Sharkers

I literally have NO idea where to even start with this one, and depending on your tastes, that might be a very good thing. First, let me just say that this film is NUTS. The scenarios are are way beyond what most of us will ever see or experience, that's for sure. What starts off as a simple request for a little sexual adventure turns into a fever dream of drug-fueled debauchery and mania. The lead character, a rather dim people-pleaser finds himself in all manner of icky, tawdry, weird, and dangerous. The film is populated with unsavory characters who act out in ways that make complete sense or no sense at all, and let's just say the artificial blood budget must have been robust. So this is how I see this movie - you're at an underground rave. X and ketamine and cocaine is ubiquitous. Sweaty bodies writhing on the dance floor, sexual energy flows like Niagara Falls. And this movie plays on the big screen overlooking the club, inspiring guests to bring peak insanity to the festivities. And that's "Sharkers". Stuart Gordon would be proud.

Brace yourself for a visually striking onslaught of wildly weird-world story telling. I love this directors' bold, provoking, no-holds-barred, take no prisoners approach to indie filmmaking. It's Sacha Baron Cohn meets Warhol meets Scorsese. It's wild. It's fun. It's in your face intoxicating and precisely what indie films should be. The story is interesting enough, but it's really the look that captivates with style on steroids. There's a wonderfully challenging British feel to the whole thing that had me thinking back to films like Trainspotting and How to Get Ahead in Advertising, it really is that cutting edge. Oh, did I fail to mention there are chainsaws and people who get in the way of them. What's not to like.

Sharkers, directed by Patrick Chamberlain, is a thrilling cinematic experience that expertly blends horror and humor, making it a standout in the genre. The film captivates from the opening scene, immersing viewers in a world where the tension is palpable and the stakes are high.

Chamberlain's direction showcases a masterful balance of suspense and wit, creating a unique atmosphere that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats. The screenplay is sharp, filled with clever dialogue and unexpected twists that elevate the plot beyond standard creature features.

Overall, Sharkers is a must-watch for horror fans and anyone seeking a thrilling ride. Its clever writing, strong performances, and impressive visuals combine to create a film that is not only entertaining but also memorable.

Omg this film was epic!!! It had me laughing my head off and the characters in it were so funny. You have to watch this film!! It's bloody brilliant. Pun intended! After all, YOLO! You'll literally laugh your head off.

I bloody love this film. Oh my God LOL!! You can't help feel for Frankie and what he's going through and it was fun watching him deal with the messy situations he gets himself into.

I really enjoyed the camera angles and the close ups.i just laughed so much! I thoroughly recommend you watch this film! It's original with an outstanding cast. If I could give it eleven stars I would!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've never seen anything like this. So hilarious and unexpected, so many levels of humour to this. Great casting and I love the style of dialogue/performance. Haven't laughed like this in a long time, recommending to all my friends if I don't just watch it again with them!! Haha. Sharkers encapsulates the essence of multiple genres but was predominantly an hour and a half of laughter (with definitely many tense moments throughout). Takes you on a journey that is in no way predictable, I was still surprised again after a second watch. Will come back a third time mainly for the incredible dialogue, but also for the brilliant approach to gore/SFX :)
