Ghost Shark

     I watched this one for many reasons.  Mostly because of my obsession with all things shark but I also wanted to know how a Ghost Shark would work.  The answer is, pretty much like Pet Sematary.  Badly wounded shark swims into sacred cave and dies then is reborn with a thirst for vengeance.  The idea of a Ghost Shark is not the unbelievable part of this film.   Believability goes out the window when you realize that (Spoiler Alert) any water will do.      
     Even with a concept approaching ridiculousness, Ghost Shark provides some pretty creative kills.  It is also full of the mandatory Jaws references.  In this case ripping lines straight from the classic film.  The shark effects are pretty decent here with the ghost looking better than the actual shark.  Still, Ghost Shark lacks the sense of fun that Sharknado had.  It is ok as a time killer but would do better paired with similar fare like Shark Night, Bait, or the aforementioned Sharknado.
