It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Michelle Ridley
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Haven Kaycee
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

RELEASED TO VIDEO IN 2005 and directed by Danny Lerner, "Raging Sharks" concerns an extraterrestrial object that crash-lands in the Bermuda Triangle, which releases an alien substance that causes sharks to go crazy and attack an oceanic observatory station, beach goers and anyone else nearby. Corin Nemec plays the leader of the station and Vanessa Angel his wife, who runs the station in his absence. Corbin Bernsen appears as a wise sub commander and Todd Jensen a dubious government agent.This ain't your typical "Jaws"-copy shark flick; the plot's way more ambitious. In fact, there's well over two hours of material here crammed into an hour and a half. The production quality is akin to the usual Syfy fare but with a lot of cussing, which shows that it was released to video rather than TV.The creators must've been targeting 12-14 year-old boys because there's zero character development or suspense build-up. Something "exciting" happens every couple minutes, whether a shark attack, an explosion, a compartment flooded, someone getting knifed, shot, drowned, etc. Despite the continuous "thrilling" events to appease those with ADHD the first hour is relatively boring with zero artistic tact. Imagine if Conan the Barbarian knew how to play guitar and crudely tried to play the moving classic "Stairway to Heaven." That's a good description of this movie as it freely borrows from several sci-fi and shark films to barbarically fashion its own adolescent action flick.Thankfully, the last act finally delivers some genuine excitement and suspense, which is the main reason my grade is as high as it is. Plus Elise Muller as "Vera" is showcased effectively in a couple of scenes, but they could've done a lot better considering the female resources at their disposal. So, this is a bad movie, but the final act is impressively kinetic and entertaining, as far as action-oriented sci-fi goes. Too bad it's such a challenge to make it that far.THE MOVIE RUNS 93 minutes and was shot in Sofia, Bulgaria. WRITER: Les Weldon.GRADE: C

Imagine if you will; an alien spacecraft explodes sending debris to earth which collides with a ship sinking it...plus leaving an object on the sea floor that seeps mysterious crystals. Where else could this happen but in the Bermuda Triange. Some years later an undersea oceanic research station is built where oceanographers Mike Olsten(Corin Nemic)and his wife Linda(Vanessa Angel)discover that something is attracting various species of sharks to the location. A Navy submarine captained by Corbin Bernsen comes to the rescue when the space crystals cause the raging sharks to frenzy with a more than normal voracious appetite for human flesh. Other players in this creature feature: Elise Muller, Simone Levin, Binky van Bilderbeek and Jonas Talkington.

OK, don't get me wrong here, this is an awful movie. Awful story. Awful acting. Yet AWFULLY entertaining! Yeah? See what I did there? It's aliens, sharks, a thermos full of orange goo and Parker Lewis. How can you lose on this one? I don't know what it was about this movie, but, for as awful as it was, it was strangely entertaining. It made zero sense, but was fun to watch. Think SciFi Channel on a Saturday afternoon. It's that kind of entertaining. Keep in mind before watching it though, that it's going to suck. If you can shut your brain off for a minute and enjoy the (repeating) bits of stock footage, you might just get a few (unintentional) laughs out of it.

This movie was Horrible!!!!!!! My 13 year old daughter and 10 year old son were laughing at how bad this movie was. I rented it thinking it was another Deep Blue Sea and instead we got a Sci-Fi movie of the week full of stock footage.This takes place deep under water and yet many of the shark attack scenes show a shark swimming at the surface.The plot is incredibly thin. Who would design a research platform that when exposed to some trauma where the life support was cutoff would require the occupants to swim outside to engage the back up life support? We are told in the movie at 1 point that they have a 10 minute supply of air and yet fires are raging out of control all over the station.The acting is shoddy!!!!! Save yourselves people!!!! It's too late for me. Don't rent this
