As animal smugglers attempt to transport a species of ancient shark, they fuck things up and accidentally unleash the beast into the Louisiana bayou. Not good that the community is only one week out from their popular Gator Fest and the locals are beginning to get gobbled. Much to the chagrin of Sheriff Watson (hell yes! It’s Robert Davi). Not just because it’s his jurisdiction, nope, he was also behind the smuggling and is trying to keep it a secret. So when the first local turns up badly mangled, he attempts to shift the blame in the direction of a local woman (restaurant-owner Kristy fuckin’ Swanson) who has a gator attraction on site at her restaurant and keeps rebuffing the sheriff’s advances. Unfortunately, she took a shot at the shark and the fact that the freshly dead man had a bit of a scuffle with the restaurant’s gator wrangler the day prior, makes the suspicion justified. We know what’s behind it but it’ll take everyone else a little bit of time to catch up with us. Anyways, the shark ate some gators who have tracking devices in them so Swanson, her gator-wrangling brother, her boyfriend (the restaurant’s bartender) and a mysterious stranger who has the hots for Swanson (don’t blame him) played by D.B. Sweeney go hunting. There’s also a gaggle of sexy teens partying on the lake because we have to make sure there’s plenty of chow for our marine hero… I mean villain. Swanson’s likable younger sister is hanging out with the drunk dopes because they took off on their boat when she tried to warn them to stay off of the water, blessing us with a reason to give a shit about the group of victims-to-be. The chubby/nerdy chef figures out the shark is heading to Gator Fest and Wade Boggs turns up as a deputy. Louisiana charm and a giant digital shark (sometimes an immobile rubber head) mix well, especially when you get to spend a lot of the movie lovingly gazing at Kristy Swanson… there’s also an asshole bartender who resembles the unholy spawn of John Stamos and TJ Miller hanging around, so it has that going for it. The shark jumps out of the water and bites the head right off of a peeping deputy (somehow, not Wade Boggs) and I dig that.
