How 5-Headed Shark Attack scares

Watching this feels like hanging out with friends and laughing at a cheap monster movie rather than actually being scared. The pacing is quick and silly, jumping from one goofy shark attack to the next with barely any build-up or real tension. It leans on cheesy special effects and over-the-top kills for cheap thrills instead of dread. This is pure so-bad-it's-fun creature-feature territory, not something that will unsettle you.
