RevRonster Okay, the film is terrible and this attempt at ripping off "Jaws" was very obvious. They even make sure to limit the shark's screen time but take it a little too far as the story very, VERY often forgets there's even an existence of the shark.The editing, the acting, the unnecessary nudity...all these factors work against the film and it actual has no redeeming qualities that I could find. Normally, I'm a big fan of bad shark movies because they are some of the best accidental comedies you can find but this one felt so poorly produced and put together that I felt sorry for it and couldn't laugh at it as it stumbled its way through a story that already felt like it had no idea what it was doing. The only thing I found interesting was the film seemed loaded with accidental subtext and hints that the two male leads, despite constantly chasing tale, may have been in love with each other the entire time. If that was the intention, the film could have been ground-breaking and interesting but it wasn't and just the fault of odd acting choices from the two leads and a director who really loved close ups of these two actors staring at each other with a lustful passion that burns hotter than a million suns.Hi! My name is Rev. Ron and I love movies. So much so that I write a blog where I review whatever film I am watching at the time. You can read a more in-depth review of this film (and others) as well as an interesting theory about accidental subtext in this film at my blog at revronmovies.blogspot.com.

Leon Clussier How idiotic was this film? How is this film even a Jaws rip-off? Jaws had a story, hell, Barracuda had a story - this film has real footage of a meandering Tiger Shark and it's NOT scary.The best part of this film was Susan George and Fiona Lewis, both looked stunning when they wear nothing.As for the 'plot' - 2 guys hang out, pick up women, have 3-somes, and hunt sharks - why? Does it matter? And the way these guys act when they pick up women - WOW - you know you're in a movie as this stuff would never work in real life.If you like beaches, boats, real shark footage, and Susan George pouting, watch it....but if you are expecting a good 'fish' film...steer clear...very clear...

joey-rodriguez First of all, I don't understand why any movie made in Mexico gets this "bad, cheesy, laughable" comments. I have watched this movie several times and it's better than the killer shark movies produced now-a-days by the Sci-Fi channel.The plot is simple yet effective, the acting is what you would expect from a 70's movie. The shark attacks (specially the one at night next to the boat with a REAL shark) are really believable, it achieves it's goal of scaring the crowd in my personal point of view.The only thing I didn't like was the excessive nudity, although it keeps it groovy to say the least. A good Saturday night pop corn flick if you have no plans to go out or if you just want to have a good time while cuddling in the couch.

gchoa I consider myself a genuine fan of bad cinema as much as the next guy but this film was truly awful, in an often hilariously inept kind of way. I understand that this was an exercise in exploitation but it just seemed to lack any real sense of cohesion whatsoever. Whatever sense of suspense and/or horror the movie strives for is invariably trumped by a total sense of ineptitude and absurdity. To add insult to injury, the relentless use of actual real-life footage depicting the merciless slaughter of marine life of every kind only made an already tough movie going experience almost unbearable.Sitting through this movie is like rubbernecking one's way past a bad pile-up on the freeway involving a caravan of clowns or circus performers.
