    And the point of this movie was....?

    Well I certainly don't know the answer to that, and judging by what was on display here I am not sure if the movie did either. Haphazardly edited with cheap special effects, Sand Sharks is a poorly-made film, that is further disadvantaged by a number of other things including a soundtrack that is overbearing and in danger of slowing down the film, a script that is filled with bad puns and unbearably cheesy dialogue, a ridiculous and predictable story not helped by the witless premise, characters that are stereotypical, cartoonish and annoying and acting that is generally over-played and forced. The sharks are not menacing at all and their attacks are not thrilling or suspenseful in the least, plus how they are used in this movie is what makes Sand Sharks so ridiculous in the first place. The only redeeming qualities for me were the idyllic opening shot and the likable enough performance of Brooke Hogan, who managed to be the sole redeeming quality of 2-Headed Shark Attack as well. The rest overall was pointless and too annoying and ridiculous to be entertained by. In all honesty reading the reviews here excusing Sand Sharks' badness was much more entertaining than the whole movie put together. 2/10 Bethany Cox

    A Landshark-based SNL movie would be better

    Jimmy Green (Corin Nemec of Parker Lewis Can't Lose fame), a con-man always up for a quick buck whom convinces his dad the Mayor to hold a beach rave while sand sharks are gobbling up people, is the one (questionable) slightly bright-point in yet another Asylum made turd. His charisma makes one almost (but not quite) forget, or excuse, how shoddy this typical bad Asylum is. The thing is that it's still better than 98% of what that atrocious studio craps out year in and year out.

    I know, I know, not a ringing endorsement but with movies that premiere on SyFy, one has to go in with vastly diminished expectations in order to derive something, anything, good from said picture. Lest we go mad.

    Hahahahahahahaha

    Hahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahaha (choke!) (gag) (wheeze) hahahaha hahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahaha ((Stops for a moment to wipe a tear from his eye)) Hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahaha (gasp!) (chuckle) (gip!)

    (((takes a few deep breaths to calm his hysterics)))

    I've just finished watching this film and it's a hoot! There's really not much more I can say about this unbelievably awful film. The acting, the script (what there is of one) the props, the special (hahahaha) effects (they have to be seen to be believed, I honestly haven't laughed this much in years) everything is so bad it's hilarious. One line in the film is a parody from Jaws but instead of "smile you son of a bitch" so heroically belted out by the great Roy Scheider, this donk yells out "smile you SAND of a bitch" (No seriously, this really is in the film I ain't kidding) We're talking reaching the bottom of the barrel here, breaking through the bottom and digging down until you can't dig anymore and then pitching a pile of dynamite at the end just to go that few feet lower. This film is THAT bad. A 2.6 rating on here? Most of the votes pushing this up have got to be joke votes or the director and casts families, this deserves to be lower than a 1.0 for sure "One more time for the road...Hahahahahahahaha

    Can the Scifi channel get any dumber?

    Damn. I remember when the Scifi channel was a great channel. Battlestar Galactica. Caprica. Classic sf movies. Twilight zone (ok, they still show that). then NBC took over and the channel went down hill, linking up with those losers at The Asylum, where they should all be committed, and showing absolute garbage like this. This crap makes stuff by Shyamalan look good. I'm not even kidding here. Bad acting. Bad SFX, bad story. Bad everything. And then some idiot will say, "Oh it's a homage to the great B's of the past." Ha. These aren't even as good as the trailers of B's of the past. They should all go to Corman school and learn how to do things on a budget. I'm swearing off the formerly known as the scifi channel forever.

    wow so good

    this was SUCH a wonderful movie. i was glued 2 the screen the whole time!!!! i recommend this to any shark lovers, sand lovers or lovers of the beach!!!!!! my favorite part is when they're all running away from the shark and the sand goes everywhere, it was so realistic that i felt the sand in my eyes! very mysterious. very well made. all in all i give this movie 8/10. it is missing 2 points because it was 2 short!!!!!!!! UGH I WANT MORE SAND SHARKS!! i would recommend this to anyone who likes lord of the rings or spiderman 2. the fact that they dug up a prehistoric animal just for the movie adds about 6 brownie points.

    i am overall SO impressed and would buy this right away!
