A Brilliant Conflict

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!! THE WAY THE PLOT JUMPED FROM CHaracter to character was really realistic of real life and the clear acceptance of shark and vomit fetishes was very refreshing. my heart is warmed by this display of progress. So many strong female characters! with boobs! for the camera to zoom in on for uncomfortably long periods of time. Passed the Bechtel test!!!! also certainly the best CGI ever, really top notch, really took the concept of a shark to an interpretive level. as well as the concept of a child. there was that whole scene of a grown woman playing with shark toys on the playground before getting seduced in a dream. this movie also had a strong message about exercise. we watched random, often unimportant characters, walk. for a long time. honestly a third of the movie. they just didn't stop. there was also a very fit girl and the movie really showed how attractive muscular women can be by having a character named "Dad" in the credits take perv pictures of her for absolutely no reason. that plot line went nowhere. I also think this movie provided an interesting view of the Catholic church, showing both a Satan worshiping nun and an exorcist priest. i think its really valuable for people in this era to keep an eye out for wrongdoing in religion. there might always be a shark in the water. even if its a lake. totally the best movie I've ever seen. Donald Farmer is my world.

I was not expecting much from this. The title says it all. I did hope it would contain some humour or charm though. It fails on those counts and it fails as a movie too.The plot would struggle to fill up ten minutes of screen time if the director had not put in a lot of long lingering shots. I accept that a lot of men like looking at a woman in a bikini but that scene seemed to go on for an hour. The CGI shark is poorly done and as the budget did not allow it to interact with any character it just never did feel like a threat.The acting was poor in places and over-dramatic. The music was often distracting and spoiled at least one scene. Certain scenes seemed to have no relevance to the plot (such as it was) too. If you are a fan of bad movies then go ahead and watch this. You will probably be disappointed. I know I was.

SHARK EXORCIST is another bandwagon-jumping monster flick. It seems B-movie film-makers these days have realised that anything involving a shark sells well, so you get films about robot sharks, giant sharks, ghost sharks, you name it. The premise for this one is quite literally JAWS meets THE EXORCIST, but if you're looking for a genuine B-movie then you've come to the wrong place.This is a homemade movie, and the most expensive thing about the film is the camera - this admittedly looks great in high definition. It's unfortunate, then, that's there's no real film or story here, just a bunch of scenes involving young women wandering around in bikinis and showing off their tanned bodies. The action plot incidents that make up the story occupy about five minutes of screen time tops and the rest is just padding.There's no nudity or gore, so this really does fail as an exploitation movie. The shark scenes involve just a few snippets of CGI which is neither here nor there. Unsurprisingly the acting from the young female cast is dreadful and quite embarrassing for the viewer to sit through. The nadir of the film is when the characters attend a fairground and wander around for ten minutes doing nothing. And once the credits roll you get not one but two tacked-on scenes of more aimless wandering just to pad out the running time. SHARK EXORCIST is a film that makes SHARKNADO look like CITIZEN KANE.

The premise of this movie caught my interest. A Great White Shark possessed by Satan living in a lake is feasting on young attractive women and a priest is called in to perform an exorcism and destroy the monster.Shark movies all typically follow the same formula, so the idea of a demonically possessed shark seemed an unusual gimmick compared to your standard shark fare, however the kind of film I envisioned once I read the premise was not even close to the kind of film it ended up being.This is a really muddled movie, sometimes it's a typical shark attack movie, but it's also a vampire movie and also an Exorcist inspired possession movie. These ideas might have worked, but at only 70 minutes long there simply isn't enough time to develop these story elements with any cohesion.The whole movie looks and sounds terrible, with a cheap low-end digital look typical of YouTube videos, scuzzy audio design and nonexistent choreography. I was honestly shocked when i saw the director has been making movies for some 30 odd years, Shark Exorcist looks like something a first year film school dropout would have been embarrassed to make.It's clear from the finished product that no one involved in the making of this movie cared whatsoever. It fails as entertainment, it doesn't even work as a piece of Schlock Cinema, it's just a forgettable cash-grab piece of trash.
