After finishing American Crime Story: The People Vs. OJ
Simpson, I decided to jump back into some low budget horror tonight before
diving back into AHS: Hotel. After doing that though, I quickly realized I made
a mistake with my selection: 2016s Sharkenstein.
Plot/ In the final days of World War II, a secret experiment
to weaponize sharks is shut down and destroyed by the Third Reich. But now 60
years later, a bloodthirsty, mysterious creature plagues a small ocean town,
one built and reanimated using parts of the greatest killers to ever inhabit in
the sea - the Sharkenstein monster!
While I expected this one to be bad, a small part of me held
out hope that I was wrong. Unfortunately, my instincts were right, and this one
quickly landed on the list as one of the worst films I have seen in some time.
Actually, I would rate it beneath the presidential debates (which could be
taken as horror/comedies from a certain perspective). There is really nothing
redeemable in this film. The special effects range from bad to worse, the CGI
horrible (I know it is an effect, but it is THAT bad), the scripting is flat,
and the overall quality is just not there. Yes, I am a fan of no-budget horror,
but this has nothing that I could immerse myself into to make it worthwhile. In
the end, this is one of the worst shark films that I have seen, and would even
be bad for a SyFy Channel original. Stay away, it is really not worth the 73 minutes that I took to watch it. However, if you do want to see something that is a true piece of independent horror cinema, check out THIS video from Project Veritas.
