Sharktopus (2010)

[Swamp Thing]

Roger Corman has directed a new movie for the SyFy channel called Sharktopus! Now that is a great bad movie title!

MUST SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Bungee Jump scene was awesome!!


(Being a Corman flick, I wonder if they will go back in and add boobs to the the DVD release?)

Nice. I always enjoy a goofy monster movie that knows its a goofy monster movie, and Corman is just the guy to do it. The sharktopus itself is pretty cool, and we get Eric Roberts too. I like it.

Interesting side note, this is not the first movie to feature a shark-octopus hybrid. There was Devilfish back in the 80s. That one was also engineered as a weapon. Would make a nice double feature, I think. Even better would be the MST3K version of Devilfish and a Rifftrax for Sharktopus.

Looks fun    I'll have to check it out.

And he comes with his own catchy theme song!

Double-plus good!

This has got to be the best looking SyFy (ugh how even typing the name fills me with loathing) creature themed movie of all time. The monster design is rather inspired, it has what looks like actual gunfire from guns, Eric Roberts, a catchy theme, this would have been a drive-in classic. I even hate CGI usually, and this looks like a lot of fun.

I'm loking forward to this, I just hope that they didn't show all the good parts in the trailer. 

I also really like the monster design and CG work.  It strikes me as the CG equivalent of those rubber monster suits.  It's bad, but in a charming enjoyable kinda way, not like a lot of bad CG that just looks like they couldn't come up with anything better.

I agree with what everyone else is saying: it looks like a fun creature flick.  It's an updated version of "Devilfish!"  However, this time the creature can actually move around and do things like jumping out of the water to snatch bungie jumpers off of their elastic tethers.  I also like how it growls.

I think this comment on YouTube summed it up quite well:

Huh, you know, I always wondered what you'd get if you mixed a premise invented by a 13-year-old boy with the worst CGI the world has seen since Jar Jar Binks. Now I know!

Anyone else notice the ITALIAN troad signs?
