Reviews:
“Much like Atomic Shark, Dam Sharks deserves a lot of credit for keeping the audience off-balance. There are a few characters who you assume will never die because they’re either too likeable or too funny. But, as we quickly learn, sharks don’t care if you’re funny or likable. They just want to eat you and add your leg to the dam.” Lisa Marie Bowman, Through the Shattered Lens
“Though not the most logical story out there, the unique and original story does make this feel quite creative enough to make for a solid series of positives that work really well here. The film does have a few minor flaws, in that the unique story doesn’t really make any sense … Along with the usual atrocious CGI, it’s what holds the film down.” GL84, IMDb
