The Director of ‘Sharknado’ Returns for More Mayhem With ‘Water Park Shark’ Sneak Peek [Exclusive]
Collider has released an exclusive sneak peek clip from "Water Park Shark," a new horror comedy from the director behind the "Sharknado" franchise. The film, which is available now to rent or purchase, follows the familiar creature-feature formula of low-budget shark chaos, this time relocated to a coastal water park, and is likely to appeal to fans of Shark Week and schlocky monster movies looking for something to watch ahead of the annual television event.
The clip shows mutated great white sharks attacking staff and visitors at a water park on Cape Cod. Lifeguard "Coach", played by former Baywatch actor David Chokachi, investigates the carnage alongside colleague Peyton, played by Chelsea Gilson, while other characters trace the cause to toxic ooze leaking from overworked batteries into the sea. The sequence culminates in a shark bursting through a wall to menace the pair, leaving their fate to be revealed when audiences watch the full film.
In short
- New shark horror comedy "Water Park Shark" is out now to rent or buy.

Explained simply
"Water Park Shark" is a new horror comedy from the director of the "Sharknado" franchise, which built a devoted following through their combination of low-budget filmmaking, creature-feature scenarios, and campy humour. The new film follows a comparable formula, setting shark attacks against the backdrop of a coastal water park rather than a weather phenomenon.
The film is aimed at audiences who enjoyed the "Sharknado" films and others who seek low-budget monster movies that embrace their own absurdity. Its release coincides with Shark Week, the annual television event focused on shark-related content, positioning it for viewers already interested in that type of entertainment.
B-movie creature features, particularly those featuring unusual animal attacks, have developed a niche but dedicated audience in recent years. These films are typically made on limited budgets and lean into their own implausibility and camp value rather than striving for realism, creating a distinct entertainment category with specific appeal.
