The acting, cinematography, and editing aren't even that bad; the characters simply don't engage in anything exciting, despite a flurry of action sequences and shark attacks.

Hilariously bad (and therefore entertaining) Z- grade shark horror.

The title takes a back seat to some boring conspiracy mumbo-jumbo.

I didn't expect to see a Jaws, but at least the story should have been better acted.

It isn’t the worst shark movie out there (thanks to an surprisingly solid cast) but it’s an very forgettable thriller that forgets its a creature feature from time to time

I found this a fun shark movie even though the story takes it's time to kick in. Doesn't deserve a 0% score will never be as good as jaws.

Another shark movie, this time set to a story worthy of a diagnosis murder episode and featuring Johnny Rico himself on a mission to solve the murder of a friend. By the end the sharks and their titular attacks play second fiddle to a tale of shady economics and gunplay but it still makes for good lazy Sunday B-movie fodder.

★1/2 (out of four) It's strange because I really like sharks and I really like the idea of a good shark movie. Too bad "Jaws" has been the only one worth a dime. Maybe its partially because all these low-budget rip-offs can't actually afford the money to put real looking sharks into the film. The thin plot of this one stars Casper Van Dien. In South Africa the hammerhead shark is starting to mount unprovocked attacks. Some think demons are involved while others think its because of experiments that have been done. Low budgeted and boring with few moments of interest. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/Zeppo1/SharkAttack.jpg[/IMG]

Forget staying clear from the water, you need to stay clear from this film. The sequels sink to deeper depths ~ Beware!
