Yes, this movie exists. Really. It has people in it, and things happen in it. And it's an insult to Jaws 4, which isn't a very good movie, but it's miles ahead of this one. Some nitwits with far too much time (and apparently alcohol) on their hands in Ufa, in the Republic of Bashkortostan, in south central Russia, near Kazakhstan, came up with this putrid Jaws satire, obviously titled after the joke in Back To The Future part II, and obviously filmed on someone's cell phone. And allegedly on a budget of 100 Rubles, which, as of this writing, converts to exactly US$1.62.

Absolutely worthless, this opens with poor cell phone-quality shots of people in a lake being swallowed whole by a caricature of a shark, superimposed over the footage. There's not even stock footage of a shark, just this stupid caricature. The shark caricature can attack those on land, jump through the air to get people by surprise, attack some Russian cupcake on her driveway, and even get some guy on the toilet.

This could be taken as a satire of the declining quality of Jaws sequels, and sequels in general, but yet there is no discernible plot or story, and it never climaxes, so much as it just stops after 58 excruciating minutes, followed by five minutes of closing credits. Even with a run time of only 63 minutes, there is a lot of padding, with one goofball stumbling through the woods for more than eleven minutes before the shark caricature and terrible blood splatter effects get him, and several scenes of a Russian watching Putin on television for several minutes at a time.

But I wonder how long it will be before some village idiot will give this ten stars and say it's the greatest movie ever, without really having watched it? Or how long will it take until that worthless little troll with two accounts rates down my comment, and any other comment he/ she finds on this page? "0 out of 2 people found this comment useful".

I wish I had a time machine to convince me not to watch the trailer.

The film follows a ghost shark terrorizing the Baltic coast after being killed by the Russian military. The creature, now a vengeful spirit, attacks victims in increasingly ludicrous locations-forests, toilets, and even suburban driveways-all while a former policeman (Ivan Yakovidish) and a fame-hungry YouTuber (Sergey A.) attempt to stop it. The plot is intentionally nonsensical, blending horror tropes with slapstick humor and meta-commentary on sequels.

Shot on a budget of 100 rubles (~$1.62), the film relies on crude 2D animations, stock footage, and green-screen effects. The shark is depicted as a flat, cartoonish silhouette, often superimposed over scenes like a child's collage. Blood splatters resemble MS Paint creations, and explosions are hilariously unconvincing.

The shaky camerawork and amateur editing mimic found footage, but the tone leans into parody. Scenes of characters philosophizing in forests or watching Putin on TV add layers of absurdity and unintentional social commentary.

The synth-heavy soundtrack and distorted siren blasts amplify the chaos, while dialogue-often poorly translated into English subtitles-adds to the film's quirky charm.

Sergey A. As the YouTuber steals the show with his over-the-top portrayal of a clout-chasing blogger. His deadpan delivery and meta-awareness blur the line between satire and sincerity.

Ivan Yakovidish channels "Russian Chuck Norris" energy as the stoic ex-cop, delivering lines like "I will save Ufa!" with unironic gravitas.

Despite (or because of) its flaws, Jaws 19 has become a beloved oddity. Fans praise its audacity to reinterpret the Jaws legacy as a ghost story and its refusal to take itself seriously. The film's tagline-"Pray... Weapons won't help"-epitomizes its chaotic spirit.

Jaws 19 is a triumph of passion over polish. While critics might dismiss it as "putrid", its earnest absurdity and creative frugality make it a must-watch for fans of trash cinema. Sergey A. Proves that even a $1.62 budget can deliver unforgettable entertainment-if you're brave enough to dive into its madness.

This movie really genius. I never saw so cheep shark movie. The story is talking about ghost shark, whose killing a lot of random people. Genius! I never saw stories about ghost shark, whose killing random peoples! Special effects so bad, that good. The shark is flat! Total flat! No 3D! Only the Russian hardcore photocopy and 2D! The blood is stock footage, whose directors downloaded on YouTube searched: "free green screen effects" The best scenes are murder of Andrey Demianskiy and explosion of train with crash (whose didn't recorded on camera).

Actors are good. Ivan Yakovidish played the Russian Chuck Norris – Ivan Kuznetsov. He is former policeman, whose need to save lives in his city of Ufa. Another good actor is Sergey A., whose played the typical Russian video-blogger, whose want for views photograph the ghost shark. Where is Oscar for Sergey A.? He is the best actor in the universe! So, I recommend this movie for fans of trash and b-movie. So bad, that good.

Within minutes you should know if you have the right sense of humor to watch this film. It's amateur You Tube meets 1950s exploitation. It's co-directed by Ivi Crap so you know immediately by that type of name which market it's going to appeal to. A killer shark meets her end and returns as a ghost to continue her killing. Her spirit can turn up anywhere. In the middle of the woods or out of a disposal unit or out of a toilet pan. This is a novel and experimental effort that some will find entertaining for it's 63 minutes. The English subtitles come across strange at times because the sentences are quirky when translated. And they ask us to vote on IMDB at the end. This is a serious mistake as IMDb has actually got a little b in it's title. I must say I enjoyed this little b film.

This movie is first Russian shark movie. It's very funny! "Jaws 19" is the cheepest movie I have ever seen. After watching this "Oscar movie" I had a fountain of emotions. One question repeated in my head. How? How could this stupid Russians film this stupid movie? Flat flying ghost shark kills random people. Actors from russian villages aren't actors! Some special effects downloaded and edited in this movie from YouTube.

It's total ATAC.

Nice for sci-fi lovers. It is not Hollywood, but also watchable.

I'm interesting, whose drugs Sergey A. was smoked for filming this total microblockbuster. Only for 100 Russian rubles this movie has greatful action scenes with flying 2D ghost shark. The ghost shark looks very scary and angry. Other characters of movie also looks very good. Some episodes are really funny. It's good horror comedy.

I'll recommend this genius movie for everybody. You must watch this cool movie.
