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.

After seeing this film, I've come to the conclusion that, Plan 9 From Outer Space, should have won an Oscar. Bad acting, bad plot, bad dialog, un-scary sharks. The list could go on and on. I actually sat through this entire film, hoping it would get better, but Noooo! Now Jeff Fahey's character was the only redeeming factor in this movie, and that was for the comedic value of his part. Poor Jeff must have needed some serious pocket cash, or he must be a close friend of the Producer's. There were several cute girls in the movie, Whitney Sloan, being one of them, but even they couldn't save this poor excuse for a horror film. If you're an Ed Wood fan, you might like this flick, but I think Ed's movies are far far better than this...

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.

Blue Demon tells the tale of six genetically altered super aggressive sharks, genetically altered by the husband & wife scientific duo of Nathan (Randall Batinkoff) & Martha Collins (Dedee Pfeiffer) together with their assistant Avery (Josh Hammond), the purpose of these sharks are seen as a weapon to defend the U.S. Nathan & Martha's boss Van Allen (Danny Woodburn) intends to sell this fantastic shark to the military & sets a meeting up with General Remora (Jeff Fahey). Unfortunately when the big moment arrives & the sharks need to do their thing it appears that they have escaped their underwater enclosure, scary eh? Nathan & Martha desperately do all they can to try & locate the killer sharks before they reach public water & start eating their way through the local Californian population, while Nathan & Martha realise what a danger their creations pose to the public there are other's who don't share their caring attitude & want to cover the problem up & get the sharks back...Co-written, produced & directed by Daniel Grodnik Blue Demon is an awful film make no mistake about it. The script by Grodnik, Lisa Morton, Ron Oliver & Brett Thompson is meant to be a horror, sci-fi, action mix but fails miserably in it's attempts & comes across far more like a comedy as there is plenty to laugh at. Anybody with half a brain will spot the flaws in logic & sense while anyone familiar with the horror genre will spot all the clichés & stolen ideas from Jaws (1975) to Deeep Blue Sea (1999) both of which are far superior to this piece of crap. From the fact that these genetic experiments on sharks seem to be completely useless to the ridiculous notion that a shark can carry a nuclear device in it's mouth, this is really bad & poorly thought out. The ending sucks as a nuclear explosion would wipe half the coast away & the you can see the so-called twist coming a mile off. Blue Demon also features one of the most unintentionally hilarious scenes ever, at the end Martha uses a round life saver to capture the bad guy. She throws it & it lands over him & for some bizarre reason he drops his gun & is completely defeated, you have to see the scene in question to know just how funny it is. There is also a funny bit on a beach after one of these sharks has attacked, just look at everyone's reactions & facial expressions, absolutely hilarious.Director Grodnik doesn't do anything to help matters & Blue Demon is dull to watch. There's no excitement, tension, atmosphere or scares. There is no reason to watch this film at all, it's as simple & straight forward as that. The special effects are absolutely awful, the CGI sharks are hilarious in themselves but it doesn't stop there. No, once in a while we get to see the sharks fin above water which is obviously a rubber prop which moves along at about 1 mile an hour, my Gran could probably swim faster than these guys! Very, very funny to watch. Forget about any gore either, there's a severed arm & that's it. Nowhere near enough people get eaten or attacked.Apparently shot in about two & a half weeks I'm surprised it took them that long, Blue Demon is a poorly made, poorly thought out film that has nothing going for it. The music has that familiar Jaws sound to it. Then there's the cast, why cast a midget? Having said that the female cast members are very easy on the eye, which helps things. Fahey obviously needed money badly.Blue Demon is a really bad film that does a passable job as a comedy but comes nowhere near as a horror or action film. This is definitely one to avoid, watch Jaws again instead. I'll give it a couple of stars because there's a few good looking babes in it & it's funny on occasion but that's by no means any kind of recommendation.
