You know a movie is trash when you can barely stay awake watching it. From 1949 with a budget of $10 is this cheap piece of crap known as Omoo Omoo the Shark God.

This film was made before things like plot were deemed necessary. Much of the film is just stock footage of animals along with white people pretending to be ethnic look on from shots cut away.

Okay, so there is a plot. A sea captain steals some black pearls from an idol in Tahiti and he and his crew are cursed. That curse is so strong that it goes straight through the TV to us the unfortunate viewers. Really it plays out like a bad episode of Ramar of the Jungle.

Skip it; I wish I had. If you want a watchable bad movie that takes place in the jungle watch Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla.

By the way, this was part of a collection I partially reviewed a while back.
