House Shark (2017)
6/10
Absurdly unapologetic and fun!
22 August 2018
This is about as unapologetic as they get with what it is. It knows it. It embraces it, and it runs with it full steam ahead. It's a low-budget, absurdly goofy homage to JAWS, and a few other films. Everything about the film works because of that fact and they seemed to just run with it. It has all the issues you often find in lower budget films, but it doesn't hinder it from being enjoyable. In fact, that aspect enhances what's wonderful and awesome about it.

This isn't going to be a film everyone is going to enjoy. In fact, outside of a niche group of film lovers and JAWS fanatics, I'm guessing it would just leave people scratching their heads. It's lewd, crude, and goofy. The humor is very tied to what they are referencing, and at times very juvenile. Don't get me wrong, those are the things I loved about it, but they are a big part of the movie and everyone might not appreciate those aspects.

This is one I want to have a bunch of friends over for and have fun with. It seems like the type of film that would only get better with a crowd.

My Rating: 6/10
