With a title like “Sharkansas Women's Prison Massacre”, you know exactly you are in for something terrible. Some films want us to ponder deep, philosophical questions while this movie wants us to reflect on how a bunch of lustful female prisoners would battle a group of killer sharks. Even for a film that aims low, it’s still pretty bad.

A fracking site accidentally unleashes a ton of sharks that are now swimming around rural Arkansas. A group of female prisoners are busy with manual labour when the creatures attack. Now, they must struggle to stay alive (and we the audience must struggle not to turn the movie off). Can the sharks be stopped?

If you were hoping for some decent shark special effects, this is the wrong movie for you. The C.G.I. on the sharks is just absolutely awful and some of the worst I’ve ever seen. This looks far worse than “Sharknado”. The effects here are almost as unprofessional as the effects for the birds in “Birdemic”. The most famous cast member is Dominique Swain (“Face/Off”). I think that she is just truly atrocious here and I found her to be completely unwatchable. I didn’t recognise any of the other cast members. The women here look a little too old to be in a film like this. Hopefully, this means that younger actresses no longer feel the need to subject themselves to starring in films about killer sharks.

“Sharkansas Women's Prison Massacre” looks so incredibly cheap that I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody had told me that was actually filmed in somebody’s back garden. If you’re really into shark movies then you might be able to chuckle a few times at this total disaster. If you’ve not sat through a ton of other shark movies, go and check out some of the films from The Asylum first.
