Guess what this film's about?

Chrisbird from , 29th July, 2009

Surely the title enough should encourage you to take a look, but if that's not enough to convince you - the lead role of a marine biologist trying to uncover where the mega shark and giant octopus come from is none other than Debbie Gibson! Orginally I thought the tagline of 'enormous prehistoric creatures from the sea' was a reference to her, but no. Debbie's on hand to save us from these giant beasts that devour such landmarks as the Golden Gate bridge - and even the shark manages to eat a aeroplane. Brilliant B movie action though....

The Inmates Running The Asylum

greasykid1 from , 13th August, 2009

This is Asylum pictures at their best! Yeah, it's cheesy, the fx are nowhere near what we expect of a blockbuster these days and the plot never seems to be set solid, but who the hell cares?? This is what B Movies are all about. Pure enjoyment. A huge shark leaping out of the ocean and BITING a passenger jet out of the air! Debbie Gibson hamming it up along with a supporting cast just OOZING cheese! This movie, like the rest of Asylum's 'mockbusters' isn't talking itself too seriously and doesn't ask you to. Just sit back and enjoy!

Here's hoping for a sequel!

Kaxxx from , 10th August, 2009

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! Where to start? I honestly dont know! Its so bad that it has actually staggered me. I was watching 'Shark Swarm' on Channel 5 (surprise, surprise) the other week and, as you would expect, was f**cking awful - However, it was a work of cinematic genius compared to this trainwreck! Needless to say my eyebrow raised at the first sight of the female lead - ''Is that Debbie f**ckin Gibson'', I cried aloud then reminded myself that the big name star of the movie was Lorenzo Lamas (oh yes folks - Renegade himself!). Anyway, since I dont work for Empire and dont have the room here for a 6 page review I really wont go off on one because its monday, i'm in work, i'm still a bit hungover and I think after taking all the above into consideration along with the atrosity that is this movie I might actually end up in jail for murder if i review this properly!! I'll leave ya with this though, Shark - Aeroplane - nuff said!

Mega B Movie.

Devilridesout from , 22nd August, 2009

As B movies go this one is quite good, was enjoying the little action snippets till the shark took the Airliner out of the sky....then it just gets sillier by the minute. So a badly acted, poorly plotted, dismal effects, kind of movie. But what do we expect? eh, it is a bloody B movie, so do not expect too much out of this movie, and I laughed so much that I nearly split my sides....yeah right!...:-)
