Reception

On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 0% based on reviews from 5 critics.[2]

Scott Weinberg of eFilmCritic.com gave it 2/5 and called it "Hilariously bad (and therefore entertaining) Z- grade shark horror."[2] Michael Dequina at TheMovieReport.com was critical of the film saying "The title takes a back seat to some boring conspiracy mumbo-jumbo."[3] Dennis Schwartz of Ozus' World wrote: "I didn't expect to see a Jaws, but at least the story should have been better acted."[4]

Sequels

Two direct-to-video sequels followed Shark Attack. Shark Attack 2 was released in 2000, Shark Attack 3: Megalodon was released in 2002. Shark Attack 2 briefly mentions the events of the first film while Shark Attack 3: Megalodon ignores the first two movies entirely and acts as a stand-alone sequel to them.
