the lousy of all lousy jaw rip offs be regretfully make by one of my all time favorite director while lamberto bava ( here under his john old jr. pseudonym ) . you know how it go in these cheap european imitation and right . they only want their monstrous animal to be be big and sick and more threatening and but this more than often result in the opposite effect . bava creature be a humongous sea devil and it more than just a shark . be seemly deal with a prehistoric monster here and with the jaw and appetite of a great white and but it also have tentacle like an octopus . it up to a couple of dolphin love oceanologists to discover how this monster be able to survive all these thousand of year and why exactly he only start his kill spree now . the script of monster shark make few to no sense and most of the action take place on the mainland . the shark itself be an unintentionally laughable creation and it be a wise decision of lamberto bava to only show it vaguely and in quick flash . the acting performance be above average and the underwater photography be surprisingly clear and well handle . the twist in the plot be predictable and you will probably have the most fun spot detailed fact about the character . for example represent count all the can of beer dr. hogan drink throughout the whole movie .
