Trailer Park Shark

I was rooting for the shark the whole time. Thanks, i hate it.

Perfect B movie for testing the character of a person, IQ checking a prospective love interest or just admitting that you enjoy trashy movies.

Quite possibly the most catastrophically stupid shark movie ever made. How country folk are seen by the Limo Liberal slime of Hollywood is perfectly depicted in this wretched piece of trailer trash filth. Every imaginable trailer trash-redneck cliche is stretched to the farthest gear when radiated sharks seek blood and gore on an unsuspecting population of Oxycotton drenched trailer trash. Plot? Who cares about plots at a time like this. Movies like this revel in the theme of despicable type casting, cliche strangled and mangled main characters and zero story line development. The only obvious interest lies in the never ending body count of Billy Joes and Bobby Sues getting "ate" by those damned shark critters. Oh the humanity.

Trying to make ends meet, residents in a struggling trailer park down in the middle of the country manage to get swept away in a plot by a developer to drown the area only to have a vicious shark to get involved with them as well and forces them to deal with both issues.

This one wasn't all that bad of a killer shark effort. One of the finer aspects of this one is the fact that there's a strong set of action throughout here that gives this a strong overall pace. The trick at the beginning featuring the event staged in two parts where it shows the pipeline being sabotaged and then going back to bring about the cause of the event itself in the second go-round is rather nice with the confrontation with the shark thrown in to give it a great feel. The resulting aftermath in the drowned-out trailer park is quite impressive featuring all the water rushing over and overtaking the community still inside their trailers due to the storm is quite an enjoyable sequence especially with the rescue efforts shown immediately afterward which helps to give this a sense of scale to the action. The scenes of the group encountering the shark in the flooded remains of their community offer some great action as well with the shorter scenes of the shark jumping out to take care of the residents as there's plenty of fun featuring the attacks on the two different sets of victims on the river. The big attack scene on the group of hunters trying to carry out their assassination only to have the shark interrupt matters displaying its electrical attack to further drive home some nice action, while the final confrontation manages to include the final attack on the final residents of the park putting their big plan against the shark into fruition gives this a solid series of action-packed scenes that are incredibly fun and providing plenty to like. Coupled with a great amount of gore from the high body count, there's a lot to like here which holds it over it's few minor flaws. The main issue here is the fact that there's just not a whole lot of realistic work one for the shark, which is so fake-looking and CGI-heavy that it really sticks out here, not only because it's such a difference against the rest of the scene that it stands out. The fact that there's just nothing all that impressive about the way it looks. The other big factor to lower this one is the fact that there's just no reason for this one to put dealing with the shark first before the developer storyline, which ends up leading to the fact that the shark doesn't come off as the main threat, neutralizing it in it's own movie since it's done first and then the attention is turned to the subplot rather than having the two stories intertwined at the end. It doesn't end this on a high note and really brings this down somewhat, although it still has a lot to like.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Language and violence-against- animals.

Yes, it is obvious that the shark effects are cheesy, and more like a video game, but the directors knew that, and that's what captivates the viewer, much like a "Godzilla" movie does, and it gives it the flavor. The studio effect rainwater following the Jet Ski rider is already embedded in my laugh track. My girlfriend, and I started watching it, just for the funny Redneck factor, much like seeing a train wreck, but before we knew it, we were laughing out loud, very hard with some of those scenes, and excellent one liners. "...like a Motherless goat", taken from 3 Amigos. It fit perfectly. There are too many to remember. There is a solid, simple but effective plot. The actors all were surprisingly very good, each skilled in their own right. The lead actor brought some normalcy to the role, knowing he was less of a Redneck, but was embracing his lowlife status. A convincing hero in the movie. They played their Redneck roles extremely well. (I'm from Texas). The actors actually sold the movie, given the B movie budget, and made it almost believable in some quirky way. It was a surprising treat recognizing a very intimidating Mr. Belding (Dennis Haskins) from tv's "Saved by the Bell". We watched it all, and the movie held our attention every redneck second. We couldn't wait for the commercials to end, just to see what was going to happen next. Several times we even shamefully jumped, like one would in a Wes Craven movie. Grab yourself a Lone Star Beer, frozen Daiquiri, or wine, and Watch this Movie. It deserves Cult classic status.
