Psycho Shark (2009)


Psycho Shark (2009)
Two college students take a trip to the beach to enjoy a weekend away from their classes, only to find themselves stranded at an isolated hotel. They are given video cameras to film their time, but one of the girls finds clues that they may be in danger. Psycho Shark is a 2009 Japanese horror movie directed by John Hijiri. Despite the title, Psycho Shark features almost no shark scenes and instead has a confusing plot that focuses more on showcasing bikini-clad ladies and a shark-worshipping cult than on shark attacks. The plot borrows heavily from The Ring but lacks the tension and coherent storyline to make this movie enjoyable. Psycho Shark looks more like a voyeur film than a serious horror movie. The film was initially titled Jaws in Japan, but the blatant attempt to ride on the success of the most popular shark movie likely forced the film's name change. Psycho Shark has nothing to offer viewers besides an hour and ten minutes of subtitles, stereotypical Japanese ladies, and too many creepy shots of their bikini-clad bodies.
