The thing you have to understand about 'Ninja vs Shark' is that for the first hour it's a low-budget but good, serious, dramatic samurai movie with betrayal, conflict, family drama, unrequited love, emotionally significant flashbacks, melodramatic villains, geysers of CGI blood, curses, giant sharks, magical ninjas, devil worship, zombies, sorcery, human sacrifice, decapitations, and homoerotic shape-shifting vampiric ninja weresharks... and only then does it get crazy. Absolutely unhinged!
