[edit] Plot

The film takes place on a remote island possibly near South Africa: Dr. Thomas Reed (William Forsythe) has been in grief ever since his son was diagnosed with a terminal illness and he decides to genetically alter his own son with Hammerhead Shark DNA, since Sharks have incredibly strong immune systems, the result is a half man/ half shark hybrid that he believes saves his son. Dr. Reed then decides to take his experiment to the next level and begins to gather volunteers for the experiment and begins to genetically alter them as well, his colleagues, Dr. Preston King ( Jeffrey Combs) and Dr. Jane Krause (Velizar Beniv) however are against Dr. Reed's experiments but decide to go along with it. After several tests fail, in which nearly all of the subjects died because they couldn't withstand the Shark DNA, Dr. Reed finally succeeds and he invites a few of his old colleagues who laughed at him years ago to the resort and spa on the island, among them are Amelia Lockhart (Hunter Tylo), Jane Harper (Elise Muller), Erik Anderson (Atanas Srebrev), Whitney Feder (Arthur Roberts) and Dr. Sarena Mendoveko (Lydie Denier). Once they arrive, they are treated to the luxuries of the resort. The invitation turns out to be a trap as Dr. Reed unleashes his hybrid on the guests and almost all of them are killed by Hammerhead until just Amelia, Dr. Reed himself and Whitney are left, Dr. Reed then takes Amelia and Whitney to his lab and he begins the final stage of the experiment. First he inserts a chemical compound into Amelia's arm and then straps her to a glass tube which is then lowered into Hammerhead's tank in order for him to mate with her. The gears jam however and while Dr. Reed is fixing it, Hammerhead attacks him, ripping his arm off, he then drags Dr. Reed into the tank and tears him to shreds within seconds. Whitney who is standing nearby, unstraps Amelia and then they kill Hammerhead by spraying him with the chemical compounds from which he was made which dissolves his flesh. Amelia and Whitney then escape the island and blow apart the lab with explosives
