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.

For those that like low budget movies this one would be too up market for you.

For those that suffer ultra low budget movies along with a beer and chips this would suit you. I thought it was a comedy but it is shown as a Horror Sci fi.

If you are aware of Sharknado it was a low budget film.

Perhaps the producers had some money (coins only) left over from the making of Sharknado and made the movie 'Zombie Shark'.

I have just sat through some of the corniest, dumbest, most idiotic comments, scenes and action sequences associated with a film .....EVER.

I actually missed a bit of the movie. I went away and did the dishes, came back and realised I had missed 'bugger all'.

It would be difficult to pick holes in this 'comedy, horror' movie as it is just one large hole although the ladies would be attractive to unmarried men I am told.

However, if you have 1 hour and 15 minutes of your life to waste laughing, shaking your head in disbelief while drinking (lots of drinking) I still might not recommend this movie unless you had started drinking beforehand.

To prepare yourself for the 'Zombie Shark' experience I suggest you watch "The Blob', 'Them', perhaps a teen movie and only then subject your last few working brain cells to 'Zombie Shark'.

For those that wish to suffer 'Zombie Shark' the movie you MUST watch the last 3 minutes.

In fact rent it if only for the last 3 minutes.

"Zombie Shark" is one of those types of movies that are so bad that it is actually fun to watch. And it makes you wonder just who comes up with the idea for such a movie.

As a movie shown on the SyFy Channel then you know exactly what you are getting yourself into, both entertainment-wise and effect-wise.

A group of young people travel to an exotic Island for a vacation, but they come to an island where the waters are filled with zombie sharks, and soon the infection spreads to land.

Yep, it is yet another one of those wacky movies that SyFy Channel is widely known for. And you either hate them for the questionable movies that they might be, or you love it for its glorious campy cheesiness.

The effects in "Zombie Shark" was awful, especially the CGI animations. It just baffled me that a movie made in 2015 can have such inadequate, outdated and lousy CGI effects.

As for the acting, well, it was as to be expected. And with Jason London at the lead, you were in for a fun, albeit campy shark thrill-ride.

All in all, a fun enough movie if you enjoy these SyFy Channel movies.

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.
