Malibu Shark Attack Trailers

An underwater earthquake generates a tsunami that strikes Malibu, bringing a hunting pack of prehistoric-looking goblin sharks to the surface. Although the beach is evacuated before the big wave strikes, a group of lifeguards and a crew of construction workers are stranded in the high water and have to fight the sharks to get to dry land.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Warren Christie in this?? what the hell? I recognized him from other better stuff since then but his being in this was a surprise (Musta been a low point of low points in his career!)In fact I'd say the the only real surprise.. it's a horrid cheap pathetic "made for TV" pile of crap that some one got suckered into forking over $ to make.I've seen better acting and production quality from a HS play! The premise is beyond absurd right off the bat.. special effects are barely better than the acting skill.. or lack thereof The other reviewer saying 20 min was all he could stand (or she? doesn't matter).. I again got stuck with this sadly being the best thing on one day while on devil child duty.. it was this crap or garbage like "house wives of cardsashians or whatever pathetic mind numbingly stupid crap they are coming up with of that sort.. you know what I mean I'm sure.) Well this was so bad it was a serious question of leaving it on this crap or channel flipping to horrible fake "reality TV".. this movie won.. if anything can be called a winner in this case at all. it sure as hell was not a win for me.Anyhow.. absurd premise + pathetic acting + dare we say direction of some sort.. + somehow managing to waste a budget of 3 MILLION... wait a min.. 3 MILLION??? What in hell did they spend 3 MILLION on with this crap?? Seriously.. more like budget of 3 million.. spent 100K on the production total.. pocketed 2.9 MILLION and used the entire thing as a giant tax write off.. and while we do a lot of good productions in Canada this is not one of them.. but I guarantee someone used tax credits here for the making of this horrible garbage.Skip it.. don't waste your time.. save yourself the mental scarring that is inevitable for those whom watch this!!!! Even Plan 9 from outer space is Oscar worthy in comparison to this crap and sadly several other "things" (calling them movies is an insult to what a movie can actually be) I've been subjected to recently (see my other reviews as warning to save yourselves from such torture!!)

An earthquake and subsequent tsunami results in a gang of hungry "Goblin Sharks" from Earth's ancient history being released. They have a pointy forehead, which is a cool look; however, the special effects do not compliment these critters. The hardest hit area is Malibu, where lifeguards struggle for survival. The main focus is on Warren Christie (as Pete) and Peta Wilson (as Heather). She seems to be experiencing a mid-life crisis and wonders if she should leave Mr. Christie for contractor Jeff Gannon (as Colin). Younger hunk Remi Broadway (as Doug) and sexy bikini-clad Chelan Simmons (as Jenny) are an attractive supporting couple. Looking up the budget during the running reveals this was made for an estimated $3 million. This does not seem possible, although director David Lister has a couple of good scenes when his cast has to fight sharks in a building half-filled with water.*** Malibu Shark Attack (7/25/09) David Lister ~ Warren Christie, Peta Wilson, Remi Broadway, Chelan Simmons

Last night, I was flipping through TV, bored as hell and nearing midnight and I saw this film on the Space channel. So in my boredom I decided what ever and watched it. I will tell you that is 1 hour of my life I will never get back. It was predictable, I immediately knew what sort of cliché crap will happen before it even does happen and the Goblin sharks are made with some of the worst effects, and I could clearly tell that several scenes of the sharks attacking people were reused shots. Don't even watch and I am lucky it was on cable because I cannot imagine what would happen if someone wasted even $0.99 on a film this awful.

Well, it's been a while since my last shark attack movie. My dad insisted for me to watch this 'horror' movie with me, so there I went. I expected it to be very bad-- and I wasn't very wrong. The story is pretty simple and ordinary, monster sharks come to kill people for no reason whatsoever. The only plus is that this time they come along with a tsunami, making it harder to keep alive. The first half hour is interesting, since things are happening all the time, making it entertaining. However, after the first hour I could barely pay attention to this, given that the only thing characters did was trying to scape from death. Some scenes are very predictable, such as someone jumping into the water to "distract the shark" and ending up dead. CGi sharks also weren't too plausible. I'm only giving this four starts for respect to the surprisingly good cast-- with exception of Mungo McKay's, I don't know if he was over the top or his character was just annoying.
