Same old crap… When bodies begin missing in the coastal town of Full Moon Bay, fisherman Daniel Wilder (John Schneider) discovers the culprit: a swarm of mutant Great White sharks, forty strong, cutting through the waters with one horrifying purpose—to kill.

Goblin Shark Attack, the killer-fish flick filming down under (previously known as Malibu Shark Attack) has just finished shooting in Queensland, AU. They changed the name since the movie’s predators are based on a species of shark called goblin sharks. And trust me, these are big ones.

The film is still set in Malibu and stars Peta Wilson (La Femme Nikita) as lifeguard heroine Heather. Can’t wait.
