If you go down to the Louisiana bayous for a fun weekend of water skiing, drinking beer and lounging around in a bikini, you’ll probably become the unwilling participant in a snuff film. You see, some rednecks have attached cameras to the sharks for the purpose of selling the attack footage to snuff enthusiasts.

Just so we’re clear, though, these are not your typical, run-of-the-mill sharks, these are super sharks that can survive in salt water, grab a victim off a moving jet ski and fly more gracefully than Free Willy. They can also catch a victim hiding in a tree, which makes them smarter and more limber than that sucker you saw in Jaws.

The scheme is so profitable that the local Sheriff turns out to be in on it, and in a “white knuckle” climax he tries to feed our heroes to his favourite shark. “You know what’d be funny?” he says. “Hearing Morgan Freeman do a voiceover of you getting your head torn off.”
