I watched this movie as part of a binge of movies related to animals on cocaine. I was sorely disappointed that this movie was not about sharks that were high on cocaine and terrorizing people. The sound track was not terrible, much better than some others, but not as good as Sharkula's soundtrack.

That said, entertaining to watch and laugh at. The cheesy graphics and acting was enough to keep me entertained for the duration of the movie. This is right alongside the other movies from some of the same actors and producers. Definitely worth a watch through with a big bowl of popcorn and your close sarcastic friends.

I wish I could rate Cocaine Shark a 0/10. A 1 is too high.

Everything on the cover is a lie. There is no cocaine in this "movie". There is no great white shark. There certainly is no shark eating a block of cocaine or getting covered in it.

Instead, you get a plot revolving around human consumption of a fictional drug derived from a gland within shark bodies... or something. Whatever it is, it's definitely not cocaine. There's scenes of people lying in bed together and taking the drug and talking about it.

The closest thing to a shark here is a plastic creature with a hammerhead shark head and a lobster body which chases the main characters.

Guess this is the logical end result of taking what's already an intentionally bad movie in Cocaine Bear and using it to sell something else, where nothing other than the cover art matters. It's not a ripoff of Cocaine Bear, that would require a plot and content with any resemblance to it- rather, you will feel ripped off, even if you watch it for free.

With a low rating, and no expectations. Was expecting this film to be terrible giving its low budget and its parody title. The cover art made it look half way decent but overall there isn't anything really redeeming about this film.

The sharks are animated looking, and it isn't in a funny way. The acting is amateurish where's it's too distracting to take anything serious. The story isn't intriguing and there's no suspense, no mystery and in the end we wonder as to why we watched. It's not a film that's funny in a "so bad it's good" way, it's simply cheesy and forced. Not worth the watch. Far better low budget films out there.

I remembered when the movie was announced and of course I was planning to watch it. I mean, an insane title such as "Cocaine Shark" just screams of a movie you have to watch. Granted, I wasn't harboring any expectations to the movie at all, after having seen the trailer.

And now I finally had the opportunity to sit down and watch "Cocaine Shark". And let me just clarify that "Cocaine Shark" from writer Bando Glutz and director Mark Polonia is by no means a contender to the hilarious "Cocaine Bear" movie. Not even remotely. Nay, "Cocaine Shark" is an abysmal movie in every possible aspect.

The storyline in "Cocaine Shark" was pretty simplistic. The writing was bland and the narrative was amazingly mundane and sluggish. There was nothing thrilling or exciting about the storyline, unless you consider it being a massive dumpster fire as being exciting.

The acting performances in the movie were amateurish, wobbly, questionable and laughable at best. Needless to say that there wasn't a single famous performer on the cast list. Not even Nicolas Cage would touch this with a stick.

The special effects in "Cocaine Shark" were exactly that; special. Yeah, you have to see how crappy and poor the special effects, practical effects and CGI effects are throughout the course of the 76 minutes that the movie ran for in order to believe that something like that actually comes to see the light of day in 2023.

The movie's cover/poster over-sells the movie a million times. Yeah, there was no shark looking like that in the movie. Nope, not even remotely. The sharks in the movie were either toy sharks or horribly rendered CGI sharks that wouldn't even fool a blind man.

There are plenty of horrible and laughable shark-themed movies out there, but "Cocaine Shark" is definitely a contender for the top three of crappy shark movies.

Do yourself a favor and stay well clear of "Cocaine Shark". Some of us suffered through this, literally, so you don't have to.

My rating of "Cocaine Shark" lands on a one out of ten stars.

This year saw the release of not only Cocaine Bear...but a series of D-grade, ultra low budget spinoffs, like Cocaine Cougar...and, of course, this piece of Polonia produced trash...Cocaine Shark.

Which is not exactly what you'd think it would be, judging by the image on the poster...ie a giant shark, high on cocaine.

Rather, cocaine is spiked with some sort of bio-chemical, derived from sharks, that makes addicts hallucinate that they are shark-like humanoid creatures.

Or, more inexplicably, "crab sharks"...which manifest with a combination of shark and "crab" features (though they are more lobster like, in actuality).

On top of this iconic creativity...it features the piss poor dialogue you'd expect from a homemade horror...and some of the worst acting to ever grace the screen.

But the creatures- rendered with stop motion- are actually kind of cool.

In a lame sort of way.

But that doesn't make the title any less misleading.

Whether you like it (and why would you?), or not, this is sort of trash that Polonia has made a name for himself doing.

Leaving you to wonder how he actually manages to fund these projects.

