6/10
So bad it become glorious fun...
14 September 2021
Sure, when I sat down to watch the 2017 movie titled "House Shark" from writer and director Ron Bonk, I have to admit that I was expecting absolutely nothing. But still, it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, and the movie here seemed like it could be one of those low budget movies that are so bad that they actually transcends into becoming enjoyable.

Lo and behold, and that was exactly what "House Shark" was. Man, oh man, this movie was low key and low budget, ultra low budget. But it was the cheesy and lousy effects, the terrible script, insanely laughable characters and dialogue, and the home-made special effects that all contributed to "House Shark" and made it into what it was. And what was it? An enjoyable low budget shark movie.

The storyline here was pretty much out the window from the beginning, but it was so terrible a storyline and plot that it was actually fun to sit through and watch "House Shark". This is the type of movie that you just laugh at and shake your head in disbelief.

The characters and the dialogue in the movie were bad. Very, very bad. But trust me, it added to the charm of the movie, because it fit right into the movie alongside everything else that was equally bad.

The acting performances in the movie were as to be expected. But again, it fit right into the movie and the overall feel of the movie.

The special effects were off the roof, in a bad way. Yes sir, this was hilarious to watch. That shark was among the worst I have seen, but it was so grotesquely bad that it was fun to watch it on the screen. Then there was the thing with the flooding and underwater scene. Wow, that was definitely unique, and it was worth sitting through. The idea behind that scene was just brilliant. And then there were the strings that held things afloat in some scenes, hilarious. The fake beard needs to be mentioned too. I could go on and on here, but it is something that needs to be experienced and seen firsthand.

"House Shark" is something you definitely have to sit down and watch, should you have the chance. Especially if you enjoy these low budget, cheesy bad movies.

The movie's cover over-sells the movie by several light years.

My rating of "House Shark" lands on a six out of ten stars. I was quite entertained by this low budget movie.
