Zombie Shark

Before the credits, a beautiful woman is consumed by a shark while rafting. We (later) assume this happened at Red Plum Island, an isolated resort area. After the credits, prominently-figured barmaid Cassie Steele (as Amber Steele) and her likewise brunette little sister Sloane Coe (as Sophie "Soph" Steele) decide to go there for a vacation. Making it a quartet are Ms. Steele's boating boyfriend Ross Britz (as Jenner Branton) and beautiful, bosomy blonde Becky Andrews (as Bridgette), a friend looking to score a cabana boy...

After arriving, the foursome meet rotund, jovial host Roger J. Timber (as Lester). He tries to downplay the dreariness of the quarters and the lack of hot male companionship available for Ms. Andrews...

In an arousing bikini, Andrews goes down to the beach. She and the beach-goers discover a dead shark has washed ashore. With a ferocious taste for human flesh, it comes to life as a "Zombie Shark". The zombie sharks are being hunted by shark followers Jason London (as Maxwell "Max" Cage) and Laura Cayouette (as Diane Palmer). Directed by Misty Talley and written by Greg Mitchell, this combines the "shark" and "zombie" genres. An interesting variation, but the shaky camera and cheap editing make it look stupid.

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.

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.

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 provides hilarious kills and ridiculous dialogue, keeping with the fun, campy vibes of the Syfy creature films. But for some reason, Zombie Shark just doesn't entertain the way I had hoped. Even though it has plenty of cheesy moments that were so bad they were funny (which are some of the best parts of these films), overall, the movie was very underwhelming, and the "character development" between kills was dreadful. Ultimately, Zombie Shark is a mid-tier campy shark film that is a funny watch but sadly doesn't live up to the glorious heights of a movie like Sharknado or Ghost Shark.
