**More money and more effects improve some things, but losing most of its cheese overshadows 5-Headed Shark Attack’s potential.** 5-Headed Shark Attack shows off its bigger budget with more shark effects than the first two films. This time the shark jumps out of the water more frequently, swims around its prey more often, and is shown devouring its victims - new territory for the franchise. The cinematography also enjoys a new upgrade for the series with the best camera work by far. Unfortunately, that is where the upgrades stop. The movie loses some of its goofiness and could be a regular dumb shark movie, wasting the mutation opportunities just like the original. Not the worst of the series, but not the best.

...God I hate this franchise. _Final rating:★ - Of no value. Avoid at all costs._
