Wow! Such a good movie.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Misty Talley directs this Scfy presentation that is actually a little bit scarier and more than a little bit funnier than one would expect. Also known as SHARK ISLAND, finds four friends wanting to get away for the weekend. Redplumb Island, Louisiana is the chosen spot for a perfect weekend. The opposite side of the island, that is not crowded with the fancy folks in their big houses. An experimental shark has been created off shore with the belief that there is some shark DNA with the potential of being helpful instead of harmful for humans, helping people live longer. Of course, something goes awry (a hurricane) and the experimental shark escapes its control center and begins attacking other sharks. Guess what? Innocent people get in the way; so much for living longer!Interesting story with characters you actually like. Of course, there is always one you want to see "go" first. Some of the CGI is a bit off kilter, but overall a fun watch. Filmed near Madisonville, Louisiana.Cast includes: Cassie Steele, Sloane Coe, Ross Britz, Becky Andrews, Jason London, Roger J. Timber and Laura Cayouette.

"Zombie Shark" is one of those types of movies that are so bad that it is actually fun to watch. And it makes you wonder just who comes up with the idea for such a movie.As a movie shown on the SyFy Channel then you know exactly what you are getting yourself into, both entertainment-wise and effect-wise.A group of young people travel to an exotic Island for a vacation, but they come to an island where the waters are filled with zombie sharks, and soon the infection spreads to land.Yep, it is yet another one of those wacky movies that SyFy Channel is widely known for. And you either hate them for the questionable movies that they might be, or you love it for its glorious campy cheesiness.The effects in "Zombie Shark" was awful, especially the CGI animations. It just baffled me that a movie made in 2015 can have such inadequate, outdated and lousy CGI effects.As for the acting, well, it was as to be expected. And with Jason London at the lead, you were in for a fun, albeit campy shark thrill-ride.All in all, a fun enough movie if you enjoy these SyFy Channel movies.

For those that like low budget movies this one would be too up market for you.For those that suffer ultra low budget movies along with a beer and chips this would suit you. I thought it was a comedy but it is shown as a Horror Sci fi.If you are aware of Sharknado it was a low budget film.Perhaps the producers had some money (coins only) left over from the making of Sharknado and made the movie 'Zombie Shark'.I have just sat through some of the corniest, dumbest, most idiotic comments, scenes and action sequences associated with a film .....EVER.I actually missed a bit of the movie. I went away and did the dishes, came back and realised I had missed 'bugger all'.It would be difficult to pick holes in this 'comedy, horror' movie as it is just one large hole although the ladies would be attractive to unmarried men I am told.However, if you have 1 hour and 15 minutes of your life to waste laughing, shaking your head in disbelief while drinking (lots of drinking) I still might not recommend this movie unless you had started drinking beforehand.To prepare yourself for the 'Zombie Shark' experience I suggest you watch "The Blob', 'Them', perhaps a teen movie and only then subject your last few working brain cells to 'Zombie Shark'.For those that wish to suffer 'Zombie Shark' the movie you MUST watch the last 3 minutes.In fact rent it if only for the last 3 minutes.

Arriving on a secluded island getaway, a group of friends find the area's research center has lost control of a shark infected with a gruesome virus turning other sharks into mindless zombie sharks and must hold off the attacks in order to escape.This one was slightly disappointing but didn't really slip down as low as it could've. What really seems to hold this one back here is the rather bland CGI here, which seems to be going off even worse than ever and really manages to showcase some of the absolute worst effects in the scene. These sharks look absolutely ridiculous with wholly unnatural swimming moments as they seem to swim with a rapid-fire back-and-forth motion that captures none of the grace and fluidity of the real thing, not to mention the fact that they tend to jerk around and sputter across frame at such distractingly unnatural speeds that there's no doubt about their origins. None of these, though, are as bad as the fact that the film decides to go for entirely CGI backgrounds during each of their scenes, so the lame pixelated images are just wholly unconvincing even before putting a badly-rendered shark on the scene, and on the whole this one really offers up very few moments where there's anything remotely natural or believable about the effects here and it had done a far better job than expected recently with this format. What works against these effects even more is the fact that this one had a lot more going for it elsewhere, since that just makes the badness of the effects stick out that much more. The biggest plus here with this one is the fact that there's a ravel novel and intriguing story here that seems to be so natural and logical that it's a wonder it hadn't been done before, for this one utilizes the concept of a zombie virus and turns it into an animal attack effort which is quite enjoyable here with this one really getting some nice work in building off the effects and motivations of the virus. This is accomplished through the scientist actually being on the side of humanity for once and not trying to create the zombies for their own purpose and they get out of hand, but an actual and honest reason for creating them and then actually trying to do the right thing here and clean it up which is a nice touch. Likewise, there's also the film's nicely done action scenes here which are all of the shorter attacks but still the frequency here is enough to make them work as this one goes for all sorts of ambushes in the shallow beaches and a few feet away from shore, while the zombie attacks that come about offer a nice way to get something going out of the water where it's feasible to be safe from the sharks, as well as providing this one with some solid gore as well. Overall these here were enough to make it watchable but not enough to hold off the big flaws here.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and mild drinking references.
