Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws (2015)

What happened? The first Ghost Shark was a low-budget creature masterpiece, but the sequel was a total disaster.

The first Ghost Shark was a low-budget delight that clearly established its rules and stuck to its hilarious and outrageous formula with lousy CGI and acting that just added to the fun. But Ghost Shark 2 ignored everything that made the first movie fun. The idea of bringing ghost sharks to a large urban center was promising, but it failed by rewriting the rules established in the first one and, in fact, didn't connect to the original movie at all. It also felt like it was shot in someone's backyard. Ghost Shark 2 wasn't a low-budget movie; it was a no-budget movie. I highly recommend the first Ghost Shark and highly recommend avoiding the second.
