The story made only the vaguest of sense. It was strong at the beginning of the movie, and I had such high hopes for it, but by the end the movie had lost what little plot it had. The story plots were highly predictable and the shark model was more entertaining than scary.
That being said this is a great bad movie to watch with your friends who also enjoy terrible shark movies. While a terrible movie it was great entertainment.

I saw this movie and came to rate it. To my surprise I discovered this movie was originally a shark movie?!? I saw it with a Dream-dwealing Water-witch as a vilan... Can't say the movie is exactly the same, doubtfully, but some inconsistencies now start to make sense. It's scary and insulting to the crew that they decided "we'll transform this shark movie into a witch movie for Europe!". It makes me wonder how they sold it in Japan, an Octopus Hentai movie? Anyway, it's very weak, actors did try tho.
Granted, I have to admit that I wasn't exactly harboring much of any expectations to this 2018 movie titled "Nightmare Shark", given the movie's title and the fact that most shark movies are laughable attempts at movie making at best.
However, with "Nightmare Shark" being a movie that I hadn't already seen, nor actually ever heard about, and given my fascination with shark movies, then of course I had to sit down and watch it.
And I made it just a bit more than halfway through the ordeal that is "Nightmare Shark" from writer Griff Furst. Talk about a ridiculous storyline. There was nothing in the storyline that appealed to me, and it was soul-breaking to sit through and witness such ludacrous writing would actually make a transition from script to screen.
I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, though actor Bobby Campo seemed very familiar somehow. I have to say that the actresses and actors in the movie literally had nothing to work with in terms of script, character gallery and dialogue, and it was restricting their performances.
Visually then you're not in for anything grand. The special effects in "Nightmare Shark" were exactly that; special. The CGI effects in the movie looked like something regurgitated from a 1990s computer game.
If you enjoy shark movies, like I do, do yourself a favor and stay clear of this one. It just simply isn't worth the time, money or effort.
My rating of directors Griff Furst and Nathan Furst's 2018 TV movie "Nightmare Shark" lands on a generous two out of ten stars, and that is solely because of the production value of the movie.

Lol this totally sucked I mean was it suppose to be scary? NOT. Like at all. So dumb. However I gave it 2 stars instead of one cuz yes we went to rent a comedy and they didn't have any and this is definitely an unintentional comedy at least....
It skips so much between dream and reality that, at the end, you don't know if the whole thing was a dream or not.
