People who interested in this kind of movie usually don't expect good story. They tend to look only for the gore, the special effects, or nudity. Well, this movie sucks in all those three aspects. The gore is laughable, the special effects are very cheap, and the nudity is none. Don't waste your time watching this garbage.

A small number of people are under threat from extremely badly animated CGI sharks which don't die when they are killed, thanks to idiot scientists. Two shrill and annoying sisters spearhead the defence, assisted by a mild paramilitary type and a comedy barman. A surprisingly large number of people stumble without explanation or reason and fall into the sea in order to become shark fodder.I should stop watching rubbish like this, honestly I should. The title alone - Zombie Shark - is fair warning, but this is a particularly poor entry in both shark and zombie genres. It can be argued - just - that there was some mileage in the general idea but, unfortunately, any potential was strangled at birth by inept execution.The script lost me when the barman raises a bunch of vigilante warriors armed with hoes, rakes, wheed-whackers and the like, and urges them to rush into the sea to take on a milling maelstrom of zombie sharks while exhorting them, "Don't let them bite you!" The acting is nearly as good as the script (that was sarcasm), but the special effects could have been done better by a teenager with a ZX-81.This is bad, but not bad enough to be entertaining.

For those that like low budget movies this one would be too up market for you.For those that suffer ultra low budget movies along with a beer and chips this would suit you. I thought it was a comedy but it is shown as a Horror Sci fi.If you are aware of Sharknado it was a low budget film.Perhaps the producers had some money (coins only) left over from the making of Sharknado and made the movie 'Zombie Shark'.I have just sat through some of the corniest, dumbest, most idiotic comments, scenes and action sequences associated with a film .....EVER.I actually missed a bit of the movie. I went away and did the dishes, came back and realised I had missed 'bugger all'.It would be difficult to pick holes in this 'comedy, horror' movie as it is just one large hole although the ladies would be attractive to unmarried men I am told.However, if you have 1 hour and 15 minutes of your life to waste laughing, shaking your head in disbelief while drinking (lots of drinking) I still might not recommend this movie unless you had started drinking beforehand.To prepare yourself for the 'Zombie Shark' experience I suggest you watch "The Blob', 'Them', perhaps a teen movie and only then subject your last few working brain cells to 'Zombie Shark'.For those that wish to suffer 'Zombie Shark' the movie you MUST watch the last 3 minutes.In fact rent it if only for the last 3 minutes.

As the latest entry into the seemingly endless monster/supernatural/killer shark pantheon, Zombie Shark (AKA Shark Island) is suitably daft, but enjoyably so. The premise is pretty much The Walking Dead meets Jaws (with a side order of Moby Dick) and often has a knowing comedic tone and some fun gore. However, there is also an emotional element that is not usual in such films, principally the dynamic between Amber and Sophie which leads to a very unexpected ending, and the motivations and back-story of Dr. Palmer, and Laura Cayouette plays her effectively and with a strong degree of gravitas, again, a quality not often seen in films belonging to this mad subgenre. But, before I get too carried away, such depth is almost scuppered by the more inept aspects of the film: the less-than-convincing CGI sharks that either has sharks oddly bobbing about or moving with a mechanical tail-action that suggests that they are not so much zombies as mini-mecha sharks; an 'amazing' glove puppet shark head; the much-vaunted terrible storm that never actually arrives; dubious greenscreen backgrounds; some jerky editing that prematurely cuts some scenes, and the casual throwaway of the Bridgette character (as much a victim of vicious editing as, well, I won't spoil it). Also, the zombie shark himself, Bruce, needed more screen time and visual focus to fully establish his unique quality that sets him apart from his reanimated selachimorpha charges, and the addition of human zombies is an undeveloped tack-on. But, Lester and his beach pal's counter-attack against the undead sharks is amusing and Jason London provides solid military heroics. So, a bit more CGI/effects care (or less CGI and more prosthetics) and Zombie Shark could have led the killer fish pack, but it still has a human factor the others lack, and it needs to be commended for that.
