On her way to meet up with her friends (Zoe Towne, Robin Hodge,
Christina Roman, Amy Osborne) at a beach house for some heavy partying,
Jill (Steph Goodwin) takes a detour to have a swim in the sea - and steps
onto a ouija board she then decides to bring. At the beach house, Jill and
company decide to try out the board, but learn nothing more than the board
seems to be ... mighty hungry?! The next day a giant ghost shark appears
and kills itself to Jill's friends. Jill calls her dad (John Migliore) for
advice, as dad has knowledge of the occult, but dad only tells her to
trust her psychic abilities she hasn't even known she has until now - and
thus her fight against the ghost shark is a mighty uneven one ...
Ok, if you buy a film called "Ghost Shark", you
probably don't expect the next Citizen Kane, maybe not even the Citizen
Kane of shark movies. And in a way, Ghost Shark is pretty much
as silly as its title sounds, plus its rather modest budget is very
obvious throughout the film. But that said, the film is actually funny,
has some really witty dialogue, oneliners and situation comedy. And it's
really the film's strength that it nevertheless doesn't go the moronic way
and goes for every gag in the book but plays it straight for the most part
to let its humour sink in - and that's what makes it ... well, not the
greatest movie of all times, but a rather cool party movie indeed.
