Ozark Sharks is a made-for-TV horror-thriller that blends campy humor with aquatic terror. The film follows a family vacation that quickly spirals into chaos when bloodthirsty sharks unexpectedly appear in a freshwater lake deep in the Ozark Mountains.
The story begins with a typical summer trip. Becky, her brother, their parents, and her boyfriend head to the Ozarks for what they hope will be a relaxing getaway. The picturesque setting seems safe—sunny days, calm waters, and a festive local book fair on the shoreline. However, the vacation mood takes a sharp turn when Becky spots strange movements in the lake. At first, no one believes her warnings, but soon, the brutal truth surfaces: sharks have invaded the freshwater lake.
One by one, unsuspecting swimmers and boaters are attacked, sending waves of panic through the community. The family, caught in the middle of the carnage, must figure out how to escape alive. They encounter Jones, a quirky local who takes shark hunting very seriously. Armed with homemade weapons and an eccentric but determined attitude, Jones becomes their unlikely ally in the fight for survival.
The tension rises as the sharks grow bolder, attacking not only swimmers but also small boats and even people near the shoreline. The family is forced into a desperate battle, combining their wits with Jones’s wild survivalist tactics to eliminate the predators.
Ozark Sharks is packed with over-the-top shark attacks, outrageous one-liners, and the classic “creature feature” charm that fans of B-movie horror adore. While it never takes itself too seriously, the film delivers fast-paced entertainment, blending suspense, comedy, and gore in equal measure. Ultimately, it’s a cautionary tale that proves danger can lurk in even the most unlikely places—turning a peaceful summer lake into a feeding ground for terror.
