A covert late night mission to secure a bunch of drugs dropped in the ocean goes horribly awry when sharks attack the boat.
That’s the opening scene of Great White Waters but it’s also an encapsulation of the entire film, which essentially pits drug dealers against sharks over the course of a single day. Why so many sharks and why are they so aggressive? A throwaway line about a storm blowing them into the Florida Keys serves to hand wave away the former question, while the film never even bothers with the second.
But these sharks are hungry and/or pissed off because each time an idiotic human sets foot in the water, they come a-swimmin’. And get in the water these characters do, because they work for a psychotic kingpin named Reverend (Steve Hanks) whose outrageous orders must be followed or risk getting bumped off.

Anthony C. Ferrante, who used to write for Fangoria magazine back in the day, has directed twenty feature films over the course of his directing career – and he sure seems to love making shark thrillers. Ferrante was the director behind the over-the-top shark action of Sharknado, and when that movie turned out to be a pop culture sensation he returned to direct all five of the increasingly over-the-top sequels. The franchise wrapped up in 2018… and five years later, Ferrante directed his seventh shark movie, an Asylum production called Blind Waters that was released through the Tubi streaming service. Now, Ferrante has made another shark movie: Great White Waters, which is set to be released by Tubi on July 4th. Yes, the same day many of us will be watching the greatest shark movie of all time, Jaws. You can watch the trailer for Great White Waters in the embed above.
