Movie Info

A very large shark has been terrorizing the workers trying to install an underwater cable of the coast of Mexico, so a resort security diver, Ben (John Barrowman), takes it upon himself to put a stop to the killing. However, a tooth he finds is identified by researcher Cat Stone (Jennifer McShane) to be from not a shark, but a prehistoric megalodon, thought to be extinct for 24 million years. With a crew of victims -- er, sailors -- they set out to hunt the beast. But little do they know, the big shark attacking their boat and eating their crewmembers are the babies, and their mother is really, really big -- and angry. ~ Buzz McClain, Rovi

Critic Reviews for Shark Attack 3: Megalodon

All Critics (5) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (4)

Shark Attack 3 ain't a great film, or even necessarily a good film. But it is most definitely a fun film. Spin it up as an appetiser for The Meg. Or as a post-Meg digestif.

[An} apropos motion picture maxim for Shark Attack 3: Megalodon would read "this time...it's miserable...Or horrible...Or copyright infringeable."

Bill Gibron
DVD Verdict
Sure this one may be "so bad it's good" but there's something about the flick's outright plagiarism that prevents me from offering it even a backhand compliment

Audience Reviews for Shark Attack 3: Megalodon

Jan 09, 2011

Possibly one of the greatest bad movies ever made! The fact that it takes itself seriously is what makes it so unintentionally hilarious. Worth watching just to see how bad it is. Congrats to David Worth for directing one of the most enjoyable films in recent years.

I love the ocean. Even if you're a 65 feet monster shark, you can always go unnoticed for a couple of million years in it. Craptastic is the best word ever!

Like a donkey show. So hideous it's fascinating.

This should be listed as a comedy. Has to be seen to be believed, never laughed so much at a horror!
