Shark Lake lacks bite. Its audience doesn't even get to revel in blood and guts; the whole thing seems like it was edited for broadcast. Read full review

It's a B-shark movie. We get the expected bad acting, poor writing, and bad special effects. Unfortunately what the movie fails to deliver on is the fun these kind of movies can often bring in a guilty pleasure sort of way. As a result what we get is just dull.

With the exception of an over-the-top, British reality TV star and a chick getting part of her leg bitten off, "Shark Lake" is sadly devoid of any sense of fun that can come from the Syfy original movie ilk this one seems to be cut from the same cloth of. Instead it tries to go for the take itself serious root. A bad move given it's predictable drama elements and bad actors. We don't care about these characters or what's going on in their lives. We're just here to see sharks eat people.

Unfortunately the movie doesn't really deliver on that either. Most of the shark v human action is pushed to the final third of the movie. The majority of the movie is about supporting it's human conflicts, which are stupid and generic. When the sharks do finally get around to killing fools, the bad CGI and tame deaths suck the fun out of even that element. The most fun comes from watching Dolph Lundgren awkwardly wrestle with the water and a rubber shark torso. It's fun for the wrong reasons.

It's a B-movie devoid of B-movie fun. It's dumb, boring, and can't even deliver any exciting kills. Rather tame, completely pointless, and totally not worth watching. Seriously, just don't waste your time.
