“Baby Shark” in the universe of this movie is “Sea Shark Swim.” There’s a kid named Kirby (River Dalton) who loves that song and his dad, the shark hunter Brock Banner, sends him a stuffed version of that beloved shark. He decided to make it even more special by including an actual shark tooth from the giant monster that he just caught, sewing it inside the toy.

In case you were wondering, “Could that stuffed shark become possessed and eat everyone?” the answer is yes.

And the dad calls it a devil fish, like something out of a Lamberto Bava movie.

By the point that Kirby is being watched by his babysitter Lyla (Daniella Donahue) — and she gets him drunk so she can have people over for a party and he’s like four or five — the shark has begun to kill all of her friends. That brings Brock back to save his son.

Where’s Kirby’s mom? She’s out getting laid.

Directed by Mark and Anthony Polonia, this is exactly the kind of movie you think it is, but also because the Polonias worked on it, it has some heart beating beneath it all. I laughed more than a few times and if a movie about a stuffed killer shark can give you that gift, it’s a worthy film.

You can watch this on Tubi.
