Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda

This is what happens when you give Corman CGI ! He could make these things forever. How many hours have been wasted watchingbhis films ?

Absolutely horrible. A TOTAL HORRENDOUS MESS. This might cause unexpected suicides. Do not watch this.

Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda (2014)

* 1/2 (out of 4)

A (what else?) nutty scientist creates a half pterodactyl, half barracuda, which breaks free and goes on a killing rampage. To try and battle it they set free the half shark, half octopuses and soon the two are killing countless swimmers and battling each other.

SHARKTOPUS was a pretty bad made-for-TV movie but I'm sure the concept alone got people to tune in so we were greeted with this sequel, which is slightly better but that's really not saying too much. When it comes to these types of movies, one really shouldn't expect quality but instead they should just hope for something entertaining. With that being said, SHARKTOPUS VS. PTERACUDA isn't a complete success but there are enough campy moments to make it worth viewing once if you're a fan of these types of films.

The highlight has to be the cameo by Conan O'Brien. O'Brien, the actor, is quite annoying playing himself here as he simply goes too far over-the-top but what follows is quite campy and actually hilarious. I'm not going to ruin his fate or what happens but it's quite funny. Robert Carradine is decent in his role as are Akari Endo and Tony Evangelista as the heroes. There are a lot of fun and gory deaths throughout the running time but after a while the movie really gets boring and it starts off rather poorly. Too many slow moments keep this from being more entertaining.

This film is another terrible creature feature from the ScFy Network. No one should be surprised by its low quality. Roger Corman is a master of lousy science fiction and this is no exception. A half-Shark, half-Octopus does battle with a half-Pterdactyl, half-Barracuda. It has all the expected elements, half-hearted acting by the stars, hammy extras, and lousy special effects. Of course, the creatures snack on the extras and destroy a few boats before the inevitable battle between them takes place. Coreman has described the schedule as "grueling." That also accurately describes sitting through this whole movie. What took so long? It's no better than the no-budget quickies that this resembles.

If you're after cheesy low budget sci-fi, then this should get you through the afternoon. It's not one of the best cheesy C-Grade sci-fi films you'll find out there, but it's worth a look if you want to kill time waiting for the next low budget TV creature feature, "Sharktopus vs Whalewolf".

It's better than "Transformers: Age of Extinction", but worse than the original "Sharktopus".

The highlights of this film were the badly acted tourists, but in saying that, some of the acting wasn't too bad, and there were quite a few intelligent lines for an unintelligible movie. Some of the characters were kind of funny, for eg. "You'll have to contact my lawyer, but he's in jail right now." The effects are good for a laugh. I like to watch these types of films and imagine the big "what if's?", in other words, what if this were a sixty million dollar budgeted film, how cool would sharktopus look. It's kind of a bland blank canvas you can paint your own imagination on.

I give it a three out of ten for overall quality but if this were the "B-Grade Internet Movie Database" it would get a five.
