    Now you see it ... now you don't

    Well probably better if you don't see it - ah there is the pun ... that is not intended. I even try to do something with my catchphrase. It's not that easy, but barely an inconvenience ... I love Ryan by the way! I doubt he will ever watch this movie though (or the sequel that exists).

    If he has seen Sharknado ... well I don't think it is that much better than this movie. But that is just me. You have some pretty people running through the movie ... or taking baths ... or being anywhere near the beach ... and yet the shark is always a step (swim?) ahead ... well you know what I mean. There is not much to expect here ... I reckon your expectations more or less will be met ...

    My first SyFy shark movie

    This is the first SyFy shark movie I have watched from start to finish and all I have to say for the most part is, "Ugh." Not a good film by any stretch of the imagination; however, I will give it points for having a certain bit of creativity to it. It was not boring and it was fun making fun of it. Though I am not going to make a habit of watching these films as they are lazy for the most part alluding to the only really good shark film in existence "Jaws". Sharknado started up after this one, and that film made this one instantly better as the concept in it was simply too ludicrous. Granted, this one is not believable either, but they have a better concept than a pod of sharks getting sucked up into a hurricane!

    The story here has a deceased shark going on the rampage as a ghost! Yes, it is insane and it is a way to do a shark on screen and make it look less real than the usual computer generated shark in other films. It also sets up for some interesting and funny kills. I did so enjoy the slip and slide part of the film. The film though has a hard time trying to extend this rather flimsy concept into a full film. Richard Moll of Night Court fame plays the grizzled guy who may know what is going on and has a secret!

    The film is very bad, but it has enough interesting elements to keep it from being unwatchable and horrid. Like I said, Sharknado came on after this and it was worse and I just could not even sit through it. This one had something to it that kept it a bit interesting and it did some things that made it fun. I predicted a couple of the deaths before they occurred. Ricard Moll was fun to see to hamming it up. The mayor though and all the kids were annoying. I so wanted one more kill at the end as the kids were swimming and doing their Jaws shtick.

    Ghost Shark

    This one was so bad and I knew it was gonna be but I have to admit that it was hilarious and kinda enjoyable to watch and since I'm a fan of shark movies it was fun. The acting was so bad I was laughing all the way throughout the film but for a comedy it's really good.

    Not One of the Better "Shark Movies" Out There

    After being killed by a couple of fishermen, a great white shark is resurrected from the dead and comes back to haunt the small town of Smallport which has had its share of mystical occurrences over the years. The problem is not only that the townspeople refuse to believe some teenagers when they describe it to them but also that it doesn't need much water to manifest itself in order to kill. Now, obviously any film with a plot as far-fetched as this one, needs to be viewed with a heavy dose of humor or at least a 6-pack of beer. Be that as it may, as far as overall "shark movies" are concerned this particular picture is not one of the better films out there as it gets more and more ridiculous the further it continues. Additionally, the special effects were elementary, and the script was pretty weak as well. Likewise, there weren't any big-name actors to give it any semblance of credibility either. In short, this wasn't a good movie and I have rated it accordingly.

    Fun!

    Fun, and campy made for TV movie. Definitely one you can hang out with some friends, drink some brews, and enjoy. Has some hilarious shark attacks.

    • Trivia
      When the kids find the web page about the lighthouse keeper's wife, there's a brief shot of the computer screen. The news page links to several other topics that sound like Syfy movies: Alligator attacks in Louisiana swamps, Ex-government scientists control weather. There's also a link to "People watching science fiction movie pause screen to read unimportant text".
    • Goofs
      Towards the end of the film, Finch tells Ava that, since her dad fired the shot that killed the shark (and he's dead now), she has to be the one to kill the ghost shark. Ava's dad didn't kill the shark; Ava's dad owned the boat that the guy who did kill the shark hired. If anything, Ava's dad tried to stop the other guy from killing the shark.

      Finch: You think ghosts are logical Sherriff?

      Sheriff Martin: Who said anything about ghosts Finch?

      Finch: I did. You know that's the trouble with people like you sheriff, never want to deal with the truth 'till its too late. Ghosts are real, as real as the lies this town is buil on, as real as the price were gonna to pay for those sins. You mark my words, you mark my words.

      Sheriff Martin: Well maybe if you dried out occasionally, your words might actually mean something.
