What is it about these lousy shark-movies that makes them so darn addictive? You know from beforehand the special & visual effects will be atrocious. You know the plot will be utmost preposterous and dumb. You know the cast will be full of stereotypes, and you can be certain their performances will also be horrendous. And yet, I can't help feeling joyful when a see another ridiculous shark dud appear on TV! There are two reasons in particular why I don't regret having watched "Ozark Sharks". Number one, being European, I never heard about this beautiful physiographic region called the Ozarks. Looks magnificent! Secondly, at least this trash-flick features a different type of shark species, for once, namely the Bull Shark. The script even contains characteristics about this species that are accurate, like their freshwater tolerance and habit of scavenging up rivers and lakes.
Of course, I don't want to sound too positive, as "Ozark Sharks" naturally remains another umpteenth and worthless shark dud. It's enjoyable enough, if you can tolerate the derivative plot, the bland characters (including the mandatory hillbilly gun-freak and dimwit stoner-boyfriend) and the shark attacks so amateurishly fake they make "Jaws 3-D" look genius. There are several (unintentionally?) hilarious moments, like when grandma's head gets bitten clean off, and nobody really seems to care that she's dead. Beware, for bad shark-trash fanatics only.
