Sand Sharks

"Just when you thought you were safe out of the water"

This movie is unsurprisingly about sharks. Sharks swimming in sand.
I can't remember how many shark movies I've seen the last couple of years, but this is still probably the only one with sharks actually hanging around out of the water, at least for prolonged periods of time.

Sand sharks doesn't have much of a plot more than that there are sharks, they are out to eat everyone, and they swim in the sand instead of the water, and are attracted to sound/vibrations (so yes, this is a low(er) budget version of tremors with sharks instead of snakes).
Also, there are a bunch of scantily clad women, because who would expect something else with a movie that has "Sharks" in the title? I don't really see the connection, but for some reason it seems obligatory.

What makes this movie a bit special is the fact that it actually seems to a kind of parody of..this kind of movie. But it's still at the same level as for instance Megashark vs Whatever animal you can think of, and it's not really funny, it's just obvious that it's not supposred to be serious. Sadly, the movie don't really succeed in making fun of itself, so it feels like the parody part is wasted.

On the plus side, there are a couple of giggle-inducing special effects, and, well, sharks that swim in the sand. All in all, pretty entertaining, but no masterpiece in any sense of the word.

The next time I see a shark movie, I really want everyone to be fully clothed to be honest.
Especially the sharks. That would be a fucking awesome movie.
