Sharkula

And not in a good, Dracula way. More in a Hunt's Point hooker at 3 AM way. I like a good, or even a bad shark movie. This was neither. The people who made this pos should be ashamed.

I'm always up for a cheap shark movie but wow! This is the worst excuse for a movie ever...I'm in shock.

It's sort of unreal how they've patched together random images and locations and called it a film.

I'm not even sure where to start. I've seen bad movies before, and I've acted on stage with poor actors, but this movie has both in spades.

I think most of it was literally shot on somebody's tracphone. The refresh rate gives about half the film a feel of slow motion that can make you queasy just watching it. The actors (bless them) are trying but it's pretty easy to see that they're amateurs of the first kind working with a script that needs a lot of help. Nobody seems to really show any emotion in their roles, they just read the lines. The guy that plays Renfield kind of reminds me of somebody imitating John Lovitz but I was distracted by and had to laugh at his eyes moving back and forth as he read from his cue cards. Every 10 minutes or so the film cuts to a character (somebody's girlfriend maybe?) of a woman standing on a beach twirling some things with lights. No idea what that's all about? It's about the only parts of the film shot with a passable camera.

The set is someone's poorly lit house and unfinished basement, and special effects are limited to a rubber shark head, a rubber bat, and some stuff done on somebody's laptop. They really should name their company Amateur Studios, because this is the kind of stuff you see from a High School drama class.

I give it one and a half stars because (although it is really bad) these guys are trying and you have to start somewhere.

No pun intended - and I reckon only works if you are aware of the song. A classic - the movie right here not even close to a classic. Now of course we can talk about all the things that do not work here (effects, acting, script and so many more things) ... but if you are one of the people who do not mind ... or rather relish in the mayhem presented here .. any objectivity here is out the window.

So if you can just sit back and laugh at the ... well low brow? I am not sure if I can describe it any better - but the movie that has name checks (yes Renfield is in this too) ... but it is the actors that really sink this ... well if you can call them actors that is. So many things wrong with that ... well now you know ... and hopefully make an informed decision ... better not watch.

I've watched this twice now. Why you might ask? Because it is so bad it is fantastic!!! The acting is horrible, the special effects are ridiculous, the hotel is someone's house, the script is hilarious, and the night filter reminds me of a stocking over the lens. If you want to waste an hour of your life....or 2 in my case....then this is the film for you. To be honest, though, I will probably watch it more times just for the comedy factor!!! It is hilariously stupid!!!!
