Featured reviews
The movie begins innocent enough with an interaction between the main character and his partner. Appears to be the beginning of a romantic movie. However, our protagonist takes a step backward which leads to the possible loss of his relationship and into the arms of unsavory characters. The movie starts to feel like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas with the odd close-ups and camera movement that aid the story. The cinematographer uses light as a source to enrich the scenes, whether hot pink or orange, bright then sometimes unfocused to "confuse" the audience.
Then it moves into the realm of Clockwork Orange with psychopaths in full stride and the dismantling of the main protagonist's mind as he suffers through one train wreck after another. Definitely a movie if you like psychological mind games and worth a look.

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.

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 is a film that will blow your mind. It is an emotional rollercoaster that I did not want to end. I love it's grittiness and style. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Incredible production and well cast. It's tongue in cheek and has some scenes which make you question your life and your reality. Absolutely mind blowing. It's very funny. It's weird and has the feeling of trip. You might not enjoy it, but it'll blow your mind and change your vision. A timeless film that transcends the norm. This film isn't here to make friends, it's here to make you startle you and shake you to your core. I love it. Bravo.
