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.
