Sharktopus

"Sharktopus" is a movie in the monster panic genre. The film was directed by Declan O'Brien, and starrs Sara Malakul Lane in the leading role. The movie was released in 2010.

 

The United States Navy asks a team called "Blue Water" to capture a creature. The creature has the lower body of an octopus and the upper body of a shark. This is Sharktopus. Sharktopus is a biological weapon that was created thrugh genetic engineering by the United States Navy. Sharktopus can move fast also in the sea and on the ground. And it has 8 legs and sharp teeth. They are heinous weapons when Sharktopus attacks people.

 

As can be understood from the title, this is a straight monster panic genre movie. As the creature, Sharktopus appears frenquently, I can watch this movie without boredom. It has a good tempo. In addition, the Sharktopus' CG model is perfect. It is able to express the violece of sharks and the eerie  movement of an octopus.

 

"Sharktopus" is a great movie. It is the king of B-movies. I recommend this movie for B-movie beginners.

 

Ghost Shark

"Ghost shark" is in the monster panic genre. The film was directed by Griff Furst, and staries Mackenzie Rothman in the leading role. The movie was released in 2014.

One night, the bounty hunters are fishing. They catch the fish of a mercenary, but the fish is eaten by a shark, so the bounty hunters are very angry. They beat the shark, and the shark runs away from the bounty hunters. But the shark dies because it was weak. Amazingly, the shark is revived and becomes a ghost. The ghost shark eats the bounty hunters, however its anger doesn't settle. Moreover the ghost shark marches into the town.

The unique point of this movie is the ghost shark. The ghost shark is a shark, so because it's a ghost it has no substance. It is very interesting. The ghost shark appears in various locations. For example, it apears in water pipes, water buckets and water servers. In other words, the ghost shark can appear wherever there is water. For that reason, it has a different appeal point from other shark B-movies.

My favorite scene in this movie is when the ghost shark attacks by blending into the rain. I was very impressed seeing this scene. I never thought I would be so impressed by a B-movie. I think the setting of ghosts is used well.

"Ghost shark" is very intersting. It is a wonderful point to mix ghosts and sharks. Please see "Ghost Shark "
