Tiburón zombie

If you are thinking about watching this because of good special effects and/or nudity - well I have got news for you: do not. Because you will surely (and sourly) be dissapointed in what the movie will serve you.

If on the other hand you are aware of what you let yourself into.... you can have some fun with it. Again I may be a bit too leniant with it, but I kind of dig low budget movies ... even the ones that are not really that good. At least the acting does not suck as much as I have witnessed in other movies ... no Oscar performance of course either.

When you see a title like Zombio Shark you shouldn't expect Oscar material. You won't be disappointed. Your lowest expectations will be met and maybe exceeded. I think the acting was bad but it was hard to tell due to the poor plot and script. It's worth watching if only to make you more appreciate average to good movies. I don't know how it rated a three, I think a 2 would be generous.(I'm saving my 1 for movies that actually make me throw up). There was virtually no character that I cared about. With most, any misfortune that befell them was 1) their own fault 2) based on actions that only a very slow witted person would take 3) terminal clumsiness and 4) they deserved what they got. I don't think the intent was to be pulling for the sharks but I really didn't care one way or the other. (My first review)

"Zombie Shark" is one of those types of movies that are so bad that it is actually fun to watch. And it makes you wonder just who comes up with the idea for such a movie.

As a movie shown on the SyFy Channel then you know exactly what you are getting yourself into, both entertainment-wise and effect-wise.

A group of young people travel to an exotic Island for a vacation, but they come to an island where the waters are filled with zombie sharks, and soon the infection spreads to land.

Yep, it is yet another one of those wacky movies that SyFy Channel is widely known for. And you either hate them for the questionable movies that they might be, or you love it for its glorious campy cheesiness.

The effects in "Zombie Shark" was awful, especially the CGI animations. It just baffled me that a movie made in 2015 can have such inadequate, outdated and lousy CGI effects.

As for the acting, well, it was as to be expected. And with Jason London at the lead, you were in for a fun, albeit campy shark thrill-ride.

All in all, a fun enough movie if you enjoy these SyFy Channel movies.

Zombie Shark was disappointing because it had a very interesting idea, one of SyFy's most original. Unfortunately, the execution was severely underwhelming, not just being visually cheap and poorly written and acted but what seemed like an original idea was executed in typical SyFy shark movie fashion, with no imagination whatsoever and only occasional splashes of fun.

The best thing about it is Roger J. Timber as Lester, Lester is a fun character, and Timber is amusing while never overplaying and always realising what type of movie he's in. Becky Andrews is sensual and doesn't overegg or underplay either, she actually gives the movie some heart, as does Laura Cayouette. The ending is also quite unexpected and poignant, as is the dynamic between Andrews and Cayouette.

Sadly, the rest of the acting is poor, with the usual mix of overplaying and blandness. While it was laudable to try to give the characters back-story, some were written in an underdeveloped and overwrought way, and the movie never properly allows us to care or learn enough about them. Scripting is lazy and corny in a way that can only be achieved by SyFy, and the direction is flat.

But the worst assets of Zombie Shark are the story and the production values. Really wanted to like the story here because the concept was intriguing, but while it starts nicely the further the movie progresses the lazier, cheesier and more formulaic it gets, also making the mistake that most SyFy movies make of trying so hard to be over the top and stupid but in a painfully predictable and less than fresh way that it becomes tiresome, the scenes with the parents are pointless and bog the movie down pacing-wise. While I have seen worse-looking movies, that doesn't stop Zombie Shark from looking cheap, and the drab filming and sometimes sloppy editing aren't even the worst parts. That would be the shark effects, especially the very unfinished-looking mechanical ones. They exude little personality either, no menace, not even any unintentional goofiness, none of them even acted zombie-like, and the attack scenes apart from one mildly amusing one are sloppily edited, too brief and devoid of suspense or sense of horror. Such a waste of good potential!

Overall, has its moments but wastes an intriguing concept with underwhelming execution. 3/10 Bethany Cox

This group of people all should be dead. Like little kids who always do what they are told not to do, these adults do the dumbest things possible. Things which any normal person in his right mind would not do. If you have shark infested waters then the smart thing to do is to get as far away as possible from those waters. Not these people. Anyway, there was some nice eye candy in this movie. So sit back, enjoy, and have a few laughs. And stay away from the water.
