    • Trivia
      Shot in eighteen days.
    • Goofs
      (at around 34 mins) When the crew arrives at April's house, the water gushes in from the window, beginning the indoor shark fight scene. Immediately after this, when the characters leave the house to look for Matt, the water level outside is almost nonexistent.
    • Quotes

      Baz Hogan: Storm's dying down.

      Nova Clarke: How can you tell?

      Baz Hogan: Not as many sharks flying around.

    • Crazy credits
      The closing credits start, appropriately, with the word 'Fin', which is Spanish and French for 'End'.

    Is there any possible way to give it less than 1 star?
    I'm going to start off by saying that this movie was absolute crap! I know that the premise is intended to be stupid but that no excuse for it's terrible casting, story structure, and character development! The actors in this movie are absolute crap! It's almost as if they aren't even human, they're cyborgs that speak very dull and have no kind of development whatsoever. It's movies like this that proves that the general public will watch whatever piece of crap is on television! If you watch this movie all the way through, I can guarantee that you will either lose a lot of brain cells, or puke at the repulsing sight of this god awful movie!
