Fresh off the success of Sharknado, Syfy has released the first trailer for their next original movie, Ghost Shark, debuting Thursday, August 22. Mackenzie Rosman, Richard Moll, Tim Taylor, and Lucky Johnson star in this horror tale about a phantom shark that can hunt its victims from both land and sea. Take a look at the first footage from this Syfy TV movie, directed by Griff Furst, before it debuts next month.

Last Fourth of July, teenager Christy Bruce disappeared from a high school beach party. Her severed arm washed ashore a day later. Drunken sea captain Blaise Shaw became a hero to the small seaside community of Harmony after killing the great white shark that was deemed responsible, but the Christy Bruce murder was no shark attack. Blaise turns to ghost hunter Ava Conte, who is skeptical but intrigued by his ghost shark ramblings. With preparations for a massive July 4th celebration rapidly approaching, they soon find themselves embroiled in a conspiracy of sex and murder involving the town's wealthiest and most powerful citizens. Unprepared to contend with a Ghost Shark that can hunt on land, sea, as well as anywhere there is enough water or rain to sustain its phantom form, Blaise and Ava must uncover the truth about the towns dark past or fall victim to the Ghost Shark.
