Shark Zone - Tod aus der Tiefe

Well, I have been binge watching a bunch of cheap shark movies the last few days and sad to say, this one is almost one of the better ones out of the group of them. There is an actual plot, the wife is pretty and there is some actual action.

What is funny and as you have already read, they STEAL scenes from another movie... I mean really, they couldn't use some footage they didn't use from the other movie?? But if you want to get your fix of cheap shark movies, what the heck, this is far from being the worst of the group! But to give you an idea, this movie i almost 20 years old and has less than 35 reviews...... that should be warning enough... buyer beware.

To begin with the plot. But hey what plot? Lots of sharks somehow gone completely crazy so they kill everyone on their way. "Great" script. Only man who can stop them all is Jimmy Wagner (Dean Cochran). Excellent so we've got some sort of Bruce Willis type of character against sharks. Only difference is that Bruce Willis is great actor and he doesn't act in this type of movies (read:"z" type of movies). This movie is category for its self and I don't know how people who worked on this one call themselves professionals. From director to actors completely disaster. Disaster of epic proportions. Please avoid this "movie" if you can by all means. 1/10

This movie is better than one might imagine at first glance... A breezy, gory romp... Lots of shark attacks and mayhem... Good, clean fun for those of us who love these kinds of movies... Unfortunately, the lovely Jenny McShane isn't in this one, but one Brandi Sherwood supplants her quite nicely...

Enjoy!

The small town of San Francisco relies upon the beach for all of its business. A school of sharks roam near a ship containing diamonds which sunk many years ago. The mayor wants to keep the beaches open, the hero disagrees with him. Token Russian guy wants the diamonds and he wants the hero to help him find them. etc etc etc

Sounds familiar? Welcome to Shark Zone. A movie so terrible that thousands of people watching this may be sworn off movies. Cliché after cliché. Remember Jaw? Well its part jaws, part every other bad(and by bad I mean really really bad) movie you've ever seen.

This movie is a comedy of errors. There's lots of National Geographic and Discovery Channel footage, which if you've watch for just 10 mins, you will instantaneously recognise all the shark clips.The deaths are messy, lots of really really bad fake blood. There's plenty of errors in the movie to pick from. In one scene when they're throwing in chum for the sharks, you see jelly (jello) mixture. The sharks grunt for some reason (don't ask). The sharks devour everyone in sight, oo and my favourite - corny dialogue. Lots of lines to pick out from. My fav though-Dean Cochran saying 'Class dismissed!' (Doesn't sound funny out of context, but when watching the movie, it is definitely amusing)

If you notice carefully, you see the main character's father returns as the mayor, without a beard and no apparent dress sense.

Looking at the movie from another perspective, it is hilarious. Brandi Sherwood's acting is terrible, but funny nevertheless. As a former Miss Teen USA its obvious why she got the part. The whole screenplay is so bad, you'll be on the floor in riotous laughter. I mean sure, shark attacks are nothing to laugh about, but this movie, makes the attacks look so fake, you have no choice but to laugh.

This is definitely the Holy Grail of bad movies. This should be shown in film school as not what to do when making a movie.

The movie has so many faults, its unbelievable. Not really worth renting at all. Unless you have some friends around and you want to laugh, watch this!

The writer/director has another shark movie out next year,beware!

A generous 1 out of 10 Laugh factor- 8/9 out of 10

first off I don't care if they made numerous mistakes on the movie,, the people on here that constantly nit pick a movie to death really get on my nerves.. I wanted sharks, killing, blood, and breasts. well I got all four,, . the most irritating part of the whole movie I thought was our lead female actress. she looks like a porn star and not a mom. other than that I liked the movie.. just for the over the top violence blood guts, and killings, and of course the graititous nudity when presented. there are way many worse movies out there people.. this isn't one of em,, sure the acting ain't' great , I give you that one,, but the action if fair enough.. decent shark footage,, and I really don't care if people think it came from national geographic either,,
