Aiming to create the U.S. Navy's next hyper-weapon while fiddling with shark and octopus DNA, the visionary geneticist, Nathan Sands, comes up with a nightmarish prototype: the genetically enhanced "S-11" hybrid. However, after a botched attempt to harness the creature, the unstoppable beast escapes into the warm waters of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where unsuspecting tourists and unaware locals alike become its next meal. Now, the government wants the monster back, and former mercenary, Andy Flynn, along with Sands' daughter, Nicole, and fisherman, Santos, seem to be the only ones cut out for the job. Can they stop Sharktopus, the underwater killer with the razor-sharp teeth and the tentacles of death, before it slaughters everybody in the seaside resort? Written by Nick Riganas
This has got to be one of the most bizarre things ever created since the dawn of man. Not only is is strange, it's mostly downright horrible.
However, Eric Robert's performance is actually halfway descent and this is probably one of the most entertaining "so bad it's good" movies ever made. Just the fact that a movie with a premise like this exists is amazing.
Furthermore, the Sharktopus is probably one of the most intriguing and complex creatures in cinematic history. Not only did I feel a deep personal connection to the Sharktopus, I feared for it. I felt that instead of trying to kill it, the characters should have tried to preserve this majestic animal.
Overall, this is a great, though provoking film that surely will be recognized as one of the greatest films of the century. Buy this film as soon as possible and remember to always #Flex On!
