The description listed here for Ghost Shark is completely incorrect, apart from the fact that it stars a shark that is a ghost, and a couple of character names in common, the events of the movie are actually something different entirely. I kind of wish we had gotten the version described above instead though, 'cause this one sucked. Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible.

Overall : Ghost Shark knows what it is and how to please its audience with an outrageous plot, cheesy acting, and fun supernatural shark kills. No movie is more fun, nonsensical, ridiculous, stupid, and wonderful than Ghost Shark. This cinematic gem embraces its cheese understanding precisely what any person that sits down to watch a movie titled Ghost Shark would want to see - zero logic, 100% dumb fun, and outrageous shark violence. Is it awful? Absolutely. The acting is terrible, and the effects are worse, but what else would you expect? This is peak Syfy stupid creature feature at its best! What is more dangerous than a shark? How about a phantom shark that can attack its prey from any water source-toilet, sink, or puddle? It's bonkers in the best way!
