A freaky storm develops in the Northeast Pacific and massive waves full of hungry sharks hit Los Angeles. The owner of a beach bar goes out to save his family, unaware that things are about to get much worse. This trashy low budget TV movie offers exactly what the title suggests, in fact more. Not only does it give us a shark hurricane but also a shark tornado. The premise alone is worth one star. The end product, however, looks as cheap as its budget suggests: the script is awful, the special effects are terrible, and the acting is hammy. It has its moments but it's not as enjoyably stupid as one might hope. Followed by Sharknado 2: The Second One, Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No, and numerous other sequels.
