This supernatural shark film is so bad – it will make your jaws drop
When Twitter user Rob, known as @ghoulcabin, spotted a film called Ghost Shark, he couldn’t quite believe what he was seeing, and was pretty sure nobody else would either. He shared a few exquisitely bad clips.

As you can see, the title is very much of the “does what it says on the tin” school of thought. The thread went viral, powered by fans of the cult hit and those who were new to its compelling dreadfulness. With over 50,000 retweets, Rob made this observation.
this tweet did more for ghost shark than their marketing team ever did

Judging by these reactions, he may be right.

Now that I've seen this, it kind of feels like every second I'm not spending watching "Ghost Shark" is a wasted second. https://t.co/F1f6vZV0om

There was even some insider information.

Someone shared a link to the official trailer, which looks like it just might have borrowed some tropes from a more well-known shark film.
As if he hadn’t already done enough for Ghost Shark, Rob came up with a tagline for the poster, too.
“You won’t find a better low-to-medium budget supernatural horror film.”
Nailed it.
