A giant mutated three headed shark is roaming the ocean and eating people. Porn star Jazy Berlin is the first vicitm and the shark got angry after chewing on her silicone breasts.
However despite the size of the shark and its three heads, people just keep going into the water especially now the shark is after a cruise ship to devour.
Asylum have managed to produce a decent CGI shark. The story is drab.

Now I have not watched the first one yet (which has a two headed shark), but I can imagine how ... crazy it must be. This can be taken as an example of how not to do certain things ... in editing for example. The reaction shots to things happening are awful ... you could argue that the actors are not up for it, but maybe it is not their fault.
Anyway, Trejo gives it his all, when he can be seen, there was no nudity (which is surprising considering this would be a selling point, not that it would make the movie "better", but there was also an Axe scene that Sharknado probably is jealous of ... not that they were able to milk much out of it (again reaction shots ;) ) ... anyway, I've seen worse movies .. I'm guessing the sequels might get in that list if I ever see them.

This is a horrible movie. The animations are terrible and the plot is pathetic. It's obvious they rushed the editing to get this movie out for shark week, but come on SyFy, we can see other boats in the background and they are clearly in a channel with land all around them when they are trying to find a place to get to with the boat. The boat that was sinking one minute, with bodies all over it, was perfectly fine minutes later. One mistake after another. Perhaps you could also try and find actors who can really act next time. The level of acting here is grade level. I get the "B" grade quality of your movies and we normally enjoy that but even we were hard pressed to make it through this stinker. Terrible, terrible movie.
I am a fan of B-movies and appreciate the humor in them. They are aware of the audiences expectations and delivers.
But this movie really tries to be a real movie. My expectations were very low and only wanted a bit of brainless entertainment. But the brain could not relax with all these unnecessary flaws. Going full speed and barely make any waves. Badly broken things are suddenly whole again. Using the same cut scene over and over and ... again. At least some laws of physics?
I seldom regret watching a movie but this one can with good continence be skipped. It only makes you feel bad that you gave it a chance.
All though Danny Trejo saves it a little it's way below par for B-movies.
Let it slip by you unwatched.

3 HEADED SHARK ATTACK is unsurprisingly a follow-up to 2-HEADED SHARK ATTACK. It's another monster flick from The Asylum, in which an unlikely creation goes after a group of partygoers and various assorted individuals off the coast of Florida.
You know the score by now if you're familiar with The Asylum's work: this is a so-bad-it's-good piece of film-making cheese, loaded with unashamed dodgy special effects, lashings of bloodshed, and almost constant eye candy. The scenarios and situations are ripped off from various movies, including PIRANHA 3D, but nonetheless I found myself enjoying it. The film provides a near-constant stream of shark attack scenes with plenty of goofy acting to applaud.
This is a step up from the previous movie and one of the most fun films from The Asylum that I've yet watched. They even have Danny Trejo making an extended cameo in a spin on his character from MACHETE. Really, though, it's all about the likes of Dawn Hamil and Brianna Ferris parading around in their form-fitting bikinis to titillate male viewers, and some better than average CGI effects used to animate the three-headed shark. Normal cinema-goers will hate this film, but B-movie fans should get a kick or two (or three!) out of it.

