Shark Swarm synop

Last Updated on July 27, 2021

With today being a very slow day in news, it’s good to see new things popping up here and there. I have to admit I haven’t heard of this film, but seeing where it’s going to be exhibited sort of blows my mind.

SHARK SWARM, brought to us by RHI Entertainment is a shark tale written by David Rosiak and Mathew Chernov, with direction by James A. Contner. It’s about:

When Marine biologist Amy Zuckerman (Heather McComb, Party of Five) arrives to survey Lux’s questionable developments, she makes an alarming discovery: a beached Bull shark whose sensory organs exhibit violent tendencies—even after death. But the second anomaly fills her with dread: the unheard of phenomenon of a swarm of Great Whites, forty strong, cutting through the waters together with one horrifying purpose—to kill for pleasure. For Amy, Daniel, and Phillip, the only way to fight the man-eating army that’s growing in strength, number, and hunger is to venture out into the watery terrors. What’s waiting for them is beyond anything they could fathom.

Tourist season becomes feeding time in Shark Swarm, a jaw-snapping, bone-crushing ecological thriller miniseries about the day nature really goes wild.

Now if you’re like, “cool, shark movie”, hold on…wait for it…the film is being aired on the Hallmark channel sometime next year. Now doesn’t that strike you as odd? The Hallmark Channel, ya know the guys that make greeting cards to make mothers cry, is releasing a horror/thriller on their channel? I guess it’s a first for everything right?

The made for TV film has its own poster (below) so this must be a big deal for Hallmark. Though it looks very similar to the OPEN WATER poster, it’s probably better than that waste of 2 hours. The film stars John Schneider, Daryl Hannah, Armand Assante, Heather McComb, and F. Murray Abraham. Expect this to hit small screens sometime in 2008!
