Ghost Shark – Die Legende lebt: Directed by Griff Furst. With Robert Aberdeen, Jayme Bohn, Eliot Brasseaux, Amy Brassette. When rednecks on a fishing trip kill a great white shark, its spirit comes back for revenge, and soon turns its sights on the town of Smallport.

“Three redneck hicks kill a shark which ate a catch they were trying to reel in for a fishing tournament, by shooting it, and throwing hot sauce into its mouth. That, somehow or other, turns the shark into a translucent, glowing blue ghost shark (!) which proceeds to go on a rampage in the local town, devouring people in their own swimming pools, a local bikini car wash, even a sinku0026#39;s drain pipe with a leak in it, a bathtub, and a Slip-N-Slide ride for kids.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNot quite up to the insanity that is Sharknado, but that would be difficult, this has a few funny effects, and lead actors who all seem like cartoon caricatures. 6u0026#39;8u0026quot; Richard Moll towers over the entire cast as the town drunk, who might know how to stop the thing. Acromegalic Shawn Phillips, likable and almost cartoonish in his size, is an early victim. The two lead girls (Sloane Coe and gorgeous Mackenzie Rosman) are diminutive: they both stand five feet tall each. Casting decisions like that had to be intentionally done, but, were the filmmakers trying too hard by doing that? u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNumerous references to Jaws, as a character is named u0026quot;Blaise Shawu0026quot; is an obvious reference to Robert (Quint) Shaw, Chief Martin is an obvious reference to Martin Brody (played by Roy Scheider) , even the events of the film occur around the Fourth of July.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe bizarre effects, and even weirder casting give the movie a lot of unintentional laughs, but when the filmmakers tried to make it funny, it ended up being silly.”