While I didn't think much at all of 2-Headed Shark Attack, this was worse. The former at least tried to be fun (although the cheapness and ineptitude of it all got in the way) and had one cast member who tried, but 3-Headed Shark Attack takes itself too seriously, as well as being so stupid and being unoriginal in doing so, with next to nothing that makes it stand out from other shark movies (apart from with the shark) and wastes the talent it has.
3-Headed Shark Attack is by far the worst looking of the SyFy shark movies aired this year. Any nice scenery that the movie has is difficult to appreciate when the movie is shot in such a drab way and when it's edited so amateurishly that bacon-slicer-like editing looks more refined. Worst of all in this regard are the effects, as it was made on low-budget it would have been forgiven a little if it was not great, but when the effects for the shark look as if no effort was given in making them without looking so goofy and unfinished-looking that is hard to ignore, the only thing that it has that's superior for that of 2-Headed Shark Attack is that the size is more consistent. So is the shark's lack of presence or personality, it's not menacing, it's not scary and it's not fun, it's not even strong enough to bring any unintentional humour or goofiness, that's how bland it is. Music is very generic and adds very little, it's not always appropriate either.
The movie's writing ranges between incredibly bad to appalling, with the exception of two dark comedy moments with the head inside the shark and the boy riding the shark as if skiing, and they only raised a mild chuckle and like they were lifted right out of other shark movies (the latter being a little like in Sharknado 2). Any comedy is incredibly forced and is so cheesy it is enough to make the eyes roll in disbelief, while the more serious moments are very awkwardly written and as trite as anybody can possibly go. The attacks are far too rushed, lack any kind of suspense and the over-silliness to the point of intelligence-insulting stupidity, terrible shark effects, bad editing and even more gratuitous gore further cheapen them. To describe the story as weak is being too insulting to the word weak, it is a very lethargically paced and thin as ice story with lots of padding that is either badly written or serves no point at all to the movie, other than attempts at novelty value, which falls flat on its face because it all feels so tired. It is not fun, it is not scary and it is not thrilling or suspenseful, it's just nothing but tired stupidity.
As for the characters, that they're tired clichés isn't so much a problem, the problem is that they are either obnoxious with them constantly doing stupid things, so bland that it makes zombies seem more animated or both. Some of them are superfluous to the story or come and go out of nowhere constantly. The direction is as flat as a pancake, and the acting is awful with the unforgivable waste of Danny Trejo being one of the movie's biggest offences. Trejo, no matter how hard he tries, has nothing to work with with none of his material playing to his strengths as a performer, and he over-compensates as a result, for someone like Trejo who has a knack for raising a lot of bad movies up a notch it's shameful. Everybody else either overacts painfully or are amateurishly bland.
In summary, despite the small bit of originality with the shark 3-Headed Shark Attack is a dreadful movie all round and near-indefensible. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Top notch cinematography? Check.
A-List actors? Double check.
Genius storyline? Triple check.
This film not only captures one's spirit from the opening scene, it grips it with a fiery control right up until the closing credits. On par with such films as "Shawshank Redemption" and "Gladiator", this my friends is superb storytelling at his finest. Nominated for 17 Academy Awards (and projected to sweep all of them), this moveable piece of on screen art is sure to be cemented in history for many, many years to come.
Enjoy!

Graphics are pretty bad!!! If it wasn't for Karrueche I wouldn't have finished the movie. I DID NOT LIKE IT AT ALL!!! I am a little embarrassed for her honestly. I love her as a person but she just cannot act. Seriously. This is not a movie I would recommend to ANYONE. Not only is Karrueches acting very fake so are the other unprofessional actors. This is one of those movies you kinda just wonder how they were funded for this. & if they even made money off of this. Karrueche definitely Needs some more acting skills. You need to go to sleep? This is just the prefect sale. I believe It could have been down a lot more my prices.

Another piece of crap brought to us by THE ASYLUM and Syfy. Not worth the time to watch. Just goes to show you that THE ASYLUM and Syfy doesn't care what they produce. Awful. Cheap. Dull. Bad Acting. Bad Direction. Bad screenplay. It really needs a -10 or more. Nothing THE ASYLUM produces is worth watching. Syfy is just as bad. Too cheap to actually make a decent movie. Instead they spend little and send work to a crap production company.
The two positive reviews must have been from THE ASYLUM, in noway it is a masterpiece. I always check to see who the production company when it comes to Syfy. If it's THE ASYLUM, the TV goes off.

Not really, but did anyone think it was gonna be? The predecessor: "2 Headed Shark Atttack" was nothing short of a masterpiece.
Who knew that a shark with 2 heads could inflict such fright in it's viewer?
Steven Spielberg didn't for instance if he did he would have made Jaws have 2 heads instead of just one With 3 heads involved you imagine the fright to be even greater, but such is not the case.
Not terrible by any means and a above average when it comes to Asylum-movies and most of the cast actually made an attempt at acting which is nice to see, in many Asylum-movies they can't be bothered.
If you like 'so bad it's good' type of movies then yeah you can do worse than this for sure.
Just don't expect the laughters and cries you experienced from watching '2 Headed Shark Attack'. A movie that in many minds were robbed off plenty of Academy Awards the year of it's release.

