Sharkula

OK, the reason we are here is that we like B grade shark/horror movies to get some good laughs.... well... STAY AWAY from this one. I am 20 minutes into it and its just bad, really bad. There are Sharknado and Sharktopus that are GREAT in the cheesy sort of way... but this is just bad.

The acting is bad, filming is bad, plot is bad, editing is bad, special effects - you can't even call them special effects, just bad.

I cooked chicken mid way through and still got everything story had to offer. Beer battered chicken with salt and hit sauce - but not as hot as the production quality. The CGI was a little ropey but the camera work and editing was second to none. Liked the GTA San Andreas graphics they went for, makes everything pop like my ear drums when you have to turn it up for the quiet parts and then get blasted buy Dracula's beautiful voice. Couldn't finish my chicken in the end.

You know who these people are that give these films a 10/10 rating? I kept cringing from the moment the film began. How on earth can you call these production films? There are so many talented film makers out there who are struggling to get money, to produce quality films and out comes this garbage! The story line / plot was not thought about, the actors not believable - in fact they were terrible and embarrassing and the special effects? Laughable. The whole film is laughable and if someone calls this a a great film (a masterpiece in the making), they have no idea what film making is all about.

I'm not even sure where to start. I've seen bad movies before, and I've acted on stage with poor actors, but this movie has both in spades.

I think most of it was literally shot on somebody's tracphone. The refresh rate gives about half the film a feel of slow motion that can make you queasy just watching it. The actors (bless them) are trying but it's pretty easy to see that they're amateurs of the first kind working with a script that needs a lot of help. Nobody seems to really show any emotion in their roles, they just read the lines. The guy that plays Renfield kind of reminds me of somebody imitating John Lovitz but I was distracted by and had to laugh at his eyes moving back and forth as he read from his cue cards. Every 10 minutes or so the film cuts to a character (somebody's girlfriend maybe?) of a woman standing on a beach twirling some things with lights. No idea what that's all about? It's about the only parts of the film shot with a passable camera.

The set is someone's poorly lit house and unfinished basement, and special effects are limited to a rubber shark head, a rubber bat, and some stuff done on somebody's laptop. They really should name their company Amateur Studios, because this is the kind of stuff you see from a High School drama class.

I give it one and a half stars because (although it is really bad) these guys are trying and you have to start somewhere.

Yeah I saw this and I saw the reviews and thought it would be a so bad it's good type of deal. It mostly wasn't worth it. I watched this with some friends in hopes of a good laugh but we didn't get as much as we wanted. Besides the very beginning and the ending where things start to pick up this movie is just plain awkward, embarrassing, unfunny, and very boring. The poor quality of just about every aspect of the film is a little funny at first but that where's off quickly. In conclusion not the best way to spend your hour even if you have some buddy's with you. Go watch a Neil Breen movie instead.
