Storyline

The mutant sharks from Dr. Craven's experiments in "Shark Attack 1" are back, this time choosing Cape Town, South Africa as their hunting ground. Two sisters, Amy and Samantha, while diving near a wreck in the reef are attacked by a shark; Samantha survives. One week later, Dr. Nick Harris and his assistant get the shark and install it as a new attraction at Water World - a Sea World rip-off. When the shark escapes, Nick and Samantha go to hunt it and discover that there are 6 mutant Great Whites living in a cave near the beach, and the Water World's surfing competition might be the next victim! Now they team up with Roy - a Discovery Channel shark hunter - to kill the beasts and save Cape Town.

Pretty lame

It's hard to believe that the first "Shark Attack" movie was popular enough to justify making this sequel. It's also hard to believe that this sequel was popular enough to justify making a part 3! Anyway, it's nice to see a Nu Image movie filmed in South Africa that's actually set in South Africa (though the credits reveal some of the movie was filmed in Bulgaria.) And a few shots look fairly slick, though there are also some real cheap-looking moments, not just because the movie is filled with an ample amount of stock footage. The movie also rips off several elements from the original "Jaws" movie, even recreating a famous moment using the zoom lens of the camera! But the biggest problem with the movie is that it isn't very exciting or involving. There is a curious casual feeling to much of the movie, much of this coming from the fact the movie runs way too slow for its own good.
