•A pack of sharks terrorizes the population of an African town. An American scientist ends up as shark food, but his death is classified as an accident. A friend of the victim, marine biologist Steven Mc Kray, goes to the place to investigate the death of his companion and discovers a terrible truth: some sharks have been genetically manipulated for cancer research, and now they have become voracious. One could tranquilly define this as the "tarocca" version of "Deep Blue," indeed the plot is practically the same even if it is not known who copied from whom, in fact it seems that this "Shark Attack" is earlier. Anyway, the movie turns out to be rather poor, the protagonist is a Casper Van Dien at best inexpressive, the sharks are seen little (but perhaps this is a luck, seen the "special effects"!) and the attacks of the terrible predators always resolve themselves "only" in a red stain in the water. If you have nostalgia for "Jaws" the advice is to rent the Spielberg masterpiece again or, at worst, to watch the recent "Deep Blue" and to leave "Shark attack" alone.
