That was an excellent one.

Just what I expected

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Why I gave this one star and I am going to explain the reason I am doing so. For starters, in 2004, I have penned a supernatural tinged shark story closing out Tabloid Purposes (ISBN: 978- 1500524517) called Leviathan's Ghost in recent years a short story playing up one of our urban legends. The story is on AuthorsDen to this day as it's formatted for full justification -- if anything this asshole may had lifted the story in some ways. Though talking with the director of Ghost Shark: Urban Jaws as I was ready to scream at him too until I explained how I wrote this story I used Twelve Days Of Terror as the back story and using the terms from all the shark books I read as a kid. It was the first where I really shown the work to create something downright frightening; as one of my House of Pain E-Zine mates when reading this. I made the motif that Peter Benchley did and gave it an even more sinister tone. This so called director didn't research the web to see if a story like this already existed. I can't support this and Sci-Fi Channel please look into what I am saying here because I will be contacting The Asylum personally on the issue. This director may have lifted Leviathan's Ghost which I researched this heavily reading 12 Days of Terror by Dr. Richard Fernicola for the back story. Griff Furst and Eric Forsberg should at least looked for Leviathan's Ghost before he went ahead and wrote this one because the grisly sequences within my story can given this idea even more plausibility. I didn't watch this film because of the accusations thrown at me as one made the claim of I stole this movies idea for my story. When I wrote the story 11 years ago and it was on FictionPress as a chapbook. The Asylum has a history of ripping authors off and not faithfully looking into the original material as I Am Omega and I Am Legend. Sharknado what I saw of the samples is original and I had given this movie a nod. I penned Yest Ye Become One when I did my urban legend based shark story where the idea came from a report that WGN-TV did last year when they asked if that was a shark in Lake Michigan. Frust you might be reading this and saying, "Who is this sob ripping you a new one with this review?" I am the author of Leviathan's Ghost the original supernatural tinged killer shark horror story. Proved I could do a short form horror story based on the killer shark motif again in 2015. So guys I suggest you do a Google to make sure something like this doesn't already exist before you exploring this abomination.

After being killed by a couple of fishermen, a great white shark is resurrected from the dead and comes back to haunt the small town of Smallport which has had its share of mystical occurrences over the years. The problem is not only that the townspeople refuse to believe some teenagers when they describe it to them but also that it doesn't need much water to manifest itself in order to kill. Now obviously any film with a plot as far-fetched as this one needs to be viewed with a heavy dose of humor or at least a 6-pack of beer. Be that as it may, as far as overall "shark movies" are concerned this particular picture is not one of the better films out there as it gets more and more ridiculous the further it continues. Additionally, the special effects were elementary and the script was pretty weak as well. Likewise, there weren't any big name actors to give it any semblance of credibility either. In short, this wasn't a good movie and I have rated it accordingly.

The story goes that the screenplay for Ghost Shark was suggested by the 7 year old daughter of someone involved with its development. Have you ever watched Axe Cop? Then you know what sorts of logic-defying ideas can spring from the mind of a child. But then the idea is sieved through the minds of adults, and the result is a heavy helping of The Fog with a side order of Jaws and a dollop of Pet Cemetery. I won't spoil the raison d'etre for the ghost shark as it's one of the better/sillier things going on here. But the conceit is this: the shark's spirit can manifest itself in any body of water, no matter how small. It just can't emerge very far out of that water. So you have people prat-falling like Laurel and Hardy to get within reach of the shark in a lot of scenes. It's awesomely goofy. Check it out if you like this sort of thing.

Ghost Shark (2013) ** (out of 4)A group of friends grow tired of a mysterious ghost shark eating their friends so they decide to stick together and try to figure out what's going on. Yes, the title pretty much tells you everything you need to know as SyFy is back with yet another "shark" movie. While they have shown countless shark movies over the years, this one here is the first to actually tell the story of a haunted shark whose ghost attacks people. You might think this is a stupid idea, and it is, but at the same time there's no question that you've never seen anything quite like this and on that level the film remains mildly entertaining. The idea that a ghost of a shark would go around killing people is just downright silly but the film takes it to a whole 'nother level by making the ghost able to go into any sort of water. This gives us some crazy, over-the-top and at times hilarious scenes where the shark attacks a group of kids inside a pool and even a water puddle isn't safe from this thing. I really hope people don't watch a film called GHOST SHARK and expect some sort of serious, Shakespeare-like drama. Those watching this should just be into it for some cheap fun and I think the film delivers on this level. There's still no question that the film contains quite a few flaws including the fact that it simply runs out of gas towards the end, which keeps it from being better. None of the performances are what you'd call great but they're good enough for this type of material. Fans of the silly should certainly get a few kicks out of this even if it falls short of SHARKNADO.
