Reviews

Despite its impressive potential for campy fun, "Ozark Sharks" fails to deliver on its promises, panned by critics for its lackluster execution, poor special effects, and overall predictability. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a measly 17% rating, with one critic calling it "a forgettable shark flick that struggles to stay afloat." IMDb users were equally unimpressed, rating it at 3.4/10, with reviews citing wooden performances and a thin plot as major drawbacks. Metacritic labeled it as 'generally unfavorable reviews,' with many pointing out the film's lack of originality and failure to capitalize on its intriguing premise. On the bright side, some viewers found entertainment in its B-movie charm and over-the-top shark attacks, acknowledging its so-bad-it's-good appeal.
