Opinion

This is a bit more like what I was expecting from post-Sharknado schlock. But even schlockier. A bunch of friends and family decide “Hey, we can make our own shark movie!” using their lakehouse and motorboat.

But instead of terrible CGI sharks, we get terrible rubber & papier mâché sharks. Sweet!

Unfortunately we get too much of the non-existent acting and not enough of the laughably bad effects. And it’s nothing like the poster, of course.

Score: 1 out of 5 sharks.

Screenshots

Cocaine Shark - title

The classiness of the opening titles belies the shittiness of the film.

Cocaine Shark - Skellington

Skellington!

Cocaine Shark - Guy vs Glasses

The actor screams “Shark!” But the reflection in his glasses screams “Person with a tripod!”

Cocaine Shark - Shark-crab eats a guy

Hammerhead shark/crab hybrid eats said actor.

Cocaine Shark - Guy melting

Shark/crab also melts people?

Cocaine Shark - shark-man

Shark/man is still on the loose! Beware the papier maché!

    I started watching this over the weekend but I couldn’t get past the first 5 minutes. The acting was just SO bad. And I watch a lot of b-movies…

      I don’t think the acting was bad. I think it just wasn’t . As in, it didn’t exist. There was no acting, just people saying the lines they were supposed to.

      I’d already given up on Narco Shark so I felt I needed to stick through one of these shark movies. (The sunk cost fallacy?)
