Review

This third entry in the rather insignificant Jaws-emulating Shark Attack series has the required combination of dead seriousness and total ridicule that is often the basis for a cult classic. Unfortunately, Shark Attack 3 isn't quite bad enough to end up in that category. That doesn't mean potential viewers of this farce should get their hopes up. The quality of the acting, the premise, and the special effects here may be amusing at first, but rapidly become painful to watch. With that said, director David Worth displays a couple of useful ideas during the film's first half, and if you can't seem to enjoy anything else, you'll at least love when the painfully synthetic dialogue is relieved by a moment of hilarious ad-libbing by John Barrowman.
