"The circumstances under which I was able to watch Hot Spring Shark Attack for the first time were so unique, I never thought I’d be able to find it again. So when I found it here ON BLURAY I nearly cried with excitement. I love this movie, and the behind-the-scenes extras were so fun to see as well! It shipped SO much faster than I was expecting, and the quality is wonderful."
"If the title alone doesn't sell you, the sheer absurdity of ancient sharks terrorizing Japanese bathhouses will. It’s a blast that completely leans into its ridiculous premise and refuses to take itself seriously."
"Interesting and fun take on the no budget shark movie, with a neat premise, very Japanese humor and some cool cameos."
"Overall fun zany comedy with sharks. Slipcover is ok but the experience is worth it."
"Less like the old Asylum films sharksploitation movies, and more in line with a proper low budget but well scripted comedy, sort of in line with old Leslie Neilson flicks like Airplane or Naked Gun, but focusing on sharks."
"Strange micro budget film that is extremely ambitious even when their budget is limited. It is a wild shark movie that doesn't take itself serious."
"Absolutely absurd premise with a movie mostly about shark attacks in hot springs as the title suggests. What I didn't expect were all of the Jaws references. Overall, this was a fun, if a bit absurd take on shark movies."
"I had heard about this film before, but had never watched it, the slipcase is what made me buy it in the end. From the trailer it looks like I made a good decision."
"Such a great time. Watching it with friends is amazing, we loved this one."
"Weird and silly but fun movie."
