Ghost Shark




      The Syfy Network has decided to ride the wave of Sharknado fever.  They bring out their original movie that combines two of their favorite subjects:  sharks and ghosts!  The spirit of a shark wrongfully killed seeks vengeance on an unsuspecting town.
       Ghost Shark is one of the better Syfy original movies.  Too bad its attempt at Twitter recognition went a little flat.  Ghost Shark just doesn't have the trending sound to it, like shark tornado does.  The plot keeps around the main characters and shortly breaks off for soon to die characters or the small B storyline.
       And small B storyline that is.  There is a plot revealed about the crazy old man and him accidentally murdering his wife.  The wife's spirit is rarely seen, but continues to play a bizarrely crucial role throughout the plot.  She is a part of the second act that forces us to the third.  Luckily, there was a museum curator who though he doesn't believe in ghosts is more than willing to show these kids how to defeat a ghosts.
       The greatest thing Ghost Shark offers is the massacre of its victims.  A lot more kids die than I would have suspected.  You'll never drink a glass of water again.  Also, apparently, obese is the new black.  That's progress, ladies and gentlemen.
