The plot: An animal smuggling deal goes wrong resulting in a huge shark accidentally being let loose in a swamp.


Random observations:

  • Movie: "You're gonna need a bigger Band-Aid". Me: Hahahahahahahahahaha *laughcries*

  • Sharkapitation!
Swamp Shark provides us with mindless b.s. human relationships as we wait for them all to meet unseemly demises. Peppered with obnoxious swamp rock, we are thrust directly into the world of animal smuggling as represented by the rejected auditioners of Real World: Nameless Bayou Town.
