The plot: A man must protect his small coastal town from a large shark but without the benefit of Richard Dreyfuss or Robert Shaw.


Random observations:

  • This is the 3rd sequel to the film Shark Attack.
  • I know they don't really growl, but I love it when sharks growl in shark movies. These sharks growl.
  • Hey! Reused surfer attack footage from Shark Attack 2. And you thought we wouldn't notice, you crazy motherfuckers.

Remember when those kids did a shot-for-shot remake of Indiana Jones in their back yard? This is sort of like that only with Jaws. But instead of having obsessive fans write the script, it feels like it was written by someone whose cousin saw Jaws once and thought it was really cool.

The verdict: I'm not quite sure who the intended audience is for this film other than friends and family of the people who made it, but it's certainly not me. Maybe it's you. But probably not.

I think this is the first movie I saw where I finally allowed myself to realize that dads could be hot. The original Amityville Horror is one of my favorite movies. I saw it at a young and impressionable age and I was still very open about paranormal a...

Random observations: After watching 1921's Destiny directed by Fritz Lang this morning, it's quite noticeable that the film quality of this movie has degraded greatly since the '40s and could do with a facelift. However, part of the charm of the early 40's b-movies of this budget lies in the imperfections themselves.  If you watch this film on Amazon, please note that there are no closed captions available.
