Shark Zone (2003)

just watch it!

i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

And obviously, the people giving this film 1 & 2 star ratings, haven't. Anyone who watches any amount of horror/shock/scary movies at all, would know that the list of films worse than this one, is infinite. In fact, I just turned off one that bored me half to death, with pathetic shark/kill scenes and the acting in it...I've seen better High School plays. Someone pointed out the "mom" as being the worst actress in this film. Out of place... definitely and more befitting a brainless schlock movie featuring naked hotties.The rest of the nitpicking is just that...nitpicking. Watch more movies, nitpickers, and in particular some of the absolute rotting stench fests I've watched to review for various magazines and YouTube channels ...then come back and tell me this is the worst film. Not even close. Not worth paying more than $1 or two, to see, but definitely worth a watch if you can catch it for free. I can't say that about all free movies I've seen.

Right, well I found this movie in a discount bin and decided to give it a go, since it is a shark movie. I must admit that I had absolutely no expectations to the movie, because the vast majority of available shark movies turn out to be questionable attempts at best.Right, well with no expectations I couldn't get disappointed. Which was a good thing, because this movie had so many things wrong with it.The sharks in "Shark Zone" were growling. Seriously? Growling?! That was just fundamentally stupid on so many levels. Clearly it was done to make the sharks more scary, but that is not how it worked out. Instead, it just made it seem cheesy and downright ridiculous. Sharks are silent hunters and killers.I must admit that I was more than perplexed at how the scuba divers were able to talk underwater. Especially so when their breathing mouthpieces were clearly not designed to allow the divers to speak. That was just idiotic.It was hilarious to watch the divers in the helicopter wearing air tanks on their backs, but then when they jumped out of the helicopter these air tanks were magically gone. Could it be because they were using stock footage from somewhere and didn't even bother to take these missing aspects into consideration. Which happened a lot throughout the movie. There were so many continuity errors throughout "Shark Zone", mostly thanks to stock footage from documentaries being used in abundance here.Most of the shark sequences were also just stock footage from shark documentaries, and it was painstakingly clear that it was. Which just further hammered in the nail in this sinking debris of a movie. And get this, they were allegedly Jurassic sharks. Jurassic sharks? Seriously?!The scene with the divers in shark cages was just horrible to witness. The divers had red and blue markings on their head pieces of their diving suits. But whenever they opted to shy away from their stock footage and use actual filmed footage of the actors, guess what? Yep, there was no red or blue markings on the head pieces. Another glorious fail right there.And for some reason they kept using the same clips of the sharks over and over throughout the entire movie.All in all, "Shark Zone" is a sinker and a stinkers. There is no reason for why you should suffer through this ordeal of a movie. Some of us took a bullet for you by watching this abysmal shark movie, so you don't have to suffer like we did.

first off I don't care if they made numerous mistakes on the movie,, the people on here that constantly nit pick a movie to death really get on my nerves.. I wanted sharks, killing, blood, and breasts. well I got all four,, . the most irritating part of the whole movie I thought was our lead female actress. she looks like a porn star and not a mom. other than that I liked the movie.. just for the over the top violence blood guts, and killings, and of course the graititous nudity when presented. there are way many worse movies out there people.. this isn't one of em,, sure the acting ain't' great , I give you that one,, but the action if fair enough.. decent shark footage,, and I really don't care if people think it came from national geographic either,,

The small town of San Francisco relies upon the beach for all of its business. A school of sharks roam near a ship containing diamonds which sunk many years ago. The mayor wants to keep the beaches open, the hero disagrees with him. Token Russian guy wants the diamonds and he wants the hero to help him find them. etc etc etcSounds familiar? Welcome to Shark Zone. A movie so terrible that thousands of people watching this may be sworn off movies. Cliché after cliché. Remember Jaw? Well its part jaws, part every other bad(and by bad I mean really really bad) movie you've ever seen. This movie is a comedy of errors. There's lots of National Geographic and Discovery Channel footage, which if you've watch for just 10 mins, you will instantaneously recognise all the shark clips.The deaths are messy, lots of really really bad fake blood. There's plenty of errors in the movie to pick from. In one scene when they're throwing in chum for the sharks, you see jelly (jello) mixture. The sharks grunt for some reason (don't ask). The sharks devour everyone in sight, oo and my favourite - corny dialogue. Lots of lines to pick out from. My fav though-Dean Cochran saying 'Class dismissed!' (Doesn't sound funny out of context, but when watching the movie, it is definitely amusing)If you notice carefully, you see the main character's father returns as the mayor, without a beard and no apparent dress sense. Looking at the movie from another perspective, it is hilarious. Brandi Sherwood's acting is terrible, but funny nevertheless. As a former Miss Teen USA its obvious why she got the part. The whole screenplay is so bad, you'll be on the floor in riotous laughter. I mean sure, shark attacks are nothing to laugh about, but this movie, makes the attacks look so fake, you have no choice but to laugh. This is definitely the Holy Grail of bad movies. This should be shown in film school as not what to do when making a movie.The movie has so many faults, its unbelievable. Not really worth renting at all. Unless you have some friends around and you want to laugh, watch this!The writer/director has another shark movie out next year,beware!A generous 1 out of 10 Laugh factor- 8/9 out of 10
