As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

During the opening credits, a shark that can swim in the sand jumps out and eats some motorcyclists. There are more attacks and people fear the "Sand Sharks". However, "White Sands" mayor's son Corin Nemec (as Jimmy Greenburg) wants to impress his father with a festival on the beach. Buxom blonde Brooke Hogan (as Sandy Powers) explains the physics of shark-swimming. It's easier when the sand is damp, she explains. Stout lawman Eric Scott Woods (as John Stone) advises Mr. Nemec to cancel the beach party. Deputy sister Vanessa Evigan (as Brenda) provides Nemec with a romantic scene. This wretched revision of "Jaws" (1975) is lifted slightly by a sense of humor, especially toward the end. A basic level of competence among the personnel is often absent.** Sand Sharks (12/7/11) Mark Atkins ~ Corin Nemec, Brooke Hogan, Eric Scott Woods, Vanessa Evigan

that's it, that's the whole review. it's sharks...that swim in the sand. if you read that title and see the movie poster and are expecting *anything* higher than b-movie level graphics, CGI, script and acting, please give your TV to an orphanage. think about it...it's SHARKS that SWIM IN THE SAND.so why did i give it 8/10? because it's SHARKS THAT SWIM IN THE SAND! it's too incredibly moronic and sophomoric to be taken seriously, and for that, i found it genius. i doubt the actors are realistically looking to this as a their break-thru performances, so there is no need to critique this movie for anything other that what it is: a fantastically stupid, b level-shark movie. if you're watching this movie and expecting anything but ridiculousness, please pick up a book.

I love these stupid movies, especially the ones that go out of their way to make no sense. They don't take themselves seriously in the least, they know exactly what you expect when you watch one. Its all corny one-liners, wacky characters, babes, and of course campy monster-violence. The rest of this review should just be that sentence over and over: corny one-liners, wacky characters, babes and campy monster-violence- that's it! I wanted to review this one because it was particularly good, and I've seen my fair share. I'll be reviewing more soon, but since this one I've seen some terrible SyFy originals (Mongolian Death-Worm, unfortunately, Ba'al the Storm God, list goes on) but this one rocked. Spend two hours in HILARIOUS nonsense land, and brace yourself for the most OBVIOUS, IDIOTIC climax you've ever seen. SAND SHARKS!(so sand sharks DO become land sharks!)

Sand Sharks (2012) * 1/2 (out of 4)JAWS meets TREMORS in this silly, straight-to-DVD creature feature that lacks any real bite. A small town discovers that there is a deadly shark swimming through the sand but they're able to destroy it before a bunch of college kids show up for a beach party. As you'd guess, it turns out that the shark was just a baby and soon its mother shows up. If you're looking for some sort of classic then it's best to stick with one of the films mentioned before. If you're looking for a really cheap, really silly movie then SAND SHARKS might just be for you. When you go into a movie like this quality isn't what you should be looking for but instead you can just hope for some "so bad it's good" moments and this film offers plenty of those. I must admit that there were several times where I found myself laughing extremely loud at what's going on in this thing. The first glimpses of the sharks swimming around in the sand were rather hilarious and there are other bits of comedy here that works. One such example is a scene where a woman gets bitten in two and the guy with her tries to save her life by attaching her guts together. The film certainly shouldn't be taken too serious as there are so many logical problems here. With that said, what really kills this movie is the fact that it clocks in at a way-too-long 90-minutes. Remember when movies like this clocked in less than 70-minutes? I guess the films of today must clock in at 90-minutes for television but it's really too bad because if you took out the boring personal drama crap then you'd be left with a fun monster movie. Believe it or not but the performances are actually above average for this type of thing and it appears that Brooke Hogan took some acting classes as her work here is much better than we saw in 2-HEADED SHARK ATTACK. I'm a little surprised that the producers didn't get into some trouble because there are several scenes that rip-off JAWS and the heads of the monsters also rip off the ones in TREMORS. This film here isn't nearly in the same league as those two classics but with dialogue like "We're stuck between a rock and a shark place," you can at least have a laugh.
