This brilliantly executed concept--the title, the casting, the squiggly tornado CGI--was the most delicious chum, and we are creatures of instinct. Read full review

It's the whole over-the-top insanity of it all, the splendid and glorious belief that if you say even god-awful lines firmly enough, if you look hot while drawing some weapon with which you clearly have no familiarity, if you acknowledge the yawning chasms in plot by saying things like "This is crazy" and "Do you trust me?" often enough, your audience will stay with you. Which is the creative spirit that drives this town, shared by the masterpiece and the utter mess alike. Read full review

It’s absurd. It’s ridiculous. If you’re a fan of low-budget horror movies and you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Read full review

Sharknado is a classic among Syfy's B movies. It combines awesome sharks, guns, Hummers, and natural disasters into one epic movie.

The intended use of this movie is to be made fun. Best with a couple of open minded friends, sharing some drinks and laughter. That is just what we did and yes we had a lot of fun.

This film is a joke but unlike the emoji movie it is a lot better and funnier even with a equally terrible story. I found my self loving the characters and the climax was actually fun.

Sharknado is yet another terrible Asylum movie. It it ridiculous, cheap, has poor acting, a plot that doesn't make sense, and is just an all around pathetic film.

The only reason I'm rating it a 2/10 instead of a 1/10 is because there are some parts that are actually so bad that I laughed.… Expand

Sharknado is awful...just terrible. I'm not entirely convinced there was actually a script. There's no plot and barely a story. The acting reaches unheard of levels of bad and it's clear a small boy came up with the premise...it's your basic film from The Asylum and SyFy. However, it'sSharknado is awful...just terrible.

Sharknado attempts to ride the "so-bad-it's-funny" train, but comes across as lazy, stupid, and boring.

Tara Reid honestly gives THE WORST performance I've ever seen from an actress. It's so bad that it legit angers me.
