Sharktopus -3.5 MT
It's called Sharktopus. What else do you need to know?
OK, mad scientists working for the Navy make a sharktopus which is controlled by a device superglued to its head, (like Dr Octopus in Spiderman 2). Naturally, this is knocked off early on, and the sharktopus heads to Mexico for Spring Break with mad scientist, hot daughter, rugged hero and various others in pursuit. Most people die, most of them amusingly. The sharktopus can roar and get around on land for a bit. Who will win? The plucky heroes or the sharktopus? From the same cinematic stable as "Dinocroc vs Supergator" and "Piranhaconda".
Sand Sharks -3.0 MT
Sand sharks are sharks that swim in the sand. Hence the beach is not safe. What else do you need to know?
The great thing about this movie is the storyline involving the mayor's deadbeat son who wants to put the small seaside town on the map by throwing a party to rival "Burning Man". The last time he threw a party, apparently, several people died. The party, when staged against the advice of all sane people who point out that there are sand sharks swimming in the beach, has about 30 people. It's like the party scene in "Revenge of the Party Nerds".
Despite the presence of sand sharks and a high casualty rate, no one seems particularly disturbed by seeing death close up.
This scores slightly higher than Sharktopus because of the crusty old sailor who volunteers to catch the sharks, just like in Jaws.
Both movies unfortunately lack gratuitous nudity.
