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.

Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus


The Asylum must have spent 70% of their budget creating the cover for this movie. I should have learned my lesson after Titanic II, but the title of this movie caught my attention. How can you avoid something named "Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus"?

Well you should, first off, the characters look nothing like they do in that artwork, and second they only show up for about 3 minutes of screentime in an excruciatingly painful 90 minute movie.

To put this simply, I hated every part of this movie that didn't have a shark or octopus on screen. There were admittedly a few entertaining sequences, like the infamous plane attack, but overall I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Just look up clips of the two fighting on youtube and save yourself the trouble of sitting through 90 minutes of this crap!

Hello and Welcome to Great White Films


Hello there, I'm Sen and I will be your guide through the many movies about sharks, and possibly movies that just happen to feature sharks in them! I've moved from an old website, www.sharkfilms.4t.com, which I found hard to keep up with and FULL of nasty ads, so I decided to create a blog to post my feelings about the various shark movies out there!

So... hello... welcome...