3 Headed Shark Attack (2015)
** (out of 4)
A group of scientist come under attack by a mutated three-headed shark and soon the creature is attacking anyone that it can. Soon the group realizes that the sharks are going after pollution, which leads to a cute political message about keeping the world clean.
2-HEADED SHARK ATTACK was a decent monster flick and you know what they say, three heads are better than two. Well, at least this film proves that. Much like the first film, you'd be downright insane if you went into a picture like this expecting any kind of art. Just so you know, there are countless logical issues with the story but if you're willing to watch a movie called 3 HEADED SHARK ATTACK then can you really question logic?
Again, if you're a fan of this type of film then you already know what to expect. A movie like this just needs to be entertaining in a so bad it's good kind of way and I think this film succeeds at that. There are all sorts of bloody attack sequences, which are pretty much and I must admit that the actual look of the shark is quite good. The CGI effects are obviously very cheap but at the same time they at least look better than the majority of the films like this. The performances are decent for what they are and it's Danny Trejo who does the celebrity small part.
3 HEADED SHARK ATTACK is exactly what it sounds like and for the most part it's cheap entertainment.

3-Headed Shark Attack is just one in what is becoming a really long list of disaster movies that exploit cheap CGI effects in order to give us a giant freak of nature destroying the seas.
But I did get some enjoyment out of it. I watched it out of pure curiosity over Karrueche Tran, who I know nothing about except for who she use to date. Not the best actress in the world, that's a given, but easy on the eyes, and delvers her lines like someone who gets it.
Same thing with Danny Trejo, who I hope got a nice big paycheck for being himself in this movie. He even takes a machete to the shark. Seeing Trejo be bad ass in a movie is always worth seeing.
My favorite moments came with Rob Van Dam who was the third name on the poster. I don't know if it's his first movie, but he did some bad acting, but like the others you can see he was having some fun with it.
Plus, there was some nudity, and people got slaughtered quite horrifically, so you have that.
It's a fun film to watch if you run into it.

Christopher Ray, a gifted and visionary director, has crafted a very unique horror film of extraordinary quality that at the same time serves as a significant cautionary tale regarding pollution of our oceans. While the idea of a rampaging 3-headed shark may seem ridiculous at first, certainly in light of the fouling of our great seas there are mutations occurring that are truly frightening. Jacob Cooney and Bill Hanstock, superb screenwriters, have penned a screenplay of stunning insight and show a clear understanding of the dangers humanity faces if the madness continues. The tension, suspense, and terror in this incredible film are unrelenting and so powerfully intense that it becomes virtually unendurable by the shattering climax. An important motion picture that is also the finest entry in the Monster Shark genre in quite some time.

The movie uses high quality cameras in recording so it's not a low quality movie in that sense.
The shark looks pretty good when under water. I really like the design of the shark. Unfortunately the cgi is noticeably bad at other times. Like the Water doesn't move properly when the shark comes out of the water. And the shark looks unrealistic in daylight. Also, the shark is often shown as being deep under water when it is actually near the surface with its top fin breaking the surface of the water. It's seems clear to me that this was done because it was easier.
The acting doesn't seem bad to me. But the script is really bad. The characters make weird replies and go about doing things which makes no sense (I don't know if this qualifies as plot and not script)
Apparently, there are scenes with topless women in them. After watching the movie I didn't even know about it. As soon as I thought something sexual was going to happen I skipped the scene. Nothing important happens in those scenes which is usually what I'm concerned about.
Overall movie was fairly entertaining. I appreciate a lot of variation in location in a shark movie and this movie has it. It's not just scared people running around in one place trying to survive.

In order for me to make through 60+ minutes of this movie, if it was not for Karrueche Tran, I would have given this movie a 1.
Of course this was not a big budget film or at least I hope not, because if it was, someone stole the money.
Even title had me on OMG here go again with another crappy CGI film. The story was all over the place, but I feel if there was some better writers and some decent money put into better graphics, this might have had a decent chance of being a somewhat movie.
Regardless, for me it was all Karrueche Tran that kept me glued and so i lost track of time and watched it all.
one vote for the movie and the remaining two votes for Karrueche Tran.
