Professional Reviews

• B-Movie Central: “Sand Sharks knows exactly what it is: a low-budget creature feature. Don’t expect cinematic brilliance, but if you’re in the mood for some cheesy fun, it delivers with ridiculous kills and intentionally bad dialogue.
• Schlock Horror Daily: “While the premise is undeniably silly, Sand Sharks doesn’t quite embrace the so-bad-it’s-good potential. The effects are cheap, and the pacing drags in places. Still, it’s a fun watch if you’re in the right mood. But the right mood is either really drunk or a huge fan of Brooke Hogan.

Audience Reactions

The sheer ridiculousness of sharks swimming in sand makes this a fun watch!: Viewers generally agree that the movie’s humor and over-the-top kills are the main draws.

Overall Consensus: Sand Sharks is a so-bad-it’s-good B-movie that’s best enjoyed with friends and a healthy dose of irony.
