Nightmare Shark

Surprising this has two titles, one must have been edited for the British audience as there is not a single shark, or shark related images within it. Even watching the trailer on imbd shows sharks but those clips are within the movie excluding the sharks. The title of Nightmare Shark and Curse of the Dream Witch both relate to the same movie. The editing department has determined the storyline appropriate to each title.

The story made only the vaguest of sense. It was strong at the beginning of the movie, and I had such high hopes for it, but by the end the movie had lost what little plot it had. The story plots were highly predictable and the shark model was more entertaining than scary.

That being said this is a great bad movie to watch with your friends who also enjoy terrible shark movies. While a terrible movie it was great entertainment.

SyFy Shark Week meets Nightmare On Elm Street? Yep! Characters from past SyFy shark movie efforts? Yep!

The idea here is great, and to anyone who thinks "preposterous" ... really, it's not any goofier having a shape-shifting burnt man invading dreams than it is to have a shark doing it, when you really think about it.

"Nightmare Shark" clears the low-expectation, high-reward hurdles easily and is one of the more memorable Sy-Fyish shark films. While it falls flat in a few spots, it recovers very well, and even manages a few genuinely suspenseful and unsettling scenes. While this one could have run on the idea alone, there seems to have been some effort and thought invested into it anyway. Really, it's almost a vulgar display of clever for the Sy Fy Network, who were able to make low-brow considerably less low-brow than ... well, everyone kind of expects.

I gave this 6.5/10, and I sincerely hope that this one gets franchised by the network. Also, I hope they throw a "Nightmare Shark" franchise down the same silly holes as the original "Nightmare" series eventually went through.

Overall, "Nightmare Shark" exceeded expectations, with the B-shark idea since "Sharknado".

I saw this movie and came to rate it. To my surprise I discovered this movie was originally a shark movie?!? I saw it with a Dream-dwealing Water-witch as a vilan... Can't say the movie is exactly the same, doubtfully, but some inconsistencies now start to make sense. It's scary and insulting to the crew that they decided "we'll transform this shark movie into a witch movie for Europe!". It makes me wonder how they sold it in Japan, an Octopus Hentai movie? Anyway, it's very weak, actors did try tho.

It skips so much between dream and reality that, at the end, you don't know if the whole thing was a dream or not.
