2-Headed Shark Attack



"Two heads is twice as many teeth!"

Thank you Asylum, you finally lived up to one of your film's titles. The promise of an entertaining shark attack movie was actually fulfilled, complete with blood and nudity!

2-Headed Shark Attack feels like a legitimate movie. The plot is thin but coherent, and the pacing is good, never getting nearly unwatchable like Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus. The acting is, of course, terrible, but there are some recognizable people among the cast which somehow makes it slightly more tolerable.


Brooke Hogan gets stuck in between the heads of the vicious beast.

and the effects! They're actually really neat! They're totally awful, but in a self-aware way. There's an actual animatronic shark in this, instead of relying on CGI (which it also has a lot of). The film still has some annoying Aslyum-esque editing going on during the action/attack scenes, but it's much more entertaining than anything else I've see by them so far.

I was left with a sour taste in my mouth after Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, but 2-Headed Shark Attack made me a little less hesitant to try out whatever shark movie Asylum comes up with next.

Critical rating- 3.5/10
Entertainment rating- 7/10
Shark movie rating- 7/10
