Hard pass on this one...

 Psycho Shark



     Originally named Jaws In Japan, this film tries to be a thinking man's shark movie? Maybe? It's also a lot of fan-service cheesecake featuring some young Japanese women on vacation in Okinawa. While staying in a hotel, they're loaned a video camera by the hotel staff and proceed to take a lot of cutesy-cutesy bullshit videos of them frolicking on the beach. Eventually one of them finds a tape hidden by the rooms previous occupants and things get weird from there.

The cutesy crap becomes old real quick....

     There's a lot of intermingling of dream sequences and reality that will probably leave you scratching your head. The worst offence would be that the shark doesn't really exist and it is a metaphor for....something? A predator or serial killers maybe? The only thing for sure is that this is NOT a shark movie. But it's still better than Raiders of the Lost Shark.

Saturday: Our last contender to be a decent shark movie, should something like that exist
