"Shark Attack 2" continues the trend of crazed / mutant / deformed animals attacking humans in the horror sub-genre. A sub-genre that never really seems to produce anything decent - there are a few exceptions of course, like Megalodon: Shark Attack 3 (am I joking?) but Shark Attack 2 is pretty awful.
When a great white shark kills Samantha Peterson's (Nikita Ager) sister, Michael Fancisco (Danny Keogh) the owner of a new aquarium / amusement park wants it captured and put on display. Dr. Nick Harris (hottie Thorsten Kaye) knows that it is a bad idea, but does as his employer requests, which only leads to another series of people killed by sharks - sharks that now swim in a group (oh, and they roar). Nick and Samantha have a romance that blossom and are joined on their shark hunt by Roy Bishop (Daniel Alexander), an Australian animal documentary maker.
The acting is decent enough for this kind of movie from Kaye, Ager and Alexander, but the film is quite clearly of low production values and over all not that exciting. It's also plagued by a terrible score and a couple of painful songs, and as with Shark Attack 3, plenty of ancient stock shark footage from documentaries is inserted throughout the film and none of the killings are graphic. It's a shame Kaye didn't get to wear his wetsuit a bit more - that would have made the movie a lot more exciting.