My guess, would be from the overtime shifts at his McDonald's job.

But you've got to admire his passion.

Because there's no doubt he knows he sucks at making films...but doesn't let that slow him down.

As he shamelessly persists to produce worse and worse films...that are somewhat, laughably, entertaining.

Luckily, this one is relatively short.

So it's not to much of a burden to watch...when you want to get your cinemasochism on.

2 out of 10.

I was impressed with some of Mark's DIY creative choices, but that's always been something I love about Polonia movies. They've always got effort and creativity and a rotating group of actors you actually love watching.

I asked myself if Dustin Ferguson watched this and took some notes for his own Cocaine Cougar that I haven't been able to make myself watch and then I remembered he's completely delusional so of course he didn't. He also had his movie on shelves 3 weeks after Cocaine Bear debuted so I doubt he even watched that. The reviews I read for it say it's the exact same formula he always uses just with a terrible cgi cat thrown in at random places.

Cocaine Shark is a 2023 film by Mark Polonia. A Mafia Drug Lord has unleashed a new addictive stimulant made from sharks in a lab but there are monstrous side effects.

Unlike Jurassic Shark 3 where it takes a relatively normal low budget shark movie and jumps that shark this time they jumped that shark right from the beginning. This movie feels like a little bit of a disappointment with almost a bait and switch approach. I was expecting a shark high on cocaine instead I get a mutant shark movie that probably would have come out with a different name if it hadn't been for Cocaine Bear. It is also kind of sad that he monsters kind of take a back seat for the plot of the film as it revolves around the drug dealing and criminal activity far more. I think the more appropriate title would have been "shark cop" but that might have given things away.

I kind of feel bad for Kyle Rappaport in this one, he had been climbing the Polonia ladder with him being in most of the length of Jurassic Shark 3 but not making it past the opening credits here, he does multitask in this one, however so one could say that he has a much bigger role as its 4 small ones and it can be fun to try and spot where he shows up. Much the same it is good to see him in the field and hope to see him utilized in more fun and entertaining ways. I've come to look for Polonia in his films, no matter the film he is always fun to spot. I'm glad to see Titus Himmelberger in the Staring role, he handles the role fairly well and I've enjoyed what I've seen him in thus far. Most of the acting is in the typical Microbudget quality but never so bad that it destroys emersion or becomes comically bad. I do really like the setting, it was nice on Jurassic Shark and pretty good here as well.

I really like some of the effects with stop motion or the odd creations and mutations for creatures. When it comes to Polonia shark movies I really enjoy a lot of the practical effects but I don't feel I get to enjoy them long enough here the Cheesy effects are on full display and utilized pretty well. I do hope to see more stop motion from Polonia in the future.

Music wise it isn't terrible, the music works, though isn't particularly good or bad.

Cocaine shark has a lot of potential to it. I do feel with a different title expectations would be a bit better. I went in looking for a shark High on Cocaine and came out with a movie about a human high on shark. If you are looking for a lower budget police thriller with shark monsters you are in the right place. If you are looking for a movie like Cocaine Bear, don't bother.

If you've seen Cocaine Bear and are excited to see what Cocaine Shark has to offer, may be you should hold your horses. Originally titled Kanizame Shakurabu, this movie was renamed to shamelessly cash in on Cocaine Bear, to the point where the cover art for the DVD/blu-ray is literally marketing a movie that doesn't actually exist. To be clear, there's very few sharks in this and even less cocaine.

Cocaine Shark may actually have found life just selling exactly what it is, a very silly B movie featuring mutated creatures, bad acting, and cheap effects. It does at least remain humourous, since the movie is very well aware of how bad it is, and stop motion and cheesy graphics are always a pleasure.

Cocaine Shark feels like a student movie, or something that would have aired on the SyFy Channel. It's not as bad as it seems, but also not good either.

After waking up in the hospital, an undercover agent recounts his experience trying to crack a new drug ring in the area attempting to make synthetic drugs that put him in danger not just with the ruthless boss of the criminal gang but the series of mutated sea creatures his experiments have created.

