Shark Week: Marina Monster (2008)

 Marina Monster (2008), dir. Christine Whitlock, CJ Creative Productions 


Bit of an odd one. Apparently the third film in a trilogy, I skipped over the first two as neither one dealt with sharks. 

Earl Molar (Trevor Crane) is just a working class joe, earning his pay at the Center of Inland Waters. He's dating Oceana Anchor (Michaelle LaHaise), daughter of his father's rival. Oh, and a bull shark as set up shop in the marina.

Will the shark be stopped? Will Commodore Molar (Ray Kohler) and Commodore Anchor (Andre Ciere) stop having sex with all the available women long enough to care? Will people stop pushing other people directly into the shark's path?

Yeah, a kill count of about 40, with most of a result of people either pushing, dragging or in one case, leaping directly in front of the shark. I know we make jokes about people watching films rooting for the monsters, but yeah, you WILL be cheering for the shark in this one, never mind how obviously fake it looks.
