It is literally EXACTLY what you think it will be.

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.

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!!

To everyone involved in making such movies, what makes you do it?

Usually I can at least have a laugh at this rubbish. I couldn't even laugh at this one. The acting is not even acting. It is appallingly. Everyone involved in this piece of crap should never be allowed to step foot near a film protect again. However, if you are looking for fat chics in bikinis, you've come to the right place. WARNING: Don't press play.

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.

If you haven't seen Ouija Shark, your life has no meaning. After watching this masterpiece, I have emeraged as a different man and my life has improved dramatically. This movie has saved my marriage and I owe my life to whoever made this brilliant movie. My lord Jesus Christ has been replaced by the Ouija Shark and I now worship the almighty Ouija Shark.

Meeting up with her girlfriends, a woman brings along a piece of ouija board for their games but when they realize they've summoned the spirit of an ancient man-eating shark and loosened it upon their world she's forced to turn to her paranormal-expert father to stop it before her friends are killed.

While objectively terribly made, this was quite fun in spots. That when approached in the right mindset, a lot of fun can be made out of the sheer lunacy of the sequences throughout here. The idea of using an ouija board to summon a killer shark which then goes on a rampage in the community forcing them to stop it is utterly insane and ridiculous in every conceivable way yet this manages to fully explore this idea quite nicely. That the goofiness starts with the scene of it getting released through the girls' seance with it getting loose in the middle of their session is quite fun as that allows the film to get going early on and providing quite a lot to like with this setup. This setup is quite enjoyable with the film playing off the concept of the corporeal spirit of the shark running loose and snatching people in wholly unexpected locations. Floating through the area snatching up a young couple out hiking in the woods, sneaking up on people in alleyways or chasing them through the woods manage to come off with as much logical sense as required as for why they would be attacked by a shark which not only generates a couple of decent attacks but also a lot of laughs from the outright cheesy puppet used. These are all played quite obviously for the cheesy nature they were intended to be, making for a goofy time to be had for those that appreciate and enjoy this style. That said, there are some issues with the film. The most obvious is the wholly cheap and ridiculous look to the film that screams low-budget indie effort. From the backyard-shot production values, simplistic sequences designed to pad out the running time or simply letting scenes play out long past their purpose which looks like wholly improvised pieces of dialogue and discussion, there's no denying how cheap this comes off. Even repeating shots or using that silly-looking puppet for the shark that looks rather clumsy and unnatural with it's stiff and immobile appearance making it quite obvious what's going on. The other issue to be had here is the few series on incidental elements that tend to strip the film of some of its logical throughput. The one girl showing up to then immediately leave the group to spend time with the neighbor is pointless making her inclusion unnecessary, while the idea of what happens in the finale is severely ludicrous as well as quite underwhelming. It fits in terms of what's going on in the story, yet it still feels rushed, unexplained and doesn't come close to justifying what the final few scenes are trying to imply as they belong in a different movie altogether. As well, there's no blood or gore at all as nearly all the kills are off-screen without much in the way of bloodletting which would've added to the campy feeling. Otherwise, this one isn't that bad.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Violence.

Either use this as a torture technique or give to someone you hate. My ailing family memeber said pull the plug. Its that bad. The only decent scene is the horrible cgi/green screen of the shark hand puppet. The only great scene is the ending of the credits.

This is just embarrassing. 99% of the budget must have gone to the poster and title which make it seem like it is at least possible this could be worth watching or at least funny. But no this is horrible in every way possible. A terrible script if there even is one at all, actors who are clearly just a group of friends who decided one day "let's make a movie!" and the lowest technical quality you can imagine. Why would you people even make this? Don't you feel any embarrassment?

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 didn't have to watch the movie, just the trailer and I know this one of the worst movies ever. What the hell did the director have in mind? I hope no one spends money on this.

I dont know who rewied thi crap with 10 points but its a worst horror movie i have ever seen. Like the way the are speaking in movie its way beginners .. like a school movie they made i think but yeah i gave them one point for trying out and for that hard work they did .. also they act like they never had a partner before or sex. Seriously not worth it !

Even with the able assist from Rifftrax I still struggled to get through this dung heap. Bearing in mind that Ouija Shark is only slightly north of 60 minutes long.

Trying to figure out why these garbage home movies get made in the first place is the only real takeaway here. Who is actually spending money to make movies that could be used in Guantanamo Bay to replace water boarding?

Ouija Shark is a failure on every level. It's not funny, it's not clever, it's not even so bad it's good.

The dopes who made Ouija Shark probably think they're winking at the audience or something. Or maybe they're not, it's impossible to tell. The attempt at political satire at the end is actually embarrassing to watch. But I'm sure they thought it was real clever.

The whole genre of over the top exotic animal related horror / comedy / whatever was played out a loooong time ago. And here we are with a ghost shark chasing around 30 year old teenagers. Wow, what a knee slapper. Apparently Canada hasn't gotten the memo which is par for the course.

Possibly the worst movie ever made. A growling shark? Growling????? So bad, no words can describe. Anhorantly bad. Worse that a high school play . Even the bikini clad girls were overweight or homely. The shark was a floating ghost who growls like a Tiger. Sharks dont have vocal chords. OMG!!!!! Even a 10 year old would be offended.

Before you slate me - I believe that the majority of people are missing the point of "Ouija Shark" entirely. It serves its purpose as a comedy / thriller extremely well for when the circumstance presents like at a party or just to kill some time in the background while you scroll your phone... (not insinuating the people that gave this lower ratings don't get invited to parties..)

This movie will make you hate your entire existence!! It's not worth it!! Those involved in this movie needs to all go to jail...

Seriously!? I haven't laughed so hard since I got stoned for the first time!! It's bloody hilarious! For example, "besides, I'd like to catch some rays", puts sunglasses on leans back to relax and take in the sun even though they're sat at picnic table that is completely sheltered. How poor/lazy a writer and/or director do you have to be to not say "wait a minute, maybe we should have her go in the sun for that line, what do you reckon?".

Or when the shark is chasing the girl and she proceeds to hide behind a tree and, thinking out loud, says "he wants the groceries" and throws the bag of shopping on the floor. Yes my love, the carnivorous, flying ghost shark wants your shopping.

And the Dad, how good is the Dad??? Absolutely legendary performance.

I'd love to know how much these people get paid for this because if it's even half decent I'm getting involved. I know people always say "I could do that" in relation to things that they probably couldn't but this? Bloody hell, I could, you could, anyone could do what they do and probably better because there's no way anyone could be worse!!!

I have thrown it a bone and given it a 4 though because I really did find quite a few moments hysterical.

Albeit it's clear short comings, Ouija Shark did indeed give us an enjoyable adventure. Horror film with minimal gore. With it's near negligible budget it still managed to keep an entertained audience for the entirety of the movie. One that is self aware of its mediocrity in a more satirical sense. Unfortunately it is not a movie worth recommending in most cases due to its vague lack luster plot and it's often patchy acting, leaving there no character to root for. There were often scenes which added no benefit to character building or plot points. The death sequences in the film also lacked any aspect of gore, stealing from the horror movie vibe. Nevertheless the comical aura the movie held did a great deal in keeping us watching throughout. All in all I doubt I would watch this movie for a second time but i would certainly be interested in a sequel.
