Zombie Shark (2015 TV Movie)
4/10
Bad

Warning: Spoilers
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.
