Raiders of the Lost Shark Trailers

Four friends set out by boat for an idyllic vacation on a private, remote island. But unknown to them, a weaponized shark has escaped from a top secret military lab nearby, a shark that was genetically engineered with hate in its blood, and programmed to hunt any human within range. Now, these friends must band together to battle an all new brand of predator who will stop at nothing to remain at the top of the food chain.

Just like the underrated classic "Jurassic Shark", also by actor and director Brett Kelly, Raiders of the Lost Shark convinced me with fantastic effects, awesome acting and a story line that made the movie totally believable.Even dialogues in French, will you believe it, are included in this timeless classic.If ONLY we hadn't run out of beer while watching it, I would've given 10/10, but the remaining bit of sobriety stopped me from fully enjoying this masterpiece.

OK, I will start with the fact that I do enjoy the ridiculous shark/monster movies of late i.e Mega Piranha, Robocroc, Mega Shark VS etc, they make me smile! I can't help it. But this film is beyond them, this film is so dire it makes me lose faith in the fun of the others.The story line doesn't make any sense. It jumps about and never seems to go anywhere, I tend not to judge a film until watching it all the way through, but this, I couldn't last any more after 35mins. And as for the shark, even Jaws 3 would be disappointed.DO yourself a favour, pass on this mess and watch anything by Roger Corman, now there is a man who makes a fun movieThere's always Troll 2...

If you look at the artwork for this movie, you think it sounds bad but might be good for a laugh. If you watch the trailer, you will be convinced that this movie will be terrible but watching the movie itself takes terrible to a new level.The characters in the movie are not developed and are weak. The storyline is absolutely hopeless. The acting is horrible. There is no horror in this movie even though they claim there is, I couldn't help but laugh about how bad the effects are.When I started watching it, I thought that maybe it was an amateur 80's porn movie by the quality of the camera work and the bad acting but as I let the movie go on it never got any better, but there were no erotic scenes.At one point, the story has you "concerned" for the actors in a boat that has gone out to the island, but when they cut to scenes from the boat you can see other boats in the background but there is no concern for their safety as I am pretty sure they weren't supposed to be there or be noticed but I am assuming time is money and they didn't want to wait for the other boats to move for the take.The movie does have a couple of really bad digs at itself proving that they knew it would be made when they wrote/filmed it.I wouldn't recommend anyone ever watch this movie. It is truly a waste of time.

First of all, the posters and description are highly deceptive - it is a very low budget movie ($320,000) and they could not afford any helicopters, airplanes or even water surfing. So none of the shots in the poster are there in the movie. All the special effects are created on someone's desktop computer (or possibly public library). The 'underwater' camera shots are taken in only a few feet deep water. Deep water 'shark' video clips have been taken from nature documentaries. Most people become 'victims' of shark when they are standing in shallow water or swimming a few yards from shore or a small boat (the only 'vehicle' or 'equipment' used in the movie). There are flabby, really bad actors in their swim suits. The previous credits of "director" include being a "camera-operator" in one production of the same company (which bears his name).You will have more fun in a high-school production. This is probably the worse movie I have ever seen.
