Sharktopus – half shark, half octopus, all crap.
When I first saw the title for Sharktopus I had to wonder if last summer’s Mega-Shark vs Giant Octopus on Syfy was actually a tale about forbidden love.
Thankfully, the answer to that is no.
Sharktopus is from director Roger Corman, the 21st century version of Ed Wood (Plan 9 From Outer Space). Known for his grade Z genre films, Corman is the perfect fit for Syfy‘s Original Saturday Night monster movie franchise, which fully embraces his style.
Bad acting? Check. Worse dialogue? Check. Non-special non-effects? Double check. Don’t even get me started on the soundtrack, which sounds like a mash up between one of those beach movies from the 60′s and something from Quentin Tarantino on a bender.
Park your brain and behold the stupdifying awfulness that is Sharktopus.
