gavin6942 When the crew of an underwater lab discovers an unearthly sunken object that is mysteriously attracting hundreds of sharks, they become a security risk and a target.I do not think this film deserves a real review. It is another shark film, plain and simple, and not a good one. From executive producer Avi Lerner, who also brought us "Kraken", there seems to be the idea that throwing in a big squid or shark is all it takes to keep an audience watching.The shark subgenre has been done to death. It started off strong with the classic "Jaws", but has gone downhill ever since. The Jaws sequels are decent for what they are, and other shark series are okay. Now we have more than a handful of megalodon films, films that have sharks fighting octopi, a film with a shark crossed with an octopus ("Sharktopus")... By comparison, "Raging Sharks" is bland and just one more on the heap. You can make a hundred slashers, each unique, but there are only so many ways to have a shark attack and it has been milked to death.I am not going to lie... I spent more time listening to this film than watching it. I just could find nothing to hold my interest in it. Nothing. I am sure those involved with the production put their best effort in, but starting with a lackluster concept can only get you so many good results.The cover of the film proudly announces that Corin Nemec is in it. And that is true. But if your first reaction is wondering who Nemec is, you are not alone. It is bad enough trying to carry a film with pop star Tiffany or Lorenzo Lamas, but if your star is Corin Nemec, why even hire actors we have vaguely known at all? Do not watch this film, please. I own it ass a part of Echo Bridge's Horror Four Pack. I have now watched half of the films, and they are both garbage. The next two are about werewolves... I want to believe they cannot possibly be worse.

Mollie I have to begin by saying that I am an avid B-movie fan, especially when it comes to sharks. I have had some good laughs at deep blue sea and Jaws 4, but rarely has a movie been so bad that it breaches (no pun intended) bad and moves to just plain annoying. I agree with a previous fan that the best part of the entire movie was the old man slowly removing his hat in sorrow. And can I ask a question? How did the main character (the one who doesn't die) get to all of the places that he shows up in in the beginning of the movie. I know that there were some major time lapses, wetsuit changes for example, but...what? It was probably just the alien tube, some wormhole door. It's good to know that now a days, when the movie running time is too short, its OK to show clips from previous parts of the movie. That's OK now. And so is showing an actor deliver the same line, but just from a different camera angle. And were all of the actors just placed in this movie because they had no lines as johnny depp's or Angelina Joli's stunt doubles? Oh and I figured out how the lady (who is without oxygen for a substantial amount of time) lives after the explosion of the lab which...gently opens that hatch door. Her lips suffice as an oxygen reserve. Who knew! It's a good thing too, because her husband took that "please secure your own mask before helping others" too an extreme. But I guess over-all the movie wasn't that bad. I mean, I'm sure I never would have thought to use the hundreds of air tanks to breath with once the oxygen ran low. I'm sure I would be too distracted by my inability to act and the symmetrical bursts of fire. I probably would also be distracted by the growling sharks. The only time is was OK for anyone to put a growling noise against a shark was at the end of Jaws when they played an old dinosaur roar for the sinking great white after it had been blown-up. I know the movie was terrible, but it could have been 100 times better (and I only say that because anything times zero is still zero)without the Sahara sound-effects. Oh, and next time they want to use computer animation for sharks, they should just give me a call. They can just use my screen saver. It would save them money, because there is no way they actually made a profit off of this movie, and they could continue on the theme of cutting and pasting footage from other movies. I also have a toy shark that squeaks. Maybe they should just use that. People who loved this movie will also love:~Open Water II (make sure you watch it on an old TV, because will be throwing things at it) ~Shark attack 3 - Megaladon (contains one of the most amazing pick-up lines ever)I will give it a 3. 1 for the old man on the boat. 1 for the made-up alien language. and 1 for better luck on their next film.

bhmildy There's a great drinking game hidden in this movie. All of the scenes, plots, characters, settings, dialog seem to be lifted from other movies. Sadly, this movie would be better if they just cut and pasted all the clips from each movie together, rather than reshooting them. But I think if you recognize something ripped off from another movie, you should get to drink.ie. Star Wars: film opens with alien space ship passing before camera The Abyss: incidental appearance of nuclear attack submarine unfriendly commando(s) underwater research station aliens at the bottom of the ocean Operatic music when aliens appear husband and wife together in underwater base Deep Blue Sea: smart sharks that are team players Jaws: the beach scene, including water-level camera angle Jaws2: aircraft gets attacked by shark Alien: blue collar crewmen, sassing the female boss Aliens Pvt Hudson & the unwilling tech guy ("Game over man", vs. "I'm not going out there") The Black Hole cowardly dude gets what's coming after stealing the escape podLeviathan: sunken cargo ship with dangerous cargo symbolical breaking to helpless support shipand lots, lots more. I'll stop here, because my BAC is approaching critical.Favorite bits: the seaplane approaching the base, yet with the shore only a few hundred yards away. Our heroes, who swim faster than a nuclear sub, and faster than the sound of the explosion which would have otherwise concussed them. Fearless leader, who suspects the health inspector is from the CIA, which is obviously your first choice when thinking about groups of really mean guys Sub Captain, who lets any old health inspector aboard his nuclear attack vessel, without making that phone call to check up on them, first.

Jeff This movie was a hoot! Bad stock footage, bad acting, bad story, just plain bad. Lots of opportunities for a laugh. I don't think they meant it to be a comedy, however. I especially enjoyed (was highly amused is a better term) the growling sharks. They appeared to be great whites in several shots, but sounded like 'tigers' (g). The acting was rather wooden which contributes to the overall poor production.Basically, an alien space accident results in a module being cast into the ocean. A few years later, a portable lab is positioned close to the module, which we later find out triggered a signal into space. This apparently causes the sharks to go into protect mode and they begin killing off anyone coming close. The module contains a material which, when mixed with something (Deuterium?) produces cold fusion. The government (or military/special ops) knew about the module (how?) but had not been able to locate it until the lab stumbled upon it, thus setting off the signal (how was the signal detected?). Various action scenes ensue with many people being eaten (no truly great footage here, only a couple of good shots. One such shot of reporters falling into the water after their 25+ foot boat is attacked and sunk by a (as in one) 'raging' shark. The shark chows down and we see a camera with an arm from the elbow down still holding on.).Many things to criticize. Ten minutes of oxygen left in the lab turns into several minutes of chase/fight scenes with fires blazing everywhere. The starring couple (Vanessa Angel looking rather pouty with her botox-laden lips) starving for oxygen at the end while sitting in a diving prep room full of tanks (and them in wet suits). The lab disintegrating at the end and yet the couple miraculously appearing in full scuba regalia and surviving the accent (several hundred feet in seconds?!?!). Many, many other such inconsistencies.If you can maintain a sense of humor throughout it's a fun movie, however poorly acted/scripted. If continuity issues bother you I wouldn't recommend this movie.2 of 10 - above a 1 only because I like Vanessa Angel, though not one of her better films.
