Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
zee Almost as funny as this movie are the one-star reviews here where people took it seriously and were affronted that it's bad. Folks, it's supposed to be bad. It's pastiche. It's a comedy. It may not be a comedy at the level of Airplane or Tremors but it did make me laugh aloud a half-dozen times. And compared to how often I laugh at many Hollywood rom-coms, this thing wins, fins down.The place I probably laughed the loudest is when the brainless MTV dance party kids are dancing, a coed about to strip off her bikini top gets eaten, and the drug dealer who enticed her to take off the top is splattered with blood. He throws his hands up and shrieks … and , obediently, all the brain-dead dance party teens throw their hands up and shriek/whoo as cued. It's so perfectly encapsulates the hive mind of such kids, who I've always loathed, and it was cultural critique, imo, and funny at two levels. C'mon, how is that not funny?The puns are groan-worthy. The acting is broad on purpose. To drive home the point about it being a pastiche, Roger Corman is mentioned in the dialogue. I think it's far better than Sharknado.
Michael O'Keefe Mark Atkins directs this 'ripoff' of any film from the JAWS franchise. To be exact, the story line is a typical mix of any handful of shark attack flicks. The idyllic island of White Sands is the scene of gruesome attacks by ocean creatures deemed to be 'sand sharks' that have the ability to 'walk on land' or swim through sand. Dr. Sandy Powers(Brooke Hogan)is called in to identify and verify the predators. Trying to bring back party activity to the area, a huckster named Jimmy Green(Corin Nemec)plans to organize the mother of all beach parties. However the teenage party-goers have no idea that an underwater earthquake has cracked open the ocean's surface unleashing menacing creatures. Two local cops, John Stone(Eric Scott Woods) and his daughter Brenda(Vanessa Evigan)try to clear the hapless fun seekers from the beach before they become meals for the 'sand sharks'.Over the top acting, terrible special effects and cheesy script make for a jaw breaking laugh riot. Embarrassingly funny. Also getting screen time: Gina Holden, Andrea Pineda, Julie Marie Berman and Robert Pike Daniel. Filmed primarily on Catalina Island, California. Rated R due to bloody violence.
movieman_kev Jimmy Green (Corin Nemec of Parker Lewis Can't Lose fame), a con-man always up for a quick buck whom convinces his dad the Mayor to hold a beach rave while sand sharks are gobbling up people, is the one (questionable) slightly bright-point in yet another Asylum made turd. His charisma makes one almost (but not quite) forget, or excuse, how shoddy this typical bad Asylum is. The thing is that it's still better than 98% of what that atrocious studio craps out year in and year out.I know, I know, not a ringing endorsement but with movies that premiere on SyFy, one has to go in with vastly diminished expectations in order to derive something, anything, good from said picture. Lest we go mad.My Grade; D
rhew1232-543-910272 I love ridiculous movies - funny movies - stupid movies . This movie is just terrible even if it was meant to be terrible . I found my kids watching it and even they said to me we need to turn this thing off. Do Not in any way turn this movie on for fear of brain damage. It may very well end up being a cult type film especially in Colorado and Washington State in the near future as they may be more apt to enjoy said film while treating their ailments. For them it will be a great way to enjoy the legalities afforded to them recently - The rest of America would be better served to "just say no" to this movie until the laws are changed in their respective states.
