Shark Attack Pack

I decided to give it a try because the cover looked interesting. The movies are so awful I couldn't even get past a few minutes of each and even tried fast forwarding to see if it got better. They all looked like they are made in the 60s. The first one I have no words for it was just boring. The 2nd one at some spots the shark was swimming sideways. The 3rd movie looked a little better until I got past the shark attack. Unless your looking for something that looked like it was made before Jaws don't bother getting this DVD

Jaws is still the best Shark movie of all times

Very bad transfer from tape to DVD. Blank video in places. The documentary, great white death, spends more time on other sea life than they do on sharks.

good

it was pretty good

I liked all the items i received, you'll have excellent customer service. Thanks

it was not what I had hoped it would be, its a very old movie, Glen Ford talked about the second movie.

i watched and loved and be buying more shark attack moviesand be watching it over and over againbe buying shark attack 1 2 and 3 on dvdred water super shark and more

I've been a shark enthusiast since seeing TV spots for Jaws in 1975, when I was only 4 years old. Today, I buy pretty much any book, movie or documentary that deals with sharks. Once in a while, I make a nice find like The Reef, but most of the time it's more miss than hit, as was the case with this collection from CFS Releasing. Here's an overview of the content:1. SHARK KILL (1976): The image quality for this 1976 TV movie is comparable to a bleached and muddy pinkish brown washed-out VHS transfer. Another reviewer, Ken E., described it as being like "a tenth-generation dub of an old VHS tape, that was stored in a musty basement for a couple decades, then soaked in Cherry Kool-Aid overnight before being projected onto a dirty sheet and THEN taped with an old VHS camcorder". You get the idea! By far the worst DVD transfer I have seen. It tells a lot about CFS that they were willing to put such a low-quality product on the market. There's even a distorted bar at the top of the 1:33 image for the first minute or so of the movie. Surprisingly, the underwater scenes are a bit more colourful than their on-land counterparts, but that's not saying much. There is absolutely no detail to the image, which is consistently blurry. That's a shame, because, some of the vintage shots of great whites are actually pretty cool. At around the 20 minute mark, the image starts "blinking". By that, I mean that it repeatedly goes to black from a few fractions of a second to about 2 seconds. At first, I thought this was caused by people passing in front of the camera, maybe as a sort of ill-advised homage to the attack on the Kintner boy sequence in Jaws, but I soon realized it wasn't the case. Also, at around 43:30, the image briefly pauses. Oh well!Shark Kill could be compared to a bad episode of The Love Boat with shark casualties and no (intentional) humour. Divers are attacked by a great white at an oil rig. A scientist working for the company tries to prevent more deaths by going after the shark with a victim's relative. Then, in what is perhaps the movie's most spectacular sequence, their boat is run over and they have to survive the night in the water fending-off the shark. Along the way, there is a really bad re-staging of the frenzied-fishermen-mob scene in Jaws. I recognized the actress playing the hero's love interest, Jennifer Warren, from a couple other movies (Slap Shot being one), but the rest of the cast was unknown to me, for good reason. As you would expect from this type of production, dialog is cringe-inducing. I would say that the best thing about this turd, which, by the way, ends with a parking lot fistfight, is its 71 minutes running time. Nuff said!2. GREAT WHITE DEATH (1981): Here again, the a/v quality is extremely low-res, although substantially better than that of Shark Kill. I already owned a single-movie DVD of this film which features a different, a bit superior, video transfer; the problem with that one, also by CFS Releasing, is that the soundtrack is not properly synched with the picture. Well, maybe CFS will finally get it right the third time.. but I won't be buying.This vintage "mondo style" documentary, produced by a Montréal company and directed by a fellow named Jean Lebel, is very sensationalist to say the least. (An aside: I couldn't help but wonder if the Jean-Pierre Ferland who is credited with executive-producing this is actually the famous now nearly retired franco pop-singer) Still, having been made only a few years after the release of Jaws, this film is interesting for its nostalgic and historical value and dated depiction of the shark as a villain. The narration by actor Glen Ford is repetitive and, with a little hindsight, we could say it's just plain dumb. Ford annoyingly keeps referring to sharks as "pirates" and would have you believe that a dog's bark can immediately attract numerous sharks to a beach and that the hammerhead is one of the most dangerous species in the oceans; that the waters off every beach are shark-infested, except in Florida where shark attacks are "non-existant". Really? In addition, many scenes are clearly staged with a dead or drugged-up great white and the film includes horrifying footage of countless sharks suffocating in nets.On the positive side: the film features footage shot immediately following the attack on Henry Bource, who is also interviewed; there is a spectacular (if revolting) underwater sequence of a great white caught on hook that, thankfully, has an unexpected happy ending; there's another where a great white that has been tied to a boat after being caught is savagely attacked by another great white; and, finally, diving-legend John Stoneman is one of the credited cameramen (although this must not come very high on his list of accomplishments). This is by far the most interesting movie on this DVD.3. SHARK! AKA Cain, AKA Man-Eater (1969): Samuel Fuller must really have been drunk out of his mind when he directed this piece of crap starring a pre-Deliverance Burt Reynolds. Or maybe not... Fuller apparently didn't want his name associated with this picture after it was taken from him in post-production and reedited by the producers. Interestingly, a stuntman was apparently killed by a shark during production and, to Fuller's disgust, the producers, intent on getting as much publicity from this tragic event as they could muster, renamed it Shark! from the original Caine (the name of Reynold's character). There's actually a remastered blu-ray with a 1:77 aspect ratio (here it's 1:33) that's available from Mongrel Media. Apparently, it's a good transfer, and I'd be curious to check it out if the movie wasn't so boring. But who would want to own this on blu-ray unless they could get Fuller's original version?

Very old movies with an extremely bad picture. Too much whiteness in the movies. If the description about this collection had said how old these movies were and how bad the picture was, I would never have bought this pack. Extremely disappointed, upset and angry.

What a rip off - one lousy movie and two other documentaries - not worth $2 let alone $12

I ordered this movie because I am a lover of sharks. A lot of people think that is wrong but they also have to realize we are going into their territory. They were here before us. They will always be on a mission to sniff out new things and sometimes take on their own action. For instance a Great White can kill you or just take a bite or so. They don't feast on humans because that is not their nature. All sharks were here before us. As hateful as sharks can be, we are the ones that are basically treading on private property. Just pick your spots carefully. A Great White will take the first bite but also spits it out. Can't blame the sharks for our pain and suffering because we are the ones to blame. They really don't know what humans are. They are just looking for food. I am sorry if you don't like my review but it is all true.
