An underwater earthquake cracks open a crater deep beneath the ocean surface unleashing a prehistoric predator. Jimmy Green (Corin Nemec), prodigal party boy and son of the mayor, returns home to White Sands, with a scheme to breathe some life into the dying economy (and clear his debt to a mobster) by throwing a huge spring break party, the Sandman Festival. Jimmy runs into his ex, and now Deputy Sheriff, Brenda Young (Vanessa Lee Evigan). She and her brother the Sheriff want to close the islands beaches in fear of further shark attacks which would ruin Jimmy’s plans. Brenda calls in an expert, shark scientist Dr. Sandy Powers (Brooke Hogan), meanwhile the attacks continue to ensue.
Dr. Powers says it appears to be a sand shark, a beast which moves through the sand as if it was water. By accident, the shark is electrocuted, but it’s soon discovered that that shark, though gigantic, was only a baby. The festival continues, thousands of college kids arrive, just as dozens of sand sharks make their presence known having been attracted by the vibrations of crowd and the PA system. The most menacing beasts to ever rule the waters, now rule the sand; mercilessly feeding on anything that crosses their path. It’s a giant feeding frenzy and it’s up to Brenda, Sandy, the Sherriff, and Jimmy to stop the carnage.
I'm surprised there is no thread about this movie yet. It looks very promising to me. I cant wait to see it even if i doubt theaters are going to play it in my country. I'll wait for the blueray.

I think "Sand Sharks" will take the audience on an emotional gut wrenching journey.
This movie will explore not just what it means for human society if sharks could travel through sand, but also what it means to be human.
Only the most uneducated of film critics would be so harsh against this magnum opus. The trailer alone reveals a host of social issue's that will be adressed in this cinematic masterpiece.
Sand Sharks serves as a subtle parody on the irational fears that we as a society hold close whilst also turning around and warning us that we should not be so rash as to ignore fears simply because they appear at first glance to be irational. Surely, Sand Sharks is the ring master and we are all but clowns dancing to it's circus tune.
Not since The Wire has there been a cinematic production that will adress the issue of class in a way like Sand Shark promises to do. "Spring break is off the hook," so speaks an obviously uncomfortable black character. His voice seems filled to the brim with melancholy, a harsh life has left him unable to enjoy such hollow entertainment as spring break.
The partying people represent the middle class. Slowly but surely their numbers dwindle, but tell me, how so, how so?
An amateur film critic would say that the cause is Sand Shark, but is that so? Or is it the capitalist upper class that demands the party (laissez faire capitalism) continues despite Sand Shark?
Sand Shark is the proletarian, destined to clash with the middle-class when the true enemy is the capitalist upper class that forces the party (laissez faire capitalism) to go on, despite knowing better.
Sand Shark will tear your heart and soul out, break into pieces and leave you wondering what it means to be human.
Make way "The Wire" there is a new king of cinema in town.
A geological failure on the bottom of Lake Victoria opens a breach and releases prehistoric flesh-eaters piranhas. Meanwhile, it is the Lake Victoria spring party where teenagers arrive in to drink beer and booze, get sun tanning, swim in the lake and have sex. When the local Sheriff Julie Forester and her Deputy Fallon discover how danger the lake is, they unsuccessfully try to avoid the tourists to jump into the water to protect them. After saving many teenagers, Sheriff Forester learns that her family is trapped in a yacht that is stranded in the reef and heads in a boat with an acquaintance to rescue her children and family.

How you even could consider that is beyond my reach. This looks like top-notch production value, original storyline (who ever heard of shark harassment with economic consequences to a vacation resort before? you could make a really good story out of that!), and cutting-edge CGI! Will definitely see this!

Really don't see what looks so promising about it? It seems like the average, mediocre/bad, horror/action flick. Bad special effects, bad(not great atleast) actors etc.

It's a so-bad-its-good movie, potential is inversely proportional to quality.

I think it's just sarcasm getting lost to the internets.
Some people like watching really bad movies though, I recall watching "The Protector" with bunch of friends a few years back and while it was completely awful I can't recall when I last time laughed as much as I did when watching it.
I don't get the appeal of this kind of movie. There's a billion good movies made a year from all around the world, why on earth would you spend your time on something like this junk?
It may not be Ice Sharks, but Snow Shark has already been made.
I'm also amused at how many people in this thread don't know about Syfy movies - try youtubing Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, or Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus

That is so unfair ... even though british humor like 'Yes Minister' is great, we can still laugh at fart jokes
A guy sits in front of TV all day, farting like there's no tommorrow. But not just gassy airish farts, I'm talking mega greasy wet ones, the kind that would make your dog puke.
The wife, understandably is angry as f**k, and says: "one day Honey, you are gonna fart your guts out."
THe next Sunday, as wife is preparing Turkey for sunday lunch, Hubbie falls asleep. The wife spies an opportunity to get her own back, so she takes the innards of the turkey and places them in the underwear her husband is wearing. She then went back to cooking the turkey. Later on that night, her husband came to the dinner table looking very frightened.
"What happened?" asked his wife.
"Well," the man said, "you were right. I farted my guts out."
"What did you do?" asked his wife.
"Well with the Grace of God and these two fingers I got 'em all back up in there!"
seriously though, I really want to hear how they explain the logic behind sharks breathing out of water and living in sand... seems like a modern day troll of Jaws but we'll see

At least they got a decent director who worked on such original productions as: Transmorphers, The Terminators, War of the Worlds 2, Alien vs Hunter, Snakes on a Train. In fact among his 34 directed works I'm struggling to find more than 1 with a rating over 3.4/10.
EDIT: I guess that was just his cinematography I was looking at. He was also the editor of classics like Titanic II.

Will likely be just as bad, if not worse!
Watching Piranhas in 3D was like, the best cinematic experience of my life.
High point was the underwater-ballet-porn shoot with super elegant classical music.
Me and MC were basically sitting there trying realyl really really hard to not laugh out loud in the theatre.

Dear god ow my sides. Is it possible to subscribe to a poster? Please tell it is!
I saw the poster and decided I have to watch this. It's either so unbelievably bad that it's hilarious, or a pleasant surprise. Either way, I'm coming in with my expectations at floor-level, so I know I won't be disappointed.
Also, if you want to see monsters attacking from under-ground, go watch Tremors.
