Uriah43 This movie begins with a young woman named "Danielle Harrison" (Shannon Lucio) who wants to join her two friends, "Karen" (Bianca Lishansky) and "Alicia" (Genevieve Howard) in southern Florida for Spring Break. Unfortunately, her father is dead set against it so in order to be with them she lies to him on where she is going. Once she gets there she is slightly startled at how aggressive some of the guys are. But what nobody realizes is that the guys aren't the only sharks looking for fresh meat in this particular area. At any rate, rather than disclose any more of the film and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that I was mildly surprised with the way the director (Paul Shapiro) managed to combine the flavor of Spring Break with the horror of a shark movie. Now, obviously being a "made-for-television" movie this film doesn't include any profanity, nudity or sex. Even so it still manages to maintain some suspense here and there. Likewise, having the three actresses mentioned earlier certainly didn't hurt the scenery in any way. In summation, while this surely isn't the best "shark movie" ever made it still wasn't that bad. That said, I give it a rating of average.

Paul Andrews Spring Break Shark Attack starts as cute teenager Danielle Harrison (Shannon Lucio) decides to disobey her father & head down to Florida for the spring break to be with her friends, while there Danielle hooks up with her Shark expert brother & meets the likable & handsome Shane (Riley Smith) who works for his mum renting out fishing boats. Seagull Beach is a popular hangout with the locals looking to party although an artificial man made reef has attracted lots of wildlife to the area including lots of man eating Tiger Shark's who start feasting on anyone they come across in the water. Danielle, Shane & her brother discover the truth but the authorities won't listen & a full blown Shark attack on Seagull Beach & everyone there seems only a matter of time...Also known under th title Dangerous Waters: Shark Attack outside the US this Soth African & American co-production was directed by Paul Shapiro & is yet another really awful 'Creature Feature' from the Sci-Fi Channel that manages to be just that little bit worse than usual, imagine a mind numbingly bad cross between Dawson's Creek (1998-2003) & Jaws (1975) & you still wouldn't be close. The majority of Spring Break Shark Attack concentrates on teen angst & their problems like fights with over protective parents, dating, peer pressure, making the right decision & even date rape with the Shark attack angle coming in a very distant & lonely second, the Shark attack angle actually feels more like an afterthought & the sub soap opera dramatics feel like they were given priority. The Shark attack scenes are awful, there's no build-up or tension & no pay-off whatsoever as they are as tame as they come. The whole thing is very predictable (gee, I wonder if that Shark repellent device Danielle's brother is working on will be used later on?), the character's are awful, the dialogue is poor & it's just terrible with a really slow pace that makes you just want to press the fast-forward button. Spring Break Shark Attack isn't even any fun in a it's so bad it's good, it's just insultingly bad in all aspects.As already mentioned the Shark attack scenes are amongst the worst I've seen, there obviously wasn't a special effects budget & as such most of the Shark footage seems lifted from a wildlife documentary & the actor's are never seen with them, only the typical fin above water is shown at the same time & there are maybe two shots of a fake Shark as well otherwise it's people splashing around a lot & not much else. There's no real gore here, a bit of blood in the water & a couple of bite marks but nothing else, the original Jaws is gorier than this.Although set in California this was apparently shot in Cape Town in South Africa, the scenery is nice enough but a beach is a beach no matter where it is, right? The acting is bad, really bad although a few of the girls are quite cute I suppose. Respected Australian actor Bryan Brown probably needed the money & fancied a free holiday in South Africa.Spring Break Shark Attack is a mind numbingly bad 'Creature Feature' of the worst kind, far too much tedious drama & too little Shark attack. This isn't even any fun, it's just a boring chore to sit through of the highest sloppiest & most predictable kind. Even die hard 'Creature Feature' fans will have a hard time liking this.

herminator64 Eric Peterson who commented this movie before me must have some thing to do with this film, because i cant believe anyone giving this a 10 out of 10. Its really av bad movie with some nice chicks, and micro thrills. Regret that i saw it, a waste of time.I'll give it 3 out of 10 because its not the worst movie I have seen, but not far from it either. It could maybe entertain young people as they don't see a movie like adults.I almost forgot the bad effects and sharks looking like stiff plastic. Mainly the movie is about some young girls and a couple of boys hanging out on spring break. There isn't as much shark thrills as expected. i cant believe someone would spend money on making such a bad movie, as it has a lot of statists and effect, though they are bad just like my English. Sorry for that.Summary: Se Jaws instead!

Michael_Elliott Spring Break Shark Attack (2005) ** (out of 4) Silly made for TV flick about teens going to Florida for spring break only to have sharks infest the water. The performances are all annoying and the director grew up watching way too much MTV but it's bad enough to be mildly entertaining. Some footage of real sharks are used, which was a nice touch but the rubber sharks look like something you'd see on the Muppet Show. The side plot about date rape is a tad too much. Unlike Jaws this was a film where I was actually cheering for the sharks.
