An underwater earthquake generates a tsunami that strikes Malibu, bringing a hunting pack of prehistoric-looking goblin sharks to the surface. Although the beach is evacuated before the big wave strikes, a group of lifeguards and a crew of construction workers are stranded in the high water and have to fight the sharks to get to dry land.

Malibu Shark Attack Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Raul Faust Well, it's been a while since my last shark attack movie. My dad insisted for me to watch this 'horror' movie with me, so there I went. I expected it to be very bad-- and I wasn't very wrong. The story is pretty simple and ordinary, monster sharks come to kill people for no reason whatsoever. The only plus is that this time they come along with a tsunami, making it harder to keep alive. The first half hour is interesting, since things are happening all the time, making it entertaining. However, after the first hour I could barely pay attention to this, given that the only thing characters did was trying to scape from death. Some scenes are very predictable, such as someone jumping into the water to "distract the shark" and ending up dead. CGi sharks also weren't too plausible. I'm only giving this four starts for respect to the surprisingly good cast-- with exception of Mungo McKay's, I don't know if he was over the top or his character was just annoying.
TheLittleSongbird I do get some novelty value out of SyFy's mostly terrible movies. That said, I found Malibu Shark Attack overall too dull and too ridiculous to really be entertained by it. The sharks are the best part of the movie, they don't look great and the way they're utilised gets stale after a while but they do show some menace and compared to the rest of the characters they are relateable. That is because the rest of the characters are stereotypical, made to do stupid and annoying things and not developed well at all. The acting manages to be awful as well, the lead actor is stiff and uncharismatic and the female's damsel-in-distress routine has been seen so many times before and much better, here she has this all looks, no talent aura about her. Malibu Shark Attack looks very cheap, the shark effects are not great at all, some of their features actually makes you wonder whether they are actually sharks, and the editing is choppy so you can enjoy the scenery enough. But these are nothing compared to the effects for the tsunami, I concur about them being one of the, perhaps even THE, least convincing tsunami effects in film, looking as though they were constructed in a major rush. The script is very weak with cheesy one-liners, cringe-worthy dialogue in the exposition scenes and context about the sharks that will make experts exclaim "NO" with their exasperated hands in the air. The story likewise, there are the "obligatory" ridiculous scenes like the tsunami and waves magically vanishing, the shark attacks lacking any sense of horror or suspense(and further suffering from some of the film's worst editing) and the exposition little more with padded filler with dull pacing, clichéd dialogue and characters that prove themselves not to be likable in the least. On the whole, see it somewhat for the sharks but for nothing else. 1/10 Bethany Cox
Tonci Pivac "What I might enjoy more is video of the USA Network/SciFi execs and the 'pro' wrestlers getting eaten by a few real sharks so that we didn't have to watch them **OR** crap like this anymore."Well, you could change the channel...."(yes, I know sharks are really mammals)" Actually, sharks are NOT mammals: they are fish that bear live young, in most species. I'll be watching "Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus" tonight("Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle" is on opposite "Malibu Shark Attack"). Debbie Gibson AND Lorenzo Lamas? Must-watch TV!
Coventry "Hey, let's watch some of those really stupid shark attack movies!" This is actually one of the worst idea my mate and I ever brought forward. You have seriously no clue how many of these inane and downright embarrassing shark movies actually exist! In between all the utmost ridiculous sounding titles, like "Dinoshark" and "Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus", this "Jaws in Tsunami" actually looked like one of the more adequate efforts. Wrong again… This is a horrible excuse for a movie, with a laughable plot and deeply irritating people. The basic premise sounds interesting enough, but unless your name is James Cameron or Steven Spielberg, you can't possible gather the required budget to accomplish something like this. An underwater earthquake does not only bring back a bizarre species of goblin sharks that were believed to be extinct, but the subsequent tsunami catapults them straight onto Malibu Beach where they can feast on bimbo bikini babes and beefcake jocks. The funniest thing about this film is the tsunami. When hearing that word, everybody is reminded about the horrible disaster in the Indian Ocean and thinks of enormously devastating tidal waves that destroy and kill everything on their path. The titular tsunami of this film is supposedly very destructive, but the truth is that it doesn't even manage to wash away a wooden beach hut! Either this is the strongest lifeguard hut ever made (perhaps built by David Hasselhoff's bare hands when he was in Malibu to shoot "Baywatch") or it's just the weakest tsunami ever. After the tsunami, a handful of Malibu Beach lifeguards and their annoying boyfriends and girlfriends seek refuge in a beach hut whilst being surrounded by half a dozen of prehistoric and pathetically computer engineered goblin sharks. The cutest and most interesting character of the bunch, Sonya Salomaa, is the first victim to get eaten by the hideous animals and that made it even more difficult to hold an interest in the film. The rest of the cast is quite annoying, including the lead actress with her terribly deep and manly voice and two imbeciles fighting over her. "Jaws in Tsunami" is too serious in tone and the cast members are clearly trying hard to make the script sound believable. All these efforts actually make the film slightly too good to consider as amusing trash. They actually tried! Damned!
