SHARK ATTACK 1999 (ECHO BRIDGE)

More low budget shark terror.

Casper Van Dien stars as Steven McKray, a marine biologist who is called upon to help with a very dangerous situation.

It seems his best friend was killed in a bizarre shark attack in Africa at a place called Port Amanzi. He discovers that his friend, Marc DeSantis (Cordell McQueen) had been working on some experiments involving shark attacks when he died.

Steve does not think it was an accident and he is aided by Marc's sister Corine (Jenny McShane). As both dig deeper into the mystery they discover that all of the sharks in the area are becoming very hostile and ravel in packs.

Soon both are fighting for their lives from shark attacks and human criminals.

It's not as bad of a movie as people make it out to be, but it does indeed have it's rough edges. McShane spends a lot of time in a bikini, so that is a veery good thing and the shark attacks for the most part are well handled.

It might hold your attention if you're not looking for something too deep. It held mine and I found myself liking the film probably more than I should have. Two sequels follwed this film, of which I am very surprised by.
