Monster Shark (also known as Shark: Red on the Ocean, Devouring Waves and Devil Fish) is a 1984 Italian horror film, and one of several environmental disaster films to emerge following the success of the 1975 film Jaws, including films such as: Great White, Orca, Piranha, Tentacles and Tintorera.

The film takes place along a stretch of coastline somewhere in Florida in the United States, where a local tourist spot has come under threat by a marine creature created by genetic mutations during a secret military experiment. The creature is a mutation formed from a common octopus and a great white shark. Unfortunately, the creature has broken loose, and is now feeding on swimmers and tourists swimming or sailing along the coast.
Monster Shark was poorly received by critics. As of September 2009, the IMDB rates the film in 83rd place on their Bottom 100 list.[1]
Monster Shark, under its alternative title of Devil Fish, was featured on an episode of the movie-mocking television series Mystery Science Theater 3000, on which it was spoofed for its poor acting and erratic editing.[2]
