Movie Info

Casper Van Dien, Ernie Hudson, Jenny McShane and Bentley Mitchum star in this thriller about a marine biologist doing research at a facility off the coast of Africa. Hammerhead sharks have long been a presence to be respected in local waters, but now they've started attacking people without reason -- apparently for fun. While superstitious locals fear demonic possession is to blame, the biologist thinks this may be the results of experiments performed by a former colleague turned rival. ~ Mark

Hilariously bad (and therefore entertaining) Z- grade shark horror.

The title takes a back seat to some boring conspiracy mumbo-jumbo.

I didn't expect to see a Jaws, but at least the story should have been better acted.
