There is little about Killer Shark that is any way recommendable .It was made on a shoestring budget and it shows .
The theme is a variation on the classic Captains Courageous .A young College student spends the Summer working on his fathers rusting old shark fishing boat and is responsible for a serious accident which sees two men-including his father-severely injured.This places at risk his fathers ability to repay the loan on his vessel and so he resolves to put a crew together and go out in search of shark himself.Unfortunately he hooks up with a crew of robbers who plan to make away with the cargo themselves.
Poorly acted ,flat and ugly in its lighting and with a crude anti intellectual message this is a tedious experience that makes then same directors brilliant Randolph Scott Westerns from the same era all the more remarkable by contrast.
Give it a miss.
