Abby (Stephanie Ward) and Greg (Michael John Gilbert) run a cryptozoology vlog - with at best limited success though, as despite all their talk about monsters, they have never shown a real one yet. Enter Dr. Lovnik (Olga N. Bogdanova) who hires them to hunt down the Graveyard Shark (Brandon Wheeler), a rather obscure sharkman who's supposed to haunt a local graveyard. It's not even that Dr. Lovnik necessarily believes in the Graveyard Shark, she just runs a self help group for survivors of Graveyard Shark attacks. But of course, when she shows Abby and Greg the graveyard in question she's promptly eaten by the Graveyard Shark. When Abby and Greg tell the sheriff (Ryan Santiago) though he very much blocks all their attempts to find out more and denies the existance of a Graveyard Shark, attributing the doctor's death to a bear. Wanting to learn more, Abby meets Captain Seyburn (Berndele March), who claims to have fathered the Graveyard Shark with a mermaid (Sifundo Nene). And soon enough, the Captain, Abby, Greg, and members of Dr. Lovnik's self-help group (Madisen Zabawa, Olivia Walton, Daniel DeFranco) convene at the graveyard to destroy the Graveyard Shark for good. But the Graveyard Shark has a terrible secret ...

Given all the ridiculous films the sharksploitation genre has given up I hesitate to say this one takes the cake, but it's certainly one of the more ludicrous ones - which the film totally turns to its advantage: Apparently, writer/director Matthew A. Peters is fully aware of his movie's silliness and at times really pushes things beyond the limits (like when Madisen Zabawa actually seduces Graveyard Shark), and while the film follows a traditional horror formula and has all the suspense, the jump scares and the gore in all the right places, it's also full of hilarity, that always manages to remain at least one step away from going fully moronic - and all of that adds up to great genre fun for sure.
