Nightmare Shark (2018 TV Movie)
3/10
Perhaps the Script was Dropped and Thus Jumbled Up Just Prior to Filming?

Which would explain why this film makes so little sense. I saw this under the title of 'Curse of the Dream Witch', and there is at least a witch-like wraith lurking here and there, but the 'Nightmare Shark' moniker is beyond confusing as there is no trace of a shark in the film (unless there is an alternative version that includes a sharky presence somewhere out there? The IMDB plot summary sure does not resemble the film that I saw). At one level, the Dream Witch creature is not a bad concept (with obvious nods to A Nightmare on Elm Street, but clearly nowhere near as striking or effective), but the entity is never really fully realized or developed as it is usually just shown as a flickery and weirdly screaming women or as an indistinct black 'swarm' (should they have called it 'Nightmare Flies'?). However, for all of the Dream Witch's murky visuals, at no point whatsoever does the fiend ever resemble a shark! So, some decent ideas and visuals are present, but this film sure won't give anyone any sleepless nights.
