Summary of reviews

Google search

Monstersandcritics.com drew a link between this and other older "fun films, laced with implausible plots, brilliant poster art and laughable dialogue demanded that you show up ready to suspend disbelief, prepare for a scare and always left the audience entertained" and that some aspects are "hilariously over the top. Think Al Pacino's Cuban accent in Scarface times ten", but concludes that in the context of its genre, "We wouldn't want it any other way."

heraldReview.com described it as an "awful movie" of the legendary kind which mandated watching.

Chicago Now gave it one star out of 5 as a "low-budget joker" and "cheesy, mindless fun" [1] stating there had to be a "fun drinking game" in it and the best thing about it was the title.

Dread Central was condemnatory of the "rubbery" monster, "exceptionally chintzy" effects and "some of the worst acting ever seen in a Syfy original movie", concluding that users who did not regularly watch "schlocky shark flicks" would probably enjoy laughing at "this silly offering in which half the cast sound like they were voiced over by George Lopez".

GenreOnline felt there were "a few too many stock establishing shots" which were repetitious, but the special effects are "actually pretty good", concluding the film should be approached "with a sense of humor".
