JAWS IN JAPAN (2009) BOMB (out of 4)Miki and Mai are on vacation when they go back to the home of a strange man when even stranger things begin to happen.JAWS IN JAPAN also goes by the title PSYCHO SHARK but no matter what you call it the film is a complete dud that lacks anything good. Well, let me take that back. Both Nonami Takizawa and Airi Nakajima do a good job in their roles as the annoying girl but everything else is pretty awful from start to finish.The biggest problem is that nothing here makes too much sense. At times there's weird video footage of the friends, which makes you wonder if it's going for THE RING type of rip-off. There's a shower scene, which I'm guessing is meant towards PSYCHO. Then there's the god-awful looking shark that finally shows up. None of it makes any sense and even worse is the fact that this lasts just 69-minutes.Be on the look out for the shower sequences where it appears the actresses didn't want to be nude so they re-enact the shower motions with their bathing suits on.

I don't know about you, but I always enjoy seeing pretty girls on vacation, giggling and posing for the camera in their bikinis. Maybe that's just me, though. Lots of suspense, not much horror, although the evil psycho "shark" is very wicked indeed. And it's a shame the cuties have their vacation spoiled. It just goes to show that if you're going to plan a trip to an exotic local, you really should make reservations and know where it is you are going.All in all, this movie seemed a lot longer than it was, since nothing much really happened until the very end. And it was odd that those bikini tops never even came off; that might have livened things up a bit.

Wow! This is arguably the worst international movie I've seen. I think no one had a clue about what they were doing, right from the script writers, the director or even the actors who looked confused about the happenings. The movie is titled Psycho shark. Although we don't get to see the shark at all till the very end of the movie, maybe the title is aptly put because this shark is truly unique, as it attacks on land too! Don't believe me? Watch the movie till the end to figure this out. The only good point I could mention here is the start, which brings excitement & suspense to the viewers but after that, the movie goes on a downward slide till the big crash at the end.Verdict: If you're a psycho, you wouldn't mind this movie. Or watch this to be one :)

I wish i could give this movie less. It does not warrant a 'so bad its good' award either, its just total muck. Pretty girls go to the beach, and talk...a lot. Some shady guys seem to be up to no good, but we never really find out much about whats going on. Pretty girls take lots of showers, in their bikini's.The EndOh OK so its not the end, but chances are you wont make it to the end. If you do you will get to see the 'Shark' in the title. It makes the syfi movies cgi look like the matrix and its on camera in the whole film for about 15 seconds max.ZZZZ Shark
