Teenage Ava, her younger sister Cicely and friend Blaise witness the start of the ghost shark's rampage but the authorities don't believe their story. With the help of a crotchety lighthouse keeper named Finch the teens discover that the spectral shark can hunt wherever there's water, and that the town's dark past may provide the clues they need to defeat it. 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. Saw this on DVD last week after finally getting round to watching. I bought this a couple of years ago but never got the time to sit down & watch. <br/><br/>Well I've now watched & thought it was decent for what it was. But I see negative criticisms here about the film! Well… what do you expect? I mean a film that's called "Ghost Shark" should give you a clue or hint that it's going to be B rated & of course, jokey & stupid! You all expect a Jaws like film & walk away disappointed like you were surprised & expected a whole different film! It's meant to be dumb! It's a comedy horror & for what it is, is not bad & better than the god-awful series, Sharknado! <br/><br/>The film is about a ghost shark which can attack people anywhere, where there's a body of water! As appose to being a live shark swimming around in the ocean in a sort of contained area. This shark can "teleport" where there is water basically. The story starts with a fisherman crew trying to video killing a shark to win a prize by the time midnight strikes! Dumb unimaginative story opening but hey! But after killing the shark, the dead shark lands in a cryptic cave which gives the shark powers to come back as a ghost & attack! So the shark is like Freddy Kruger but in the form of a shark! The crew then get killed off & the main story starts. The shark attacks people at the beach & the police don't believe the group of teens of the shark (rolls eyes), old drunk man believes them & gets called crazy by police (rolls eyes, again), then there's a backstory about the cryptic cave & the shark connection! The back story is a little confusing, but understandable enough.<br/><br/>The story & film were decent enough, I mean after all, it's called "Ghost Shark" for a reason & to be fair, in its own merit, it is good! The effects were forgivable, the shark effects were pretty good considering other films have worse effects & the kills were also decent, some of which cool. The women too, hot!<br/><br/>Overall, it's as good as it's going to get! Hell it's a fun film to watch with friends & have a laugh about! 6/10 Another one of those gut-wrenching horrible, but oh-so-fun-to-watch, bad monster movies from the SyFy Channel. This time it is a shark that comes back as a ghost to wreck havoc and terror on a small coastal village.<br/><br/>Yeah, that was basically the storyline here. And seriously, who comes up with these ideas. It is so far fetched that it is actually hilarious to watch, and the storyline is so bad that you can't help but take the entire movie to be nothing more than a spoof.<br/><br/>A group of rednecks are out fishing when they catch a great white shark. But unable to haul it aboard their fishing vessel, they decide to kill the shark using a gun, a crossbow and a hand grenade. Mortally wounded, the shark swims off to an ancient cavern where it finally dies. But the mysterious runes on the wall in the cavern bring the shark back from death, returning as an undead ghost shark with a ferocious appetite for human flesh. With its newfound ghostly powers, the shark can appear anywhere that has water - be it fresh or salt water (oddly enough!).<br/><br/>The effects in "Ghost Shark" were laughable, as with most movies from the SyFy Channel, but still, it is enjoyable, because the story is so out there. And there were some really hilarious scenes where the shark gobbles up people or maul them. Watch it for yourself, trust me, you will be laughing hard at times.<br/><br/>The acting in the movie was actually quite good, and I must admit that it was Richard Moll that initially lured me to this movie. But it turned out to be yet another of those goofy SyFy movies that you just love to hate and won't admit to have fun watching.<br/><br/>You know what you get here, given the title of the movie in itself.
