Ouija Shark

Sure, with a title such a "Ouija Shark", I must confess that I didn't haven any expectations for this 2020 movie from writer David A. Lloyd and director Brett Kelly. However, the movie could just happen to have been so bad that it would be an enjoyable movie, as sometimes that turns out to be the case with these super low budget creature features.

But as it turned out, "Ouija Shark" was a bad movie, in fact it was a terrible movie. But unfortunately it wasn't one of those movies where it was so bad that it was actually tragically fun and enjoyable to watch. No, "Ouija Shark" was just plain and downright horrible.

The acting in this 2020 movie was as to be expected, so don't get your hopes up for any award-winning performances. You know what you get here even before the movie starts. Yeah, it was that kind of movie.

The special effects in "Ouija Shark" were atrocious, and it was also the main reason why the movie failed. I mean, if they had just opted for a proper shark effect, one that actually looked like a living, moving and animated shark instead of a horrible toy replica, the movie would have fared so much better. Special effects are essential for a movie such as this, and the CGI and effects team just botched it terribly.

I am rating "Ouija Shark" a mere one out of ten stars, and it is definitely in the top 10 of worst movies I have had the misfortune of suffering through. It is a terrible movie, so take heed and don't waste your time, money or effort on it.

Imagine if a high school student with no interest in film had to make a movie for a class project and got a D-. That's the level of quality seen here. I kid you not, I cracked up two seconds into the opening shot, at the audio and video quality.

Every single aspect of this movie is an F. But it's pretty hilarious. I laughed a lot. I give it 6 stars on the SoBad scale. The only thing keeping it from being a rewatchable classic is that half the movie is long useless scenes of nothing. Padded with long opening credits and hilariously slow closing credits, the actual movie is only an hour. But you can see the struggle to make it feature length with all these annoyingly boring scenes of walking. (1 viewing, 6/13/2022)

I need to preface this review with the fact that I LOVE bad Shark movies. Most of them are so bad that I quite enjoy laughing at them. House Shark, Ghost Shark, and Sharknado are prefect examples of movies that know how bad they are and roll with it. This movie takes itself WAY too seriously! It's bad... really, really, REALLY bad. I'm normally a champion of microbudget horror and all of the great bad movies it can bring. This one though? Yikes! The plot is discombobulated, the acting is wooden... so, so wooden. One of the characters spends the entire movie looking straight in one direction while quite possibly reading his lines off of cue cards. The police uniforms are just postman jackets with a police emblem ironed onto the shoulder. No weapon, no badge... just the jacket. It's 71 minutes and feels like it's 4 hours. The Shark is the only thing I got even the slightest bit of satisfaction from. It's a cheap rubber puppet, which COULD have been a plus, but in this case it wasn't, because they showed it too much, and you get tired of it. I don't normally care if a movie has nudity or not, but in this case, I think it actually may have helped make it at least a tad watchable. I can honestly see why this movie spent 2 years on the shelf. I kind of wish it had stayed there. The fact that I now have this in my DVD collection actually makes me kind of nauseous. I seriously cannot recommend this movie to ANYONE!!! Run away. Run far, far away. Once you think you're far enough away... keep running!!

Dont watch this. Its a waste of everything. Its so bad, you will not believe it. Why do they even make such a bad movie??

This movie is garbage, it's like someone made it in he basement of their home with nothing to do. It was poorly made and the shark they used in this film was joke. An epic failed film. Better luck next time.
