The Last Shark

“You're what's for dinner.”

Premium Crap. CrapScore 76, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
A seaside town faces an enormous shark while local authorities struggle with a familiar urge to keep the tourist season open. The imitation is brazen, but the wildly unconvincing mechanical and miniature attacks turn a borrowed emergency into unusually generous bad-movie entertainment.
