Very well executed

Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

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.

Perfectly wretched syfy/The Asylum killer shark movie has the kind of Z-grade cast something named "2-Headed Shark Attack" deserves. I mean, Carmen Electra has no other reason to exist except to strike a pose in a bikini on the deck of the ship which is carrying marine students (some of them wouldn't be able to pass Liberal Arts, much less anything to do with Marine tech) out into the ocean, soon encountering the titular shark with heads side by side, a mutated beast in the open water ready to chomp on stupid people. Well, this film has plenty of attractive young adults (most of who act like five year olds) for the two-headed shark to feast on one chomp at a time. Anyway, Brooke Hogan gets to stab away at these sharks and live while practically everyone else is ripe for the pickings. Hogan, I have to admit, although cosmetic from head to toe, looks pretty hot, wearing (of course) a bikini top and short-shorts the whole entire running time (what, you think she was hired for her acting chops?). She is built as the star of this fiasco. Get this: the *other* O'Connell (okay, the guy tries, but he's in a hopeless situation; and his hurt leg scene is a woofer), Charlie, is a professor. Electra is his lady. Hogan is one of the students. David Gallegos is the "brainiac" that befriends Hogan (although she clearly wouldn't give this guy the time of day if they weren't so connected due to the disasters visited upon them) and has ideas on how to keep them alive. Geoff Ward is the douchebag jock with six pack abs. Ward, at one point, steals the ship after Hogan welds cracks in the hull! Ward also left students to die when sharks attack their smaller boat in the ocean while heading back to the ship. Hogan gives him a punch to the face for that piece of anti-heroism. The rest of the cast consists of scantily-clad girls (mostly) and a few guys. At least two of the guys in this do some heroic things while the rest are pathetic wastes of human skin.You do get a lot of babes in bikinis: yep, objectified honeys with nothing else to do but look nice in bikinis. Come on, seriously, would you expect Nicole Kidman or Julianne Moore to show us tortured souls emoting the difficulties of life in something called, "2-Headed Shark Attack"? You get a casting call for 20-something girls choosing between this and porn, so the obvious choice to stay one step away from the latter by screaming as you are being attacked by a CGI two-headed mutant shark in the former seems like the more ideal option. So, how are the shark attacks, you ask? Yikes, are they lousy. The way the shark seems to have humans in their mouths (the rubbery, very close-up shots) only for the CGI water shots afterward showing nothing but blood misting. A lot of that is editing, really. The money involved in making a really thrilling series of shark attacks isn't what The Asylum is about. They are about a few decent shots of a menacing CGI shark, and then absurd effects involving cheesy violence that isn't the least bit convincing as victims are eaten. The island the group finds off the ship is suffering a series of earthquakes that will bring it into the ocean so it isn't a safe haven, either. The way the shark leaps like a salmon out of the ocean has become a standard in this films, and the shock of victims feeling secure only to be devoured by the flying fishy predators is now lost. Hell, one moment where two girls feel like they are now safe after an earthquake momentarily stops, with them catching their breath on a walkway, the camera stays at a certain distance so long that any point of surprise regarding their demise is totally lost. These movies are a dime a dozen, and, for me personally, are so played out. Yet, there's an audience for them. This does have a lot of eye candy…that was my sole interest when all was said and done. The shark attacks become repetitive and unimaginative.

when will I learn to stop watching these movies?awful story line awful acting awful graphicsand lets throw in a teenage threesome just to keep people watching half way through.. omg when they get bitten during that scene its just stupidcant stand the camera going between below the water and above the water.Carmen electra tanning like shes posing for a porno mag on the boat through most of the movie (sorry Carmen im sure you were just doing what you were told)wasn't even funny.. very poor attempt at the comedy horror.

This bad boy is a bit hard to swallow. I appreciated the lovely young actresses that contributed to this, it will serve as a snapshot of their youth and they can show their grandkids. "See Timmy, I was in a movie!" This movie may help at your next kegger to show rock hard abs and pecs and luscious breasts and buttocks to party goers to encourage their drunken and ultimately regrettable hookups. And throw in a two-headed shark, a 90's style nu-metal soundtrack, and Carmen Electra, and boy howdy, you got it all! Don't forget to pour at a 33 degree angle. A bad movie can be "so bad it's good", or just plain bad, but I will go on the record saying this movie is just plain bad. You may be tempted to alphabetize your record collection, vacuum the house or do your taxes during most of this movie. Condensed down to its essence, this movie would be an entertaining bad flick as a 30 minute short, but as a feature length, it drags in ways that simply lost my attention and compelled me to find something to while away the gaps in the action. Don't get me wrong, though. The nudity was nice, but cold comfort in a production that drags like bed springs through a mud bog. The shark makes few appearances, and for a bad shark movie you need to pour on the shark! It's just the rules of bad film. Yes, I love boobs but I watched this movie for a shark (OK, a shark and boobs).But, as i mentioned earlier, you could throw it on at a party and get your drunk friends to rip on it. Throw some conversation in the mix in between scenes and this movie would be a much better watch. But the rating here reflects an objective opinion, and not MST3K standards. Your value may vary, depending on how stoned or apathetic you are.I often have been called gullible at best and have at times been involved in scientology, short-term loans, and flipping beanie babies, but I have a very difficult time believing that Brooke Hogan knows how to weld and that a bad ass sea captain winces in agony at a dime-sized scrape on his leg.

this not a bad movie. A bad movie would signify it was a movie. This far beyond bad. It's not worthy of calling it a movie. the acting sucks, the effects suck, the story sucks, the directing sucks, the shark sucks. It's a like porn movie with a story line What a waste of air time. How do movies like this even get released? Is it just about a paycheck? The dialog is cheesy and the suspense scenes drag on too long. the 2 speedboats racing to the cruiser? How long can you drag out a scene? Those boats should have reached the cruiser like 10 times. Oh and the sharks? What the heck? beavis and butt head?? someone shoot the writer.
