When a fracking mishap accidentally rips apart the earth’s crust, the resulting hole opens up a gaping underground water way to a vast and mysterious ocean somewhere deep below. Instantly, giant prehistoric sharks begin wending their way upward toward a murky bog in the heart of the Arkansas Bayou. Unfortunately, for a group of female prisoners on a work detail in the swamp, the deadly sharks attack without warning – pinning a hapless group of intended victims in a small deserted cabin in the heart of the wetlands. Death may be the only means of escape!

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
The only way to save this by using the script, if there is one, is to start over. Hire Joan Crawford. Even dead she could bring some charm to the screen. The plot is somewhat tied to the great title, so there should be a women's prison with some sharks. If there is a Vincent Price type somewhere with a Shakespearean accent and piercing eyes, that would help. The cast here seems to come from a diet beverage commercial. The special effects are OK. The characters are written to be very stupid. Many of them seem to do what the audience knows is wrong. Fracking is the bad guy. I would guess they will make a buck or two from the title. It is a movie. They did get some people together with a camera operator and they made this. It is not a good bad movie, but it is OK for Bad Movie Night if you can't find Hillbillys in a Haunted House. No nudity. Probably OK for kids who like very dumb movies. I think Flaws is a better Jaws parody.
My friend and I were looking for a bad movie to watch, but I wasn't expecting this level of terrible. It was like they script was originally intended to include gratuitous amounts of nudity, but they decided to take that out and make the movie anyway. Another way of thinking about it is a "Police Academy" script where they took out all the silly jokes but kept the loose plot about a crime.I know it's ridiculous to look at all the plot holes in a movie like this, but this script has more holes than a block of Swiss cheese on a moth-ridden gun range. Traci Lords and her partner hear about "4 prisoners" escaping, despite there being absolutely no way anyone could have known about it. I mean, even if you try to think that they were reported when the van didn't return to the prison, there were 5 prisoners before one was eaten.Does Arkansas really look exactly like Florida, so much so the detective's cars have Florida plates?How does the ground go back to normal so quickly after a land-shark passes by?And finally, when the guard lets the girl go at the end...he's just letting her go in the swamp full of land-sharks they just escaped from...and if she makes it out, she'll just go back home where no one will be surprised to see her?At least Zombeavers had an awesome song at the end.
This was stupid, even for shark movies! Yes, that might be a bold statement, but watch the movie and you will see for yourself.First of all, I will say that the movie does gain some credit for having a creative movie title. I mean "Sharkansas Women's Prison Massacre" just sounds like something that could be fun.But it quickly becomes apparent that this is going to be one of those movies; you know, a stinker. When the prison truck comes to a halt and you see the female prisoners disembark and they are all wearing jean shorts and tight tops. Right, what prison provides its inmates with such outfits? And that kind of clothing hardly seems appropriate for going on a clearing duty in a swamp area.Then the movie quickly rolls downhill fast, especially when you see the sharks and how poorly animated they are. And when the sharks start to swim through solid soil and earth, it just culminates in a hitherto unseen level of stupidity.And the weapons that were used in the movie was children toys. Yes, children toys. There is a scene where the Michelle Alika character finds a hidden stash of guns in the cabin, and when she picks them up you can clearly hear that they are just plastic toys as they clank together. And in that very same scene you can see that the end nozzles of the guns are closed tight with plastic. It was just idiotic that the film makers though they could pass children's toys off as real guns.For a shark movie, or a creature feature, then special effects and having believable creatures is a must. And "Sharkansas Women's Prison Massacre" didn't manage to deliver any of this. The special effects were laughable and questionable, and the shark even more so.This is essentially a movie just to showcase the female cast of the movie, that being in particular Dominique Swain, Christine Nguyen and Cindy Lucas. But wait, it gets better, because Traci Lords is here too as a detective. Yep!I sat down to watch "Sharkansas Women's Prison Massacre" because of Dominique Swain, but must admit that this was nowhere near her finest moment. And it was actually Christine Nguyen who ended up carrying the movie with her performance."Sharkansas Women's Prison Massacre" is a laughable attempt at making a shark movie. And if you enjoy shark movies, then there are far, far better choices available out there.
This I have been told, is another one of the 50 or so Shark attack films doing the rounds, so I had better get watching!.What can you expect? Well don't expect to much for one thing.Little to no plot, that said the scenery is nice on the eye and some very funny bits.So if all you want is soft porn and nothing else, then do yourself a favor and give this one a go.Enjoy.
