10 WTF Animal Horror Movies You Won't Believe Exist

Back in 1975, Jaws set the standard for shark attack movies and ever since a wave of imitators have tried to recreate its success and most have failed.

You’d think it wouldn’t be too hard to make an effective shark attack movie given that they’re a pretty terrifying species already, but in trying to bring something fresh to the genre filmmakers are coming up with ridiculous premises like two and three-headed sharks and sharks crossed with other species (Sharktopus) and even weather phenomenon (Sharknado).

But Ghost Shark might just be the daftest effort yet. First, we’re meant to believe that there’s a shark afterlife and secondly that if a shark dies a vengeful death it’ll come back to haunt (and kill) the living that wronged them. But that’s what happens in Ghost Shark when a redneck fisherman dude and his daughter torture and kill a great white and its spectral form comes back to exact revenge on them and the coastal town they live in.

Being a shark of the ghost variety it’s also able to manifest in not just the ocean but any watery situation – swimming pools, bathtubs, buckets of water at a bikini car wash and even in beverages as is the case with one poor dude who takes a sip of shark haunted water and ends up getting torn apart from the inside out by the phantom fish, as you do.
