Ghost Shark Audience Reviews

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
msblackeyes68 It had to be done you know. There are so many flicks out about avenging spirits of the human nature. Why not one about a shark?It's an interesting concept actually. One I'm surprised hasn't been done for Jaws. After all wasn't the final one about him following her to Jamaica? Why not the ghost of the ones they killed?!?Course in this one any body of water will do. A car wash. Bathtub. Sink.... Which if your going to have an avenging ghost shark you can't limit him to the ocean right? . LolIf you go into this movie expecting just a fun time and amusing concept then you will be entertained. If you go in thinking it's going to be a "jaws" like movie then you will be seriously disappointed. The title alone gives you an idea on the value of the film. Watch it. Laugh. For equal entertainment read the reviews. There is one that will make you giggle and then "goggle" You'll know exactly which one I'm referring to as soon as you read it. It's good for at least 5 min of laughter.
Paul Magne Haakonsen Another one of those gut-wrenching horrible, but oh-so-fun-to-watch, bad monster movies from the SyFy Channel. This time it is a shark that comes back as a ghost to wreck havoc and terror on a small coastal village.Yeah, that was basically the storyline here. And seriously, who comes up with these ideas. It is so far fetched that it is actually hilarious to watch, and the storyline is so bad that you can't help but take the entire movie to be nothing more than a spoof.A group of rednecks are out fishing when they catch a great white shark. But unable to haul it aboard their fishing vessel, they decide to kill the shark using a gun, a crossbow and a hand grenade. Mortally wounded, the shark swims off to an ancient cavern where it finally dies. But the mysterious runes on the wall in the cavern bring the shark back from death, returning as an undead ghost shark with a ferocious appetite for human flesh. With its newfound ghostly powers, the shark can appear anywhere that has water - be it fresh or salt water (oddly enough!).The effects in "Ghost Shark" were laughable, as with most movies from the SyFy Channel, but still, it is enjoyable, because the story is so out there. And there were some really hilarious scenes where the shark gobbles up people or maul them. Watch it for yourself, trust me, you will be laughing hard at times.The acting in the movie was actually quite good, and I must admit that it was Richard Moll that initially lured me to this movie. But it turned out to be yet another of those goofy SyFy movies that you just love to hate and won't admit to have fun watching.You know what you get here, given the title of the movie in itself.
TheLittleSongbird Don't expect much from Ghost Shark. If you've seen Super Shark, Sand Sharks, Jersey Shore Shark Attack and even Sharknado(do the Shark Attack movies count too?) you'll know that you shouldn't expect a SyFy channel shark movie to be particularly good. Ghost Shark is a long way from good, but it is better than the first three movies listed- and the Shark Attack movies- if not quite reaching hilariously bad guilty-pleasure status like Sharknado did. And it certainly isn't the worst SyFy movie. It isn't too badly shot and edited, plus the scenery is nice, while the gore is inventive and not too cheap and the acting is adequate(especially for SyFy), Richard Moll stands out in a creepy and over-the-top performance and the female lead is likable. That is a feat though, but the dialogue is cliché-ridden, underwritten and has too much of the cheese factor. The story- deriving from a silly but potentially fun concept- is much too rushed too, which doesn't give us much time to root enough for the characters(who are little more than just-there and poorly developed stereotypes). It also veers wildly between mildly credible at best to hilariously ludicrous, with the attacks more outrageous than suspenseful or scary. The shark does look very cheap and is not particularly menacing in design or personality, goofy is more like it. In conclusion, bad but hilariously so rather than infuriatingly. 4/10 Bethany Cox
el7 The story goes that the screenplay for Ghost Shark was suggested by the 7 year old daughter of someone involved with its development. Have you ever watched Axe Cop? Then you know what sorts of logic-defying ideas can spring from the mind of a child. But then the idea is sieved through the minds of adults, and the result is a heavy helping of The Fog with a side order of Jaws and a dollop of Pet Cemetery. I won't spoil the raison d'etre for the ghost shark as it's one of the better/sillier things going on here. But the conceit is this: the shark's spirit can manifest itself in any body of water, no matter how small. It just can't emerge very far out of that water. So you have people prat-falling like Laurel and Hardy to get within reach of the shark in a lot of scenes. It's awesomely goofy. Check it out if you like this sort of thing.
