    Sharkansas Women's Prison Massacre: Crap on a biscuit
    Sharks again, really? This time Traci "Controversy magnet" Lords and Dominique "It almost looked like I was going to have a decent career" Swain star in yet another shark film.

    When a group of female prisoners transport gets hijacked it comes down to them and the prison guards to team up to fight off the onslaught of "Wait for it" Sharkasaurus's. Prehistoric sharks that can move through land as easily as water! As you can imagine it's pretty dire and the distinct lack of budget cripples it. If you can't afford to make a movie about these beasties then simply don't!

    Ironically the most famous performers in this film are the worst actors, maybe they just can't be assed anymore. Could you if you were in a movie called Sharkansas Women's Prison Massacre?

    The Good:

    Couple of decent enough performances

    The Bad:

    WTF level cgi

    Generic, clichéd, the works

    Things I Learnt From This Movie:

    Every shark movie creator thinks that a giant shark can swim & sneak up on people in a foot of water

    Men are non-committal, women are mysterious

    Traci Lords should have stuck to porn
