“Lamberto Bava’s loveable Sharktopus epic. It was hardly the first Italian film to cash in on the shark craze, but it just might be the most endearing one.” - Mondo Digital
This Italian sharkspolitation favorite has a certified monster pedigree: director Lamberto Bava (DEMONS, DEMONS 2), co-writer Luigi Cozzi (STARCRASH) and composer Fabio Frizzi (THE BEYOND). When several locals in a coastal Florida town are found with limbs chomped off, an electronics expert joins a team of marine biologists to hunt a genetically modified creature that is part shark, part octopus and 100% prehistoric fish from hell. For added grody realism, real amputees portrayed victims of the film's monster shark!
