Swamp Shark is a 2011 horror film about a prehistoric shark that wreaks havoc in a swamp town in Louisiana. The film begins with a group of teenagers who accidentally awaken the ancient predator from its resting place beneath the water. As a result, the shark begins rampaging through the swamps, killing anyone who dares enter its territory.

The story follows Rachel McDaniel (Kristy Swanson), the mayor of the small town of Prosperity, Louisiana, who is faced with the daunting task of stopping the vicious shark from causing any more damage. She enlists the help of local fisherman Tommy Breblaw (Christopher Berry) and Wade Boggs (himself), a retired baseball player who owns a resort in the area. Together, the three of them set out to track down the creature and put an end to its killing spree.

As they investigate the attacks, they learn that the shark isn't just any ordinary creature. It's actually a genetically mutated shark that was created by a local scientist, Dr. Vanessa Beaumont (Sophie Sinise), who was experimenting with the regenerative properties of shark DNA. The shark was supposed to be a breakthrough in medical research, but it ended up escaping from the lab and finding its way into the nearby swamps.

The trio of heroes soon discovers that the shark isn't just a mindless killing machine. It's actually highly intelligent and is capable of setting traps and outsmarting its human prey. As they try to hunt it down, the shark begins targeting them, making it a deadly game of cat and mouse.

The film is full of thrilling action scenes as the trio embark on their mission to stop the shark. Along the way, they encounter a colorful cast of characters, including a group of bikers who are also out to kill the shark and a local sheriff who is more interested in catching the trio than the real threat.

The film has an impressive visual effects team, who have created some truly terrifying scenes of the shark attacking its victims. The shark is realistically rendered, and the scenes of it swimming through the murky waters of the swamp are truly chilling.

In terms of the performances, the actors do a solid job with the material they're given. Berry and Swanson have good chemistry as the two leads, and Boggs' cameo is a fun addition to the film. Marcus Lyle Brown also delivers a memorable performance as the sheriff who is constantly at odds with the heroes.

Overall, Swamp Shark is an entertaining horror movie that provides all the thrills and scares you would expect from a creature feature. The film doesn't take itself too seriously, and it's clear that the filmmakers were aiming to create a fun, campy horror flick. While it may not be a cinematic masterpiece, it's a perfect popcorn movie that delivers on its promise of a killer shark on the loose.

Swamp Shark is a 2011 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 25 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.7.
