SYNOPSIS: A great white shark is nearly killed by redneck anglers and goes off to die in a special cave: A magical cave which resurrects its spirit to wreak bloody vengeance on anyone in the town who is near water! Now only some plucky teens and a curmudgeony alcoholic lighthouse keeper have a ghost of a chance of stopping the carnage!

Smithee Award Nominations

Most Ludicrous Premise
Eldritch Resurrection Rune Cave The rednecks wound the great white nigh unto death...and it dies in a handy-dandy magical rune cave that unleashes its vengeful spirit!	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

Worst Special Effect
Vibrating Sharksplosion Probably the best sampling of the horrible CGI this movie offers. Shark coming. Gets stabbed. Vibrates. Explodes. Even they don't buy it. Shark not dead, but eats Bull-from-Night-Court's fingers.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

"Alas, Poor Yorick"
Drinking the Shark Here's a story to tell around the water cooler. The clerk has a splitting headache and goes to get a drink. Now, I know we're supposed to believe that the Ghost Shark can manifest in ANY amount of water...but this was just a bit too hard to swallow.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

Deus Ex Machina
Deus Ex Marina First, Cicely fails to notice the telltale bright blue glow...twice. Then, she's attacked and swallowed...only to be spit back out with just a little cut on her leg. The only character to survive a direct attack from Ghost Shark. Maybe she tastes bad? No explanation.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

Worst Picture
Plumber, Slip-n-Slide, and Car Wash Great montage of awesome kills -- perfect for a Worst Pic clip!	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

Directors

Director	Claim to Fame
Griff Furst	Probably known best as the handsome, slightly- squinty, high-foreheaded actor who was Phillips in The Magnificent Seven (2016 version). But also the director of many an aquatic-creature flick: Lake Placid 3, Swamp Shark, Trailer Park Shark, uh... Nightmare Shark...I think there's a theme here.
