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.

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.

Ever wondered what would happen if your post-breakup spiral was directed by someone who just chugged an entire gallon of Vodka, fell into a K hole and had a serious vendetta against reality? Welcome to Sharkers.

A whirlwind of sex, drugs, chaos, and a whole lot of questionable decision-making. You think you're ready for what's coming next? Think again. The movie drags you along like you're on a rollercoaster that was designed by a madman who really loves neon lights, bizarre hallucinations, and fake blood.

As the night spirals deeper into madness, so does the plot. It's not so much a descent into self-destruction as it is a freefall into a hallucinogenic funhouse where reality keeps twisting into new, wilder shapes.

Sharkers is like watching someone play out every bad post-breakup decision you've ever considered - except with way more drugs, weird trips, and moments of "Wait, is this really happening?". It's an experience that leaves you breathless, confused, and somehow craving more.

A solid cinematic experience considering the budget. 7/10.

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!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thoroughly enjoyed this captivating, wonderfully silly film. Sharkers is low budget indie film making at it's very best; a fast paced, hallucinatory thrill ride.

With an incredible cast and some particularly memorable, unhinged performances from Neal Ward and Patrick Chamberlain, Sharkers follows jilted lover, Franky (played brilliantly by Niki Burton) on single night of increasingly absurd debauchery - incidentally the structure of this reminded me a little bit of my favourite kid's book, 'Fortunately', by Remy Charlip...but with a lot more ketamine) - building to a crescendo of blood and neon.
