If you’ve sought out any of Mark Polonia‘s previous microbudget (at best) horror releases, you know what quality ceiling to expect from Cocaine Shark. The movie costs as much as the animation to manipulate Cocaine Bear’s left paw for thirty seconds, maybe even less. Polonia’s signature is churning out poster-perfect titles like Amityville in Space or Sharkula with table-scrap resources, which only sometimes deliver as advertised. Cocaine Shark artwork features a ferocious Great White surrounded by bricks of floating white powder but narratively follows a story that aligns more with Joe Dante’s blink-and-miss laboratory creation in Piranha. It’s “Cocaine Shark” in name and marketing alone, undeniably zany with a less-financially-endowed Troma aroma, but ultimately uninteresting as dull dialogue dominates the seventy-minute duration.

Stars: Maria Leite, Pedro Barão Dias, Joaquim Guerreiro, João Vilas, Mário Oliveira, Clemente Santos, Francisco Afonso Lopes | Written and Directed by Fernando Alle
You know a film has to have a certain quality when it gets picked up for distribution by Troma; and if you’ve seen director Fernando Alle’s previous shorts: Papa Wrestling and Banana Mother***ker, you’ll know what that quality is… sheer creative insanity. And Mutant Blast is no different!
The film tells the story of Maria, a fearless soldier who, after rescuing Ts-347, a man with superhuman strength, is being pursued by a military cell responsible for scientific experiments that created Ts-347 And resulted in a zombie apocalypse. On the way, they meet Pedro, a man with few ambitions and a great hangover (and imagination). Together, they will try to escape to a safe place, but complications cross their paths in the form of a nuclear bomb.

Portuguese filmmamker Fernando Alle first popped up on our radar a few years ago with a short film he co-directed called Banana Motherfucker, a story about cursed bananas, filled to the brim with gloriously gory practical effects. A short time after that Alle began working on his debut feature length film, Mutant Blast, and it finally arrived in the Fall of 2018. Mutant Blast has been enjoying a healthy sprint on the festival circuit, starting back home in Portugal at Motelx and on to Chatanooga, Blood Window Fest, picking up a couple awards at Fantaspoa, and will be playing this week at BiFan in Korea. The first trailer for Mutant Blast is now here. Find it in all its head smashing and stabbing...

I know you have just come back from the Cannes festival, where you premiered Return To Nuke ‘Em High Vol. 2 (2017). Can you tell me what your experience was like in Cannes this year?
It’s getting more and more difficult at the Cannes film festival for independent movie artists to do publicity, unless they have the hundred thousand dollar posters or the money for the big party that worships the shrine of money and jewellery and fashion. Cannes is more about the jewellery and fashion than it is about movies. It’s clear the Cannes film festival does not want any independent movie there that is not part of the elite, that’s not part of the club, that is not part of the very refined fascist mentality. I think they show good movies, but if those good movies are not in with the club, forget it. Troma is famous.
