After a series of strange accidents, a group of women hosting extra tryouts for an upcoming beach volleyball tournament find themselves attacked by a swarm of mutated, flying shark species that live in the area and must find a way to exploit their weakness to get away alive.
This wasn't too bad of a cheesy killer shark film. Among the better factors with this one comes from the rather fun manner it gives the storyline, where it never becomes obvious in the slightest that this one plays by the usual style in the scene. With a lot of the film playing with the idea of random sketches involving a series of one-shot characters wandering into the storyline outside of the main group involving the volleyball players getting ready for their tournament, this one allows for the traditional scenes of characters coming into focus, doing something innocuous, and then getting attacked by sharks. This means the film is a significantly more involved creation than the original, despite the pacing issues, since there are actual shark attack scenes taking place here, from the opening beach encounter to the straggler at the volleyball tournament and the helpful member of the group who walks out to the beach and gets ambushed. The big finale, featuring the creatures coming to shore and attacking the populace in grand fashion, offers plenty of cheesy fun and silly effects, offering a lot to like about it. There aren't too many issues here, but there are some minor drawbacks. One of the biggest issues with this one is the drastically underwhelming pace that tends to make this one feel far more sluggish than it needs to. While it's still much better than the original entry did, this one is still plagued by a lot of the same factors involving the useless characters conversing for endless amounts of time for no reason, extended dance sequences that do nothing but eat up the running time, repeated shots for no real reason, and the stock footage being inserted at awkward moments to portray something happening on a grand scale that this can't normally pull off. This is all to be expected due to the type of film this is trying to be, and the outcome means that there's a lot of time here in between random victims being taken out, as it takes a while to get to those with these issues present. Alongside the other big expected factor in the rather cheesy and over-the-top special effects that look exactly as goofy and low-budget cheesy as expected, these all bring it down overall.
