3. Shark Attack 3: Megalodon (Sharks)
To be fair, sharks are probably something that you'd do well to be cautious, even afraid of, given their tendency to, you know, tear human beings limb from limb, as made abundantly clear to us all by way of Steven Spielberg's masterful Jaws. If the master filmmaker did bad PR for the toothed, blood-smelling sea-dwellers, Shark Attack 3: Megalodon plays like a satirical piece intended to engender them back into our favour, given how horribly the human beings come off in this one. All you need to know is it's a giant shark movie. With the worst visual effects known to man. Starring John Barrowman. Yes, that Doctor Who guy. This film is hysterical, namely how the size of the shark appears to change throughout the film for no reason at all, merely to accommodate the over-sized object it has to eat next, usually a jet-ski of some kind. On second thought, perhaps this entry is a tad irresponsible; you'll be so hopped up on the idiocy of the film that you'll forget to take basic precautions when swimming out in the ocean. Maybe give Open Water a viewing as well to balance it out?
