• 8.5 Film ThreatKent Hill It’s sharksploitation at its finest. Read
• 8.5 Macabre DailyMatt Orozco A clear labor of love to Sharksploitation and a myriad of visual effects styles, this is the funnest movie of the summer! Read
• 8.0 Daily GrindhouseKatelyn Nelson Now more than ever the world needs more art made for the sake of fun whose seams you can see, and on that front this debut from filmmaker Morihito Inoue delivers in spades. Read
• 7.5 But Why Tho?James Preston Poole Hot Spring Shark Attack won’t make you scared to go into the water, but it certainly is frightfully fun. Read
• 7.5 Nightmare on Film StreetJonathan DeHaan Hot Spring Shark Attack is pure lo-fi lunacy. Rather than shying away from its budget or low budget look, the movie leans hard into its own limitations and never pretends to be something it’s not. Read
• 7.0 MovieJawnDel Winters Hot Spring Shark Attack, with its mixed media effects and nonsensical, Looney-Tunes physics, provides an antidote for the reality-pilled, imagination-suppressed audience. Read
• 7.0 Dread CentralChad Collins Hot Spring Shark Attack is a practically driven, balls-to-the-wall shark spectacular. Read
• 7.0 Vague VisagesJoey Keogh The director enthusiastically presents his strange little story completely without cynicism, in contrast to Anthony C. Ferrante’s Sharknado 5: Global Swarming (2017). Hotspring Sharkattack is nothing if not memorable. Read
• 7.0 Loud and Clear ReviewsAlise Chaffins Maybe Jaws had to swim so Hot Spring Shark Attack could literally fly. Read
• 7.0 GizmodoCheryl Eddy The wacky execution and off-kilter choices are Hot Spring Shark Attack‘s true selling points. Read
• 6.7 Blu-ray.comBrian Orndorf “Hotspring Sharkattack” is low-budget and loving it, and while there’s definitely a limit on such exaggeration, Inoue has some imagination for his lunacy, mounting a bizarre and amusing riff on sharksploitation bedlam. Read
• 6.7 Crooked MarqueeJosh Bell The movie is so upbeat and enthusiastic that it’s tough to dislike, though, and Inoue makes the typical shark-movie shortcomings endearing. Read
• 6.3 Mark Reviews MoviesMark Dujsik Hot Spring Shark Attack comes very close to succeeding on its own weird terms, and that's something, at least. Read
• 6.0 Geek Vibes NationPhil Walsh Hot Spring Shark Attack will overwhelm some by the sheer magnitude of its farce. Yes, the effects are subpar, but everything here is intentional. Read
• 6.0 Assignment XAbbie Bernstein Individually, many sequences are funny, but cumulatively, they are a lot. Read
• 6.0 Asynchronous MediaChristopher Cross Morihito Inoue’s Hot Spring Shark Attack is the kind of insane, low-budget horror-comedy that dares to dream bigger than its financial circumstances can allow. Read
• 6.0 The Hollywood NewsKat Hughes With all the ingredients to be a crowd-pleasing midnight madness movie, Hot Spring Shark Attack should be watched in the biggest crowd possible, for maximum enjoyment. Read
• 6.0 Ventana IndiscretaSebastián Zavala This trash film combines horror with the fantastic as it draws on elements of Steven Spielberg’s classic Jaws, Japanese anime and even sharksploitation. It’s pure, absurd entertainment. Read
• 5.0 Screen RantHannah Gearan The movie's boldness helps craft an entertaining ride that is incredibly zany. Is this among the best shark movies? Absolutely not. But by the time Hot Spring Shark Attack was over, I couldn't help but smile. Read
• 5.0 Original-CinLiz Braun Hot Spring Shark Attack is a broad spoof of Jaws, related monster movies, police procedurals, contemporary culture (think influencers) superhero sagas and other things. And it is initially quite a lark. Read
• 5.0 We Live EntertainmentAaron Neuwirth As a fan of Japanese kaiju cinema, something about this could be more up my alley, but maybe putting together as much plot as this movie has with it’s DIY aesthetic amounted to a bit too much for me to take. Read
• 5.0 Eye for FilmJennie Kermode If you're looking for a serious thriller, you're in the wrong place, but if you're up for a bit of fishy fun, this hits the spot. Read
• 4.0 KUNRRobin Holabird Amid the plastic sharks, rigid performances, and hideous effects, I giggled now and then. I guess by shark movie standards, this rates as decent. Read
• 3.8 Aisle SeatMike McGranaghan Even at a mercifully brief 77 minutes, I could hardly wait for this movie to be over. Read
• 3.0 MovieWebJulian Roman Hot Spring Shark Attack takes B-movie horror humor to stratospheric levels of schlock absurdity. What begins as ridiculous and goofy gets exponentially sillier as writer/director Morihito Inoue raises his game in a relentless plot. Read
• 2.0 KKFIRuss Simmons Sorry, this shark attack really bites. Read
• 1.0 Upcoming Horror MoviesMeredith Jill Brown Hot Spring Shark Attack is simply a hot ludicrous mess. Read
