Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Aki Savolainen Yes, to some the summary/title of this review might seem to contradict the vote of 3 I have given this movie, but before I pushed play I was honestly expecting something much worse.Of course this is schlock. Of course the acting is not good, to say the least. Of course you know the contents of this movie just by reading the title. But I have seen Leeches, and Megalodon, and Spice World, and The Room. I have scraped the bottom of the barrel. I have looked into the abyss of movie-making and seen it blink. And when Spring Break Shark Attack panned out to be a movie that is NOT cynical and more aware of it's budget restraints than the viewer, it received to instant plus- marks in my book. Bikinis are thankfully not the main attraction here, the script has been given a bit more than a passing thought, and the amount of attempt witnessed here is to be appreciated.This movie is what you can expect with such a title, yet all the obvious roadside annoyances of such low-quality movies have been successfully erased. An educating view for fans of B-or-worse-movies or those who like animals eating jerks.
Paul Andrews Spring Break Shark Attack starts as cute teenager Danielle Harrison (Shannon Lucio) decides to disobey her father & head down to Florida for the spring break to be with her friends, while there Danielle hooks up with her Shark expert brother & meets the likable & handsome Shane (Riley Smith) who works for his mum renting out fishing boats. Seagull Beach is a popular hangout with the locals looking to party although an artificial man made reef has attracted lots of wildlife to the area including lots of man eating Tiger Shark's who start feasting on anyone they come across in the water. Danielle, Shane & her brother discover the truth but the authorities won't listen & a full blown Shark attack on Seagull Beach & everyone there seems only a matter of time...Also known under th title Dangerous Waters: Shark Attack outside the US this Soth African & American co-production was directed by Paul Shapiro & is yet another really awful 'Creature Feature' from the Sci-Fi Channel that manages to be just that little bit worse than usual, imagine a mind numbingly bad cross between Dawson's Creek (1998-2003) & Jaws (1975) & you still wouldn't be close. The majority of Spring Break Shark Attack concentrates on teen angst & their problems like fights with over protective parents, dating, peer pressure, making the right decision & even date rape with the Shark attack angle coming in a very distant & lonely second, the Shark attack angle actually feels more like an afterthought & the sub soap opera dramatics feel like they were given priority. The Shark attack scenes are awful, there's no build-up or tension & no pay-off whatsoever as they are as tame as they come. The whole thing is very predictable (gee, I wonder if that Shark repellent device Danielle's brother is working on will be used later on?), the character's are awful, the dialogue is poor & it's just terrible with a really slow pace that makes you just want to press the fast-forward button. Spring Break Shark Attack isn't even any fun in a it's so bad it's good, it's just insultingly bad in all aspects.As already mentioned the Shark attack scenes are amongst the worst I've seen, there obviously wasn't a special effects budget & as such most of the Shark footage seems lifted from a wildlife documentary & the actor's are never seen with them, only the typical fin above water is shown at the same time & there are maybe two shots of a fake Shark as well otherwise it's people splashing around a lot & not much else. There's no real gore here, a bit of blood in the water & a couple of bite marks but nothing else, the original Jaws is gorier than this.Although set in California this was apparently shot in Cape Town in South Africa, the scenery is nice enough but a beach is a beach no matter where it is, right? The acting is bad, really bad although a few of the girls are quite cute I suppose. Respected Australian actor Bryan Brown probably needed the money & fancied a free holiday in South Africa.Spring Break Shark Attack is a mind numbingly bad 'Creature Feature' of the worst kind, far too much tedious drama & too little Shark attack. This isn't even any fun, it's just a boring chore to sit through of the highest sloppiest & most predictable kind. Even die hard 'Creature Feature' fans will have a hard time liking this.
zizou-real Oh my god! its not much to say about this awful film! the start of the film is boring, and maybe a half hour later you will Se a bunch of girls in bikini runigen around on a boat or a beach doesn't Mather what but they are screaming cause some stock footage and fake sharks is trying to eat them! The sharks are so god damn bad made even the CGI sharks are almost worse then the sharks in deep blue sea!!!!!! And 2 the acting is just awful no one of the actors has been in a film school! The only good things in this film is the ending scene on the beach when the tiger sharks attacks them!!!!! But..... Its a TV film so you cant think that its a true masterpiece. 3/10
herminator64 Eric Peterson who commented this movie before me must have some thing to do with this film, because i cant believe anyone giving this a 10 out of 10. Its really av bad movie with some nice chicks, and micro thrills. Regret that i saw it, a waste of time.I'll give it 3 out of 10 because its not the worst movie I have seen, but not far from it either. It could maybe entertain young people as they don't see a movie like adults.I almost forgot the bad effects and sharks looking like stiff plastic. Mainly the movie is about some young girls and a couple of boys hanging out on spring break. There isn't as much shark thrills as expected. i cant believe someone would spend money on making such a bad movie, as it has a lot of statists and effect, though they are bad just like my English. Sorry for that.Summary: Se Jaws instead!
