Review – Sharksploitation

As the name implies, this documentary chronicles the decline and fall of the shark sub-genre from Hollywood blockbuster to high-band cable staple. I found the interviews with actual oceanographers fascinating, but the reminiscences from the directors of Syfy Channel schlockfests were less so. Students of mass media will likely find this a fascinating portrait of how something that makes money will inspire imitators and relentlessly devolve. Mildly amusing
