Scott Weinberg of eFilmCritic.com gave it 2/5 and called it "hilariously bad (and therefore entertaining) Z- grade shark horror".[2] Michael Dequina at TheMovieReport.com was critical of the film saying "the title takes a back seat to some boring conspiracy mumbo-jumbo".[3]
Sequels
Two direct-to-video sequels followed Shark Attack. Shark Attack 2 was released in 2000, while Shark Attack 3: Megalodon was released in 2002. Shark Attack 2 briefly mentions the events of the first film while Shark Attack 3: Megalodon ignores the first two films entirely and acts as a stand-alone sequel to them.
