An Inconvenient Tooth: Sharkwater (2006) #SharkWeak3🦈 #Review

Bad shark movies are a lot of fun, but behind all the hyped-up mega predator nonsense, the fact of the matter that when it comes down to it, it’s us humans who are the real monsters.

In 2006, Canadian diver and cinematographer Rob Stewart set out to study sharks in the wild and understand their role in the ecosystem. During the course of filming the documentary, Rob uncovers a massive shark…

The third dimension is terrible! Jaws 3-D (1983) #SharkWeak3 #Review

It’s clear from the moment the opening credits start that something has gone very wrong with the “Jaws” franchise. Everything instantly looks cheaper as the new production team bring in a tackier, naffer aesthetic to the whole set-up. Director Joe Alves is certainly no Steven Spielberg and he’s not even a Jeannot Swarzc but then he doesn’t really get to direct this film at all – it’s directed by…

There's something really fishy about Dolph Lundgren 'starring' lakeside thriller Shark Lake (2015) #SharkWeak3 #Review

Far from the high concept carcharodon carry-on of the likes of “6-Headed Shark Attack” or “Sharkenstein”, “Shark Lake” sets out to position itself as a gritty and grounded shark thriller. A gritty and ground shark thriller which begins with Clint Gray (Dolph Lundgren), a rare animal smuggler, going on the run with a bull shark in the back of a van. Yep.

The van crashes into the lake and the…

Six times the head, one sixth of the fun. 6-Headed Shark Attack (2018) #SharkWeak3 #Review

Skulking in the shadows of the mode headline-grabbing “Sharknado” series, another franchise has been chomping its way through people’s precious time and now finds itself on its fourth instalment and sixth head. “6-Headed Shark Attack” continues the series’ strong theme of having absolutely no connection to the previous movies save for one-upping the headcount and this time our toothy terror is…

Aatank (1996) is the Bollywood bad boy of bad shark movies. #SharkWeak3 #Review

When “Jaws” shattered box office records and blew minds in 1975, it inspired countless imitations but maybe none took as long to swim their way into cinema screens as India’s 1996 epic “Aatank”. Started in the early 1980s, it went through a couple of directors, various producers, rewrites, reshoots and even body doubles to finish the epic struggle of man versus crime boss – oh, and shark.

Childh…

Trailer Park Shark (2017) is great white trailer trash. #SharkWeak3 #Review

By now I’m used to sharksploitation movies being garbage, but “Trailer Park Shark” takes it to a whole new level of Great White trash. Oh, and to save you some time, if you’re thinking of watching this because it ‘stars’ “Sharknado” leading lady Tara Reid, be aware she’s hardly in it at all.

When the residents of a struggling trailer park down find themselves swept up in a plot by a crooked…

This is one fish tale that's hard to swallow. Megalodon (2018) #SharkWeak3 #Review

Star names are no rarity when it comes to bad shark movies, but there are two distinct styles the genre adopts. Some, like say Kirsty Swanson in “Swamp Shark” are in the movie for the long haul whereas others, like Michael Madsen in this movie, were obviously filmed in a couple of hours one morning when he threw on a jumpsuit mumbled his way through the script, grabbed his cheque and headed home.
