Shark Lake (2015)

 

Shark Lake (2015)

A police officer in a lakeside community faces some challenges when her adopted daughter's criminal father is released from prison. She also learns that his hobby of dealing with dangerous animals puts their town at risk when shark attacks begin to occur. Starring Dolph Lundgren, Shark Lake looks like one of the many terrible shark films made by SyFy or The Asylum, but don't let that fool you, as this is a decent action thriller. While the film does look like one of the many "sharks in the lake" movies, the story focuses more on the struggle of a young mother trying to protect her adopted daughter from the recently paroled father. The film does suffer from poorly done shark CGI and some absurd kills, but overall this film is quite a surprise given the multitude of terrible shark movies that swarm the streaming clients.

Shark Exorcist (2015)

Shark Exorcist (2015)

A small community faces horrific deaths after a curse is put upon them by an evil Nun who summons a demonic shark to seek revenge. Shortly after, a young bikini-clad lady swimming in the lake gets bitten by the possessed shark and begins to draw hapless victims for the shark to feast on while a priest tries to exorcise the demonic spirits. This Wild Eye film was released in 2015, and as with most of their movies, you have crazy ideas, poorly done makeup effects, and actors who look great but offer nothing more. Like many low-budget CGI-driven shark movies, Shark Exorcist offers nothing beyond its gimmicky name and cool-looking poster. One of the worst movies released in the past decade, Shark Exorcist makes the SyFy and Asylum movie libraries resemble A24 productions.

Jersey Shore Shark Attack (2012)

 

Jersey Shore Shark Attack (2012)

Jersey Shore locals find their laid-back life of partying threatened by wealthy developers looking to turn their beloved boardwalk into an elitist country club. Yet the real threat to all comes from the army of sharks that descend on their beaches due to the construction. This SyFy movie parody of the MTV reality show showcases several look-alike characters who behave similarly to their real-life counterparts. The stereotyped antics o these young people put them at odds with local law enforcement and preppy rivals who regularly conflict with them. The rest of the cast includes some mafia movie regulars, including Paul Sorvino and Tony Sirico. While not a serious horror movie, the parody aspect does make this shark film stand out as a satire on reality shows. The major faults with this movie are the amateurish CGI sharks used. They look too much like cartoons and behave in ways that real sharks would not. Despite this, the movie is silly enough to enjoy if you are a fan of the Jersey Shore phenomena or enjoy silly shark movies.

The Last Shark (1981)

The Last Shark (1981)

The surprising success of Jaws resulted in many copycat movies, including many featuring all sorts of water-borne predators. One of the most blatant examples was an Italian-made horror film initially titled Great White and later renamed The Last Shark. The film features a windsurfing competition, borrowing much from Jaws, including the small town needing tourist dollars, greedy business people, and a crusty fisherman played by Vic Morrow, who might as well be Roberts Shaw's twin brother. The movie's plot follows the style of Jaws in so many ways. Paramount sued the producers after the first week when it made over $18 million. Despite being pulled from distribution due to claims of plagiarism, The Last Shark would get a home video release 30 years later, with a version featured in a Rifftrax episode. In an ironic twist, The Last Shark would also be plagiarized by the 1995 film Cruel Jaws also known as Jaws 5.
