Water Park Shark Movie Trailer from 'Sharknado' Director

Anthony C. Ferrante, the director famously behind the absurdly successful Sharknado franchise, is back with a brand-new, ridiculous aquatic B-movie. The first trailer reveals a plot where a shiver of bloodthirsty sharks somehow manages to infiltrate the pools, wave machines, and slides of a bustling summer water park. Promising over-the-top gore, wildly implausible kills, and plenty of campy fun, the film looks to be a perfect spiritual successor to the Syfy channel's legacy of glorious creature-feature trash.
