    Disgusting

    I've seen TERRIBLE movies. Extreme emphasis on terrible. I need to wash my eyes out after this. It was five minutes in and I already had so much criticism about it. This looks like it was edited by a baby. 1. Submarines don't just go down directly, they submerge slowly. 2. Water doesn't look like that. 3. Props are terrible. 4. The acting makes me want to barf. 5. The camera is shaking. 6. Last but certainly not least the clothing, makeup, and hair is terrible? Who dressed them? The undead? I can see why they call it a comedy. I CACKLED at everything terrible. Can't see why it was a horror though. I'm 13 and I can act WAY better than them. The actors need YEARS of classes. The transitions were horrible as well.

    worse than garbage!

    I decided to give it a go, thinking it was going to be just another SYFY channel film that's cheesy but watchable, how the hell this got 3.7 stars is beyond me, I'd rather watch the contents of my daughters nappy. Unlike things like the "Mega Shark" films this has no redeeming qualities at all. It's filled with anachronisms like someone wearing Adidas trainers in 1942 among other things and the CGI was probably done on something like a commodore 64. Worse than the "special effects" is the acting. Seriously, it stinks so badly that I couldn't bear it any longer and turned off after 5 minutes. If you're thinking of watching this, save yourself the aggro. Any time you spend watching this rubbish is time you will never get back.

    Low budget film but fun enough.

    This film is a classic Z-class production that pays homage to the smallest budget cinema. We have the following topics: crazy doctor, Frankenstein's monster, Nazis, a shark and a group of actors each worse off whose mission is to entertain us for the hour and twenty that the film lasts. Greta Volkova, the main character, has the same versatility as a porn actress trying to make a serious film. Still the film entertains if we accept the rules of the genre; If our expectations are consistent with the film, this one will not disappoint us.

    At least it was short.

    Of course there's bad acting and terrible cgi, what would you expect? I didn't expect one of the 3 kids to have gray hair, wearing his hat sideways to appear young and another to be a stripper in a one piece bathing suit acting like an intellectual prude. That helped distract me from the lack of story and action. There is a giant plot hole that I won't mention because I don't want to spoil it but over all it's exactly what you would expect from a movie with this name. I'm not sure why they say it's a comedy but I did laugh once.

    Shark experiments gone horribly wrong...

    I was initially intrigued by the somewhat interesting and nicely made movie cover for "Sharkenstein", but when I started to watch it I knew that this was going to be a stinker. It is hard to fathom that movies like this are still being made, and we are now writing 2016.

    I made it 10 minutes into the movie before I was ready to end it all. I just gave up out of sheer hopelessness and a lack of will to go on. This movie was bad, unbelievably bad in every aspect.

    The CGI animated shark was so poorly made that it was a literal eyesore to witness. And with CGI effects so poor, a creature feature is just doomed to fail horribly.

    The acting in the movie was as to be expected. It was wooden, rigid and stiff at best. And from the 10 minutes I watched, then I just knew that there was not going to be anyone capable of salvaging this train wreck of a movie.

    I will not be giving "Sharkenstein" a second chance, because there literally is nothing entertaining or worth wasting an hour and thirteen minutes on here. Sure, it had a really good movie cover, but it just proves that you can't judge a movie by its cover!

    It is rare that I actually give up on a movie. Which just indicates that a movie has to be unfathomably horrible and boring, which was the case with "Sharkenstein".

    Stay well clear of this one.
