She and her colleagues are lured to the island, and are soon asking each other “Did you notice anything strange about this place?” Well, there are “shark control devices” handily labelled as such on cupboard doors, and evil forest vines waiting to pounce on your ankles. Paul needs a mate (so they can spawn a new and improved human race, of course) and his scientist ex-fiance (Hunter Tylo) is top of the list. (Every death is hilarious, despite mostly consisting of someone disappearing, followed by crunching and some documentary footage of a shark swimming away.) Even though it’s currently trapped in a deserted LAKE.īest death scene: The shark leaping overhead (presumably swerving in mid-air to get back into the water) and leaving nothing of a victim but a pair of bloody stumps in her shoes. Finally they decide the monster must be killed, in case it somehow reaches a crowded beach. It looks as if it was filmed with a 1990s era camcorder a gigantic (and surprisingly vocal) shark has no trouble traversing knee-deep water, and we also have to endure long and pointless scenes of people walking through woods, with no dialogue and no sharks. Some movies are so bad they’re good this one is so outrageously terrible, it has to be seen to be believed. And every other “creature awakened from a millions-of-years-long hibernation” flick. And Eli Roth’s rumored future project Meg. Jurassic Shark has the same plot line as 2002’s Megalodon.
