1.0 out of 5 stars no teeth to this one, April 5, 2000

This review is from: Shark Attack (DVD)

Maybe I was just expecting something like Jaws but I didn't think this movie that great. I watched it twice now only because I kept falling asleep the first time. The script is very weak and thus so is the story, the acting is flat. Most of the shark sequences are in my opinion taken from existing documentaries (I have seen photographs of at least one scene), you can tell that they are cut into the movie and the parts that where done for the movie are very poorly done. Don't waste your money, if you want to watch it, rent it, don't buy it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Shark(from some other footage) Attack, January 17, 2001

This review is from: Shark Attack (DVD)

Shark Attack is an interesting tale of deceit and stolen shark footage. The movie features some computer harpooning police men and a crazy fisherman turned taxi driver. The most interesting part is all the shark footage... The best scene is after the bad guy/hotel owner is eaten, the shark clearly shown with a hook in it's mouth being pulled towards a boat. This of course has nothing at all to do with the plot. So where did this hook come from? It was probably I was trying to stab in my eyes to stop the pain of this movie.

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Shark Attack (DVD)

A small fishing town is overrun by ravenous sharks, and it is up to a specialist to uncover the sinister plot behind the feeding frenzy! In a day and age when computer imaging has taken precedence over physical effects (especially in lower budgeted movies), it is actually refreshing to find a killer shark movie that utilizes stock footage and giant rubber monsters. As apparent as they both may be, the attempts to bring the sharks to life by combining these techniques has to be admired considering the size of the picture. The only unfortunate drawback is the lack of suspense that results from the virtual clip show of documentary footage that clearly separates the impending danger from the swimmers. Surprisingly, though, the rubber sharks created for the film look fantastic, and easily compare with any of the models used in the JAWS series. Casper Van Dien stars alongside Ernie Hudson and other D-list actors, each of whom play in to the archetypal comic book characters and writing. The pedestrian plot remains watchable enough while the viewer patiently awaits the next kill, but the near-bloodless shark attacks inevitably disappoint. For a film of its kind, SHARK ATTACK is better than most, and is sure to rate highly with killer shark fans.
