3-Headed Shark Attack is just one in what is becoming a really long list of disaster movies that exploit cheap CGI effects in order to give us a giant freak of nature destroying the seas.But I did get some enjoyment out of it. I watched it out of pure curiosity over Karrueche Tran, who I know nothing about except for who she use to date. Not the best actress in the world, that's a given, but easy on the eyes, and delvers her lines like someone who gets it.Same thing with Danny Trejo, who I hope got a nice big paycheck for being himself in this movie. He even takes a machete to the shark. Seeing Trejo be bad ass in a movie is always worth seeing. My favorite moments came with Rob Van Dam who was the third name on the poster. I don't know if it's his first movie, but he did some bad acting, but like the others you can see he was having some fun with it.Plus, there was some nudity, and people got slaughtered quite horrifically, so you have that.It's a fun film to watch if you run into it.

Not really, but did anyone think it was gonna be? The predecessor: "2 Headed Shark Atttack" was nothing short of a masterpiece.Who knew that a shark with 2 heads could inflict such fright in it's viewer? Steven Spielberg didn't for instance if he did he would have made Jaws have 2 heads instead of just one With 3 heads involved you imagine the fright to be even greater, but such is not the case.Not terrible by any means and a above average when it comes to Asylum-movies and most of the cast actually made an attempt at acting which is nice to see, in many Asylum-movies they can't be bothered.If you like 'so bad it's good' type of movies then yeah you can do worse than this for sure.Just don't expect the laughters and cries you experienced from watching '2 Headed Shark Attack'. A movie that in many minds were robbed off plenty of Academy Awards the year of it's release.

Let's just say that each time the "shark" ate someone, I was hoping it had room for one more. I simply cannot understand how anybody would want to invest other than time in watching this piece of crap, and I do believe the producers should have their heads examined along with the people conceiving the plot. I actually like and respect Danny Trejo as an actor, but he should definitely have passed this part along with the remains after his breakfast. More specifically, it is the profound idiocy in this movie that really turns me off. I don't mind watching D-movies as long as they are have a certain minimum of innate logic, and to point to some examples I better first write this:SPOILER ALERT:Don't read this if you want to see this movie without first learning about some of its more blatant flaws. The actual action starts when this 3-headed fish arrives and for some reason decides to rip a large underwater research facility apart. At first it just swims a little around and is spotted by some visitor named Brad who see its shadow, complete with a large tail fin swinging from side to side some distance away. Now, everybody knows of course that a whale will swing its tail up and down, but Brad, who according to his own statement ("Nah, it's fine professor. We've all kicked it with whales before!") should have known better, mistakes this typical fish-mode of swimming for that of a large whale and waddles out in the water to have a better look. The water is not deep at all so when this guy almost reaches a large collection of floating debris it reaches no higher than a little bit below his knees. In the mean time wee see this gigantic shark, which I estimate to be something like 15-30 meters long (its size seems to fluctuate throughout this movie) and perhaps 2-3 meters tall and with a back fin no less than 2 meters in height, approaching with its head immediately underneath the floating debris. The back fin turns out to be no problem because it somehow manages to tuck it away so it does not stick up through the floating debris, thus warning Brad. Then it finally comes close enough to initiate a giant leap out of the water, and we are talking a leap at least twice as high, relatively, as one of the great white jumping sharks you might have seen on TV, and who requires at least a depth of 4-5 times their body lengths to build enough speed for the jump. Brad is of course just standing in his knee-deep water with open mouth and an expression of surprise all over, and then the shark slams right down on him and disappears deep below the surface of what must obviously be solid sand. Amazing. The rest of Brad's buddies on shore then run for the only safe place on this atoll that have probably been above sea level for hundreds of years - yes, they of course run deep down into the facility, which is then trashed by the shark, that also manages to snatch some guy sitting on a toilet by jumping up through the floor. At this point in the movie I actually started to expect the shark to start jumping out the faucets, but no. Then they all run upstairs and decide to swim out to a little boat one by one rather than staying in complete safety on land, and the rest is so stupid that it is hard to fathom. Why can't the shark catch a couple of slow swimming "actors" when it has no problem swimming faster than a speedboat on other occasions? How come the water is completely still around the boat while the "actors" discuss their options when we have just seen one of them fire it up at half speed? Why would I waste maybe half an hour of my precious life writing this critique when I have seen at least ten movies just as bad, or worse? Who reads these reviews anyway?

Christopher Ray, a gifted and visionary director, has crafted a very unique horror film of extraordinary quality that at the same time serves as a significant cautionary tale regarding pollution of our oceans. While the idea of a rampaging 3-headed shark may seem ridiculous at first, certainly in light of the fouling of our great seas there are mutations occurring that are truly frightening. Jacob Cooney and Bill Hanstock, superb screenwriters, have penned a screenplay of stunning insight and show a clear understanding of the dangers humanity faces if the madness continues. The tension, suspense, and terror in this incredible film are unrelenting and so powerfully intense that it becomes virtually unendurable by the shattering climax. An important motion picture that is also the finest entry in the Monster Shark genre in quite some time.
