David Love Difficult to know what to make of this one. I think at some point the director Daniel Grodnik realised that his script was so stupid and the actors (the male ones particularly) so poor that he started to make this a comedy. There are some genuinely funny lines here. Even so, what a waste of a lot of good looking actresses and rubber sharks. After the first scene (passable, and memorable mostly for the granny pants) there was no blood, no severed limbs, no tension, suspense, plot twists. Not good enough to be watchable and not bad enough to be on the all-time worst list.

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 :.

slayrrr666 "Blue Demon" is a rather unnecessary shark film.**SPOILERS**Marla Collins, (Dedee Pfeiffer) and her ex-husband Nathan, (Randall Batinkoff) are engineering Great White Sharks for a special military contract, and are able to get some results before the project is shut down. An accident during the demonstration of the sharks releases them from their holding tanks, they get loose, causing a major panic at the laboratory. Tracking both the sharks and the government operatives on their trail, they try to stop the insider on the project from using the sharks for their personal gain.The Good News: There's very few good qualities about this film. The fact that the film actually has some occasionally funny bits, as practically any scene with their dwarf of a boss or the incessant complaining about the status of their marriage will attest., these provide some choice comedic moments every now and then, and several of them are actually funny. The opening sequence is perhaps as good as it gets in the suspense and scariness categories, and actually gets the biggest death in the film. It's appropriately enough for a good bang opening, which makes it far more memorable than later on. Other than those two things, there isn't much else in here.The Bad News: As much as I wanted top like this, there's three factors here that doom this beyond all hope: the rating, the clichéd script, and the lack of shark action. For a film about a group of killer sharks, it's almost unforgivable to have less kills than the number of sharks in the group. That's what happens here. And there isn't a huge number of sharks in the group, either, and there was plenty of opportunities for the sharks to get some more kills in. There's at least three scenes of them gathering around a potential victim only for them to be saved at the last moment or the sharks are diverted away from the prey and they are able to escape. It grew frustrating after the third such encounter, seeing as how it's hard to generate much fear in a creature that can't kill any unsuspecting prey. That alone is a major obstacle to get over, as is the cliché manner of the script. Everything in here has been covered before in other, better films. There is at least a dozen films this steal elements from on display here, and that's just giving a quick cursory glance. Looking harder, there's probably a good dozen or more that it steals from. This just feels repetitive, and for a sub-genre that doesn't offer much originality to begin with, that's another major strike against it. The death blow, however, is the rating. All of this could've been forgivable had the few attacks it had been incredibly gory and featured lots of blood. Sadly, there's nothing in here at all worthy of being called gory, and it's hard to even call the film violent. Take out some language bits and this could go down a further notch. It doesn't even matter that the love interest took up most of the first half, negating the sharks to the second half or that they look as some of the most unconvincing creations from a computer, it could've been at least decent. But that there alone kills the film more than it's other major two problems.The Final Verdict: Incredibly boring shark film with very few redeeming factors to help it along. It's all been seen before, and the rating does it no help. Only see this if you're afraid of sharks or need to see every one of them ever made. Otherwise, don't really bother with this one.Rated PG-13: Language and some violence

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.
