Other sharks would go "oh no you didn't!" to this movie...

Okay, well you just know that chances are 95% likely that a movie such as this 2016 movie titled "Dam Sharks" is going to be just another ultra low budget shark movie with horrible special effects.

And guess what? ... It was exactly that.

I mean, bull sharks that build dams out of wood and human remains? Are you kidding me? Who comes up with this kind of stuff? I suppose James Kondelik and Jon Kondelik did. And no, this wasn't even so goofy and campy that it was fun to watch. No, it was just cringeworthy.

The sharks were poorly made and didn't come off as being realistic at all. No thumbs up for the CGI team for their accomplishment on "Dam Sharks". And having creatures that are realistic and look proper is a definite must for a movie such as this. And having this poorly animated CGI sharks just sank the movie to the bottom.

Well, the CGI and the laughable storyline. The plot and script in "Dam Shark" was so generic and mundane that even a blind person could see what was happening next. It was just atrociously predictable and way too generic.

The only performer in the movie that was familiar to me was Jason London. And I thought that the movie might actually have a chance of being watchable when he was in it. But no...

If you enjoy shark movies, you must take heed and stay well clear of "Dam Sharks". There are far, far better shark movies available out there in an abundance.

My rating of "Dam Sharks" is a generous three out of ten stars, mostly because this was a shark movie after all. A bad, bad shark movie though.

Bull sharks in the river

Of all places for a shark attack - an inland river- is invaded by bloodthirsty bull sharks thanks to a massive storm. To escalate problems, the sharks build a dam out of human remains in order to trap prey. Up river, an ambitious tech firm is hosting a wilderness retreat featuring archery, paintball and a raft race...let the feeding frenzy begin. Swimmers find more dismembered body parts upstream where another damn is being constructed. What will stop the construction of these damn dams?

Those Dam Sharks

Dam Sharks! has a great title. The exclamation point gets you ready for a comedy and that's kind of what you get. Imagine seeing the trailer on SyFy with Superman font.

The actual film is less exciting than you'd hope. Most of the characters are exaggerated stereotypes from science fiction films that you've seen previously from their dress to speech. There's an annoying boss, sexy female assistant, tough guy, redneck, and nerd. None of the intended humorous dialogue between these characters really hits home due to how familiar it is. This writing is rather lazy when you think about it. Nothing requires dialog unique to the story. Not that there is much story anyway. The lead average joe and journalist are somewhat better written in that they actually interact with the plot.

What is unique is the sharks' behavior in this film. The sharks for some reason explained by a few lines of dialogue build dams with the corpses of the people they attack. There is a story lurking in this premise. Maybe an environmental message. The film doesn't bother to explore beyond the fun visuals of seeing CGI body parts fill an ordinary wooden dam. At least it is an excuse for an animal that needs only a few dozen kilos of food per fortnight to attack a large group of people in a single day. Most shark films aren't that thoughtful even if the premise disguises the true intent.

There are not a lot of river shark films at least. The CGI is passable but the kill variety is lacking. Several victims are attacked in the air walking across bridges or ziplining. Many more are attacked in their boats. The film could have used some variety of attacks and more practical gore effects so it becomes quite boring by the end. There is at least an homage to Batman's suit ups when a character puts on a vest that's more visually interesting than any shark attack. If it isn't obvious by now, Dam Sharks! runs overly long despite its short runtime. Maybe if you saw this between commercials it would be better because you would forget how repetitive it is.The film has a marketable title and attractive actors and low budget shark films can be better than this. You're better off picking up the Shark Bait set or Meg-A-Shark set if you live in North America and going through the films there to find something better.