This was a rather fun if slightly flawed genre outing. One of the better elements of this one involves the film's use of mutations and not just a singular rampaging beast. The explanation here involving the extract from the drug causing mutations to occur involving the mutated shark/human hybrid, the bat-like creature, and the hammerhead/shrimp combination that show up here is quite inventive and manages to provide the kind of wide-ranging setup for the cheesy effects here showing the creatures operating in their environment. When it finally gets to the creature action at the end, it's fun but way too brief to be anything else than that with the focus turning to some cheesy shootouts and gore effects that provide the positives with the film. There are some issues to be had here. One of the main drawbacks here is the film's odd pacing to focus far more of the running time on the shady shenanigans of the drug operation rather than the shark action. The first half here is far more of a crime drama involving the undercover work of going through the motions detailing the rise of the new kingpin and how he took over the streets while his undercover work gets him in good standing within the organization. Beyond a brief appearance here or there involving some mention of the mutations being employed by the doctor, that's all the horror that takes place here which means that a lot more of the running time than should be necessary is kept away from the creature action into a separate genre entirely that doesn't have much interest involved. As well, there's also the expected factor in this kind of film where there's no denying how silly and outright shoddy the effects are. The effects of the stop-motion creatures are all obvious and look exactly like that while the CGI carries some bargain-basement style work here of the immobile creature in its environment changing shape or dimensions whenever the scene calls for it. Coupled with the guerilla-style indie production style here that makes everything look cheaper than it should or making use of locations taken without permission, the constant technical issues, and nonsensical storylines, these should be taken into consideration here since they're expected and not truly detrimental.

The reviews I read for it say it's the exact same formula he always uses just with a terrible cgi cat thrown in at random places.

Anyway, this would probably be a 3.5 on a regular scale, but I'm rating it on the Ferguson Bell Curve so it's a 4.

Laughably bad movie but highly entertaining. Beware the shark/lobster hybrid. Probably based on a Godzilla critter. The villains are supposed to be from Latin America but are a couple white dudes the casting director probably found in a local bar. The mysterious femme fatale from Belgium has zero accent. She's probably the bar maid. Fake blood made from jello. On so on. In these days of bad news and doom scrolling a really good trashy movie can provide fun. Can't wait til Rifftraks jumps on this party boat. If you're watching this film you're a fan of weird mutant animal films. As far as tge genre goes this one was watchable.

No pun intended - I really try to avoid giving 1 out of 10 if possible. I am accused of being too nice when it comes to rating movies. I just couldn't ... well this really fails on many if not all respects when it comes to movies ... or what a movie should be and how they are made and should look like.

Editing, "acting" and the story (that I reckon is non existent) ... add to that Windows Screensaver effects ... and you have a "winner" - I am being sarcastic ... and I reckon that is a better joke than anything you will find here. All that said, I do understand if some people do like the low budget feel of this ... tough to watch to say the least ... Cocaine Bear becoming Citizen Kane in contrast ...

Oscar worthy performances, riveting plotlines and on screen chemistry between Neil and Persephone, amazing wardrobe/SFX, this movie had everything I expected and so much more. I was gripped from the opening scene.

I really appreciated the attention to detail that went into crab sharks character.

My only criticisms of this movie were the improper mask wearing in the laboratory - this seems very irresponsible in a post pandemic film, as well as how long the opening credits were, it felt like it disturbed the tension and broke the immersion a little, which was a little disappointing after such an intense introduction scene.

'Cocaine Shark' is an absolute masterpiece. It's terrible graphics and low-budget acting makes it just so funny, I laughed so hard when I saw this. I highly recommend this movie if you want to laugh with friends, or want to spend time with other people. When I watched this, I burst out into laughing with my friends and family. This movie still has me talking with my friends about it, and we sometimes want to rewatch it, the movie is THAT memorable. This is an absolute must watch. If you do decide to watch this, only watch it with other people, not by yourself. It won't be as funny, and it will be a waste of time

In conclusion, the movie was terrible. It has bad acting and bad graphics, but watching it with other people makes it much more funny.

10/10.

It feels like a college project, its quite funny, made me laugh. Put it on for the kids and had a laugh🤣. Its not well made but it has its heart 10/10 would watch again with my kids. This movie feels like cocaine bear but much more family friendly for me and my family, even the kids weren't scared. LOL i enjoy the homemade feel to it compared to these corporations making scary movies for profit, as a christian mother i dont appreciate other scary movies being shown but this is something, even I could put on for christmas. Thank you for blessing the christain homes of of many. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Sorry i just love emojis, god bless you all and have a nice day.

People keep saying that it's horrible, bad acting, a "parody," and how it's supposed to be satire. Their wrong. This movie is what helped me realize that cocaine was okay. If I can become a shark because of cocaine, life is better. The acting was phenomenal, the pace, the soundtrack, the cinematography. Perfect. Just perfect. It's not satire it's art. If you cant see that you need to think more critically. I would give it an 11 but I can't. Please warner brothers help make a sequel and please start making ur movies like this. THIS is even better than "Thundermans Return." Thank you and have a nice day!
