Ozark Sharks is a 2015 American horror TV movie that blends creature-feature suspense with campy fun. The story follows a family vacation gone horribly wrong when a group of deadly sharks somehow find their way into the calm, freshwater lakes of the Ozarks.
The film begins as a typical summer getaway — a teenage girl named Molly, her brother Harrison, and their parents head to the Ozarks for a relaxing family trip. However, their peaceful retreat turns into a nightmare after the discovery of mysterious attacks in the water. Locals are baffled, and soon it’s revealed that a school of sharks has invaded the lake, attacking swimmers and tourists alike.
Panic spreads quickly as the small town realizes it’s facing a horrifying aquatic threat. Molly and Harrison, together with their grandparents and a few locals, must fight for survival as the sharks become increasingly aggressive. Using whatever weapons they can find — from homemade explosives to fishing gear — they attempt to destroy the creatures before they claim more lives.
As the chaos unfolds, the movie keeps a tongue-in-cheek tone, typical of Syfy channel productions, mixing over-the-top action with humor and outrageous special effects. While the premise defies logic, Ozark Sharks embraces its absurdity, offering audiences a blend of thrilling moments and laughable scares.
In the end, the surviving characters manage to wipe out the shark threat — but not without a series of bloody and explosive encounters. Ozark Sharks stands as a fun, low-budget shark horror flick that doesn’t take itself too seriously, making it a guilty pleasure for fans of campy monster movies like Sharknado or Sand Sharks.
