibilities, but the shark attacks are highly amusing.****** Ghost Shark (8/22/13) G.E. Furst ~ Dave Davis, Mackenzie Rosman, Richard Moll, Sloane Coe
