Elswet Once a horror (or creature feature) fan has seen Jaws, they have seen the ultimate creature feature with a shark as the antagonist. Orca was awesome in places (and is not a shark, obviously), but Jaws is the epitome of a masterpiece creature feature. It stands comfortably alongside The Creature From The Black Lagoon, and represents some phenomenal film making skills.This work, on the other hand, attempts to bring the "mad scientist" ploy into a cheap, slip-shod version of Jaws, attempting to class with the Invisible Man, Frankenstein, or even Bats. Sadly, it does not measure up, even to Bats.There are multiple problems with this work. The main problem I found (and there ARE many) is the simple lack of kills, on screen or off. However, a close second is the painfully wretched writing, and an even closer third is the utter lack of acting talent featured within this flick. Fahey is the best here...what does THAT tell you? Further, dialog delivery is so plastic it goes to cement somewhere after the first 20 minutes. And speaking of plastic, once you get a load of these characters, you'll completely understand the tone of this review. These characters are less than one-dimensional! Nothing about them is believable. Every single aspect of this work breaks the suspension of belief trust any good movie must engender.More importantly, I feel, is that the believability is utterly destroyed once the premise is introduced. Sharks are not capable of being "trained and taught" as featured in this work. That's why the government used dolphins in their earlier debauchery in the first two World Wars, so the whole thing falls apart and leaves the viewer hanging there in the conundrum of a wholly unbelievable story, terrible acting, and poorly done sharks.SO poorly done were the sharks, in fact, that even the FINS, which is basically all you see except for 3 or 4 times total, look like shiny plastic triangles. They didn't even bother to paint these things to make them look as if they had any texture whatsoever! All in all? This was pretty sad and a huge disappointment, as I love creature features! Even straight-to-video films can be entertaining, but this didn't offer a single moment of entertainment. Every single aspect of this work breaks the suspension of belief trust any good movie must engender. This film fails on all levels and really isn't worth your time.It rates a 0.4/10 from...the Fiend :.

tbear68 Saw this listed on a premium channel on cable and thought it could be mildly entertaining despite the over-used motif of "killer sharks." I was wrong. What a waste of time and energy...not to mention BORING. Won't say it was the worst film of all time however I've not seen any worse than this one. Poor acting, weak overall story, lame exposition and cheesy special effects. In fact the special effects were only slightly better than the graphics on a Vic-20 or TRS-80 computer (OK, that's a bit of an exaggeration). No wonder there are no goofs listed for this one; I wouldn't know where to begin listing them.And to think was such a fan of Jeff Fahey as The Marshal.

czarnobog Whoo. This was an overly ambitious project considering its obviously LOW budget. Five super-sharks poised to deliver Jaws-like terror. The opening credits were wonderful. Wetting the appetite for a slick movie. To be fair, the production values are decent throughout, except for the cheesy shark fins. Computer animation is above par for such a low budget flick. Unfortunately Dan Grodnick doesn't have a clue about creating suspense or delivering scares. Although his actors for the most part tried to deliver credible performances, his characters have all the depth of those found in bad 80s porn movies. A few are so far over-the-top that they deflate any pretense of this being an actual horror movie. Played for humor, their scenes are tedious to an extreme. A blundering pop-jazz soundtrack adds to the annoyance factor. The action sequences are pathetic, no doubt due to the ambitious task of compositing the animated shark action with live actors on a shoestring budget, or choreographing the plastic shark fins. For adolescent fans interested in the T'N'A factor, it is non-existent here. There are some talented babes in very minor roles. Hopefully they'll turn up in better movies with more substantial roles.

Michael O'Keefe A top secret government project called "Blue Demon" is not what it seems. Marla Collins(DeDee Pfeiffer)and Nathan Collins(Randall Batinkoff)are a couple of scientist that are contending with a marriage dissolving while trying to "build" a new improved shark trained to seek out enemy weapons under water. The sabotaged project actually is to train sharks into being defenders...but covertly are being turned into weapons of war. A rouge General(Jeff Fahey)lets the sharks loose leaving the Collins couple to warn coastal California citizens. CGI not impressive. To be exact this movie isn't impressive either. There is some eye candy in the form of Fiona Gubelmann and Christine Lakin. Most acting is well over-the-top and after a while Danny Woodburn and Josh Hammond go from irritating to pathetic.
