SHARKTOPUS hits DVD and Blu-ray next week, March 15, via Anchor Bay. To whet your appetite for cheesy fun, we have two video previews. The first is a clip from the film featuring an epic beach attack by the titular monster. The second is a video of producer Roger Corman providing commentary on the special effects for the film.
An eight-tentacled nightmare hybrid of shark and octopus, “S-11” was created by genetic scientist Nathan Sands as the U.S. Navy’s next super-weapon. But when its control implants are damaged during a training experiment off the Mexican coast, the beast escapes to Puerto Vallarta to sample the local fare – bikini babes, jet-skiers, and spring-breakers. With the ocean terror now out of control and seemingly invincible, a ragtag group – comprised of a hotshot mercenary, an investigative reporter, and Sand’s biomechanical engineer daughter – have come together to stop the unholy beast from turning a seaside tourist resort into the ultimate human buffet. But it won’t be easy: it possesses problem-solving intelligence, attacks without mercy or warning – it even has the ability to walk on land.
The flick, which premiered on Syfy last September, is directed by Declan O’Brien (WRONG TURN 3) off a script by Mike MacLean (DINOCROC VS SUPERGATOR). It stars Eric Roberts, Kerem Bursin, Sara Malakul Lane and features a cameo by Corman himself.
