Swamp Shark

Awesome product

A new plot - there is going to be a Gator Fest so don't tell anyone there is a killer shark swimming around it might ruin the economy of our depressed area. I know, I get tired of the don't tell anyone deal too, but this time it's because the sheriff is a bad guy and he is responsible for it getting loose. A better reason than normal - the sheriff doesn't want to go to jail. Good B movie cast Kristy Swanson (the original Buffy out to slay a shark this time), D.B. Sweeney and Robert Davi. Davi, the bad guy sheriff, pretends not to buy Kristy's story of a shark eating all her gators at her gator shack restaurant, after a local's body parts turn up chewed. She sets out with family, friends and a jerk boyfriend to get the shark and have her restaurant opened again. Fun and entertaining movie with a few annoying characters (bait). I was torn between a three for okay, but I kind of enjoyed it too - so add the fourth star for having a decent cast and of course dumb situations so you don't take it too seriously.

I just love SciFi movies. This movie takes place in the swamps of a small Louisiana town. It's impossible but a shark has invaded their swamp and eaten their alligators they have at their restaurant as an "attraction". Kristy Swanson and her family, who owns the restaurant, goes out to hunt this shark down that no one else believes exists. Watch to see what happens and who gets eaten.

A member of the police force secretly has a shark brought in by water tank truck to be an exibit for the town gator festival. What he hadn't plan on was for the shark to break loose and enter the swamp. While the cops are keeping quiet about their little accident its up to the owners and friends of a swamp side diner to go shark hunting. Especially when the sister of one of the waitresses out on a boat with a bunch of party kids and become as trapped by the shark as the kids sailing their boats in Jaws 2.

Two words - unbelievably bad. Dialog, script, acting - pick one - they all qualify!

Sharks make great monsters in real life as well as in the movies. They are usually in the oceans off the coast of Florida or California but to have them in a swamp area; well that is something to see.

this movie is stupid but cool the stupid part is that the shrieff saw the shark said that their is no shark.and the black guy was too drunk to notice the shark and got eaten,idiot.and the one deputy was a prevert and got eaten.and the girl's boyfriend was acting like a complete jerk and got eaten.and finally when the sister went on the boat the guy who invited her destoried the radio and therw her phone in the water and thank goodness he died.so the shark is a good guy by killing the stupid people in the movie.But,the movie is good it has gore,creature violence,and the most important thing a good ending.so do good reviews ok.

"Swamp Shark" is another aquatic romp that's been done better many times before, but from the vantage point of a lover of cinematic cheese is still a cause for celebration. The film opens with a corrupt sheriff (Robert Davi) running an illegal rare animal smuggling operation when a giant shark gets out of a tanker truck and jumps into the Louisiana swamp. What could possibly go wrong? While the acting is generally awful throughout, the individual scenes are often almost breathtakingly poetic in their beauty. I offer as an example the very special "whiskey retrieval scene" which is not to be missed. It turns out that sharks like people in canoes. Or on houseboats. Or standing within 10 miles of the shore. You get the picture. Though there is no nudity or really anything objectionable here the romance angles are sickly sweet and ultra-contrived. Be prepared to laugh at the awkwardness all the way around. In keeping with the genre, it's time for the "Tenth Annual Gatorfest," which is pretty lame even as Gatorfests go, and there is the typical debate about shutting it down or not due to the fishy threat. The police gator patrol, meanwhile, is particularly ineffective at their job. It turns out that our heroes, restauranteur Rachael (Kristy Swanson) and her sister Krystal (Sophie Sinise, yes, Gary's daughter in her dramatic debut) along with various brothers, boyfriends, and the leader of the undercover "Fish and Wildlife SWAT Team" end up either imperiled, imperiling others or themselves, and occasionally menacing a shark in a variety of humorous ways. (Did I mention this is a very rare shark with an exoskeleton?...Oh never mind.) After the least likely escape from the law in history, Krystal turns out to be the least skanky girl in the movie, all while figuring out how to outsmart a fish with a brain the size of a walnut. After the annoying boyfriends get munched and guzzled (and not a moment too soon) there are novel choking scenes and a dune buggy tussle that are not to be missed. The film concludes with the cast assembling a bomb made from fish and a propane tank and trying to shove it down the shark's throat while sniper Rachael shoots it. (I seem to recall something like that in a movie before...now where was that?) No matter: the resultant and wholly expected toothy smackdown of the evil sheriff is a thing of hilarious beauty. I will tell you that the fish bomb produced an unexpected result, but I won't tell you how the shark is ultimately dispatched as it's a high point of the film. "Swamp Shark" is in the middle of the pack for contemporary outlandishly ridiculous sea creature films. The special effects are especially poor, which provides one rich layer of the tapestry that makes the film what it is. When you combine the plot, the acting, the romance, and the armored shark in a swamp, it's hard not to appreciate the film, even if only on a very primeval level.

great acting and special effects

I really enjoy this one! It's got some Cajun feel to it, which I like, especially the music, & I like the characters. This is a better than average B movie, & I will enjoy it for years to come. I definitely recommend it!
