      Aired as the fifth of six original films in SyFy's 2017 "Sharknado Week" lineup.
    • Goofs
      At minute 13:00 one of the characters is swimming back to the sub which is submerged. The character then is shown climbing into the sub through the hatch, which should have flooded the sub when it was opened underwater, but didn't. Next scene, the sub is still underwater.

    Another s*** shark movie
    Right from the start this starts off bad - despite being set in the ocean (sort of Waterworld meets Mad Max) it was obviously filmed on a beach, probably the same set used for the equally atrocious Planet of the Sharks. With the exception of Ashley de Lange, who plays a Carrie-like shark caller, all of the cast, along with the script writer, deserve to be thrown in the ocean & fed to the sharks. The bad acting is painful to watch. Poor CGI. And sharks do not growl!!! Very bad film.
