Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Heading up to a ski-resort, a group if spring-breakers partying on the slopes find that the rash of disappearances around the mountain is the result of a monstrous shark summoned to take out the partiers and must try to get off the mountain alive.This here ended up being quite the enjoyable if slightly flawed cheesy creature feature. One of the best features to this one here is the absolutely fun and cheesy action on display here which manages to get in quite a lot of fun utilizing such a patently ridiculous storyline. The idea of bringing a sea-faring creature out into an icy mountain range from the very beginning is such a goofy premise in itself that there's a rather great deal afforded here in turning the creature's origins into a Native American legend that it offers the film much more leeway with a questionable-if-still logical origin. It also works well for the film as it goes through the idea of letting these types of action scenes come from this type of story, which is where this one really gets good. There's some rather fun times here with the sharks out stalking the people through the snow-covered woods, as the quick attacks on the skiers on the slopes, the attack on the troubled couple by the shorelines and the chase through the open fields where it takes out the racing friends in a pretty enjoyable sequence, while there's some other good fun in the attack on the resort itself. From wiping out the main lodge in front of everyone that sets things in motion to them swarming on the bunkers and the race to safety while finally allowing the big plan against it to be implemented gives this section of the film a lot of good, cheesy fun. Along with the great bloodshed and cheesy-looking creatures, these here are more than enough to hold this one up against the few small flaws here. What holds this one down somewhat is the film's rather overlong beginning where it takes way too long to get all the different side-plots involved. The whole slew of couples all coming up to the resort, the different investigations into each of the missing persons from the authorities who manage to get annoyed at having to perform their job and the general dull-ness of these types of scenes all really makes this one quite bland to really get going here that the shark attacks are instead placed a little later into the film than expected. As well, the film also comes with the usual rather cheesy-looking CGI that has absolutely nothing realistic about anything towards their execution as even though they're kept at brief spurts they still look obvious while the transparent fin slicing through the snow looks hilariously bad. Coupled with the rather goofy storyline, these here are the film's problems.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Language and Nudity.

I have no idea why this is rated so low, this movie to me defines "so bad it's good" with cheesy acting and plot and dialog and terrible Special FX that you just can't help but to laugh at.The plot on IMDb says "Avalanche Sharks tells the story of a bikini contest that turns into a horrifying affair when it is hit by a shark avalanche." This is not entirely true, there is no bikini contest taking place, there are women in bikinis tho but yeah the plot is not correct.But really who goes into this type of movie for the plot? I know I don't, I go in for it for the pure entertainment value and it provides plenty of entertainment, so therefor I give it a 6, despite not being a technically "good movie".If you want to be scared: look elsewhere, if you want to have a fun time: this will suffice.

It's been a while since my last review. And starting again I figured I didn't want to pick up a blockbuster but a title by which you know, this isn't going to be that good but will offer a few things. So far i have seen them all concerning mega monsters like spiders and other stuff but Snow Sharks was sadly a waist of time.As I said earlier, I don't have problems with creature features that are over the top but there must be an actual storyline and if you are using effects that are cheap at least don't show how it is done. When one of the girls is being bitten in two by a Snow Shark they do close in with the camera but you could easily spot here legs just being covered by the snow, you could even see them move. A really bad thing. Of course the sharks are cheap CGI but they do look rather good. On part of the storyline itself there's something to say about that too. In fact there isn't any. You move from one part to another and nothing binds them. Then you have the nerd trying to seduce girls but that doesn't work out, up to the next scene. Then you have the Asian girl coming into the story and pulling up crosses in the snow, Why she does that and why the crosses are there is never explained but they do things with the sharks. 3 girls are in a hot tub, why, no reason at all, and you can see it coming, they are shark foot, sharks appearing in the tub and the water doesn't run out of it, strange. We also see a lot of skiing and snow boarding which looks nice but doesn't add anything to the story. Yes, this is just a mishmash of ideas, sadly,bad ideas that doesn't work out. All the girls do look pretty and some do walk around in small bikini's but that doesn't make a flick and when you are teasing with nudity then give it to the people. No, this I can't recommend to anybody, not even the Z-flick lovers.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1/5 Story 1/5 Comedy 0/5

What is there to really say about Avalanche Sharks? The premise is ridiculous and so, duly, is the execution. There is a mountain and there are ghost sharks (possibly, not quite sure about the precise ontology of the sharks), and there are numerous victims of said spectral fish. At the most obvious level the film is entertaining as a cheap and poorly-conceived cash-in on the 'where-is-the-most-unlikely-place-a-shark-can-strike-from' low budget mania that has emerged of late, and on that premise it is worth a watch. However, the film has no real logic and is ultimately really random in its approach. For instance, the film opens with three distinctive characters, but then pretty much forgets about them, and the climax is perhaps the most random solution I've ever seen (also involving a very random character). And what of the characters? Well, you get a marine biologist who never utters anything remotely biological (and sharks on a mountain really should pique at least some professional interest, regardless of the tragic back-story), the usual unscrupulous mayor/businessman who won't close the mountain, a ranting 'You're all doomed!" old mountain man, and a hilarious 'marine' who keeps telling people that he is a marine (but who displays very little military prowess). Oh, and one of the best performances I have seen in a film of this type: a man who, as a result of seeing his girlfriend eaten by the sharks, has a religious epiphany and renounces drugs in favour of universal love (I'll leave it to you to see how that pans out). However, the CGI is actually not too bad at all and nobody is taking the proceedings very seriously (except the marine character, boy, he takes things seriously). All in all, then, the bar is set low, but with a title like Avalanche Sharks, what do you expect?
