\"Sharracuda-warning<\/a>Just when you thought the assorted permutations of cinematic Selachimorpha <\/em>[aka sharks], post-Jaws<\/em>, must come to an end, some mad filmmaker always seems to release another one into the wild.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Do We Really Think The Possibilities Are Exhausted?<\/h2>\n

Okay, no one really thinks there’ll come an end to the mutant sharks, B-grade or otherwise — not yet anyway. After all, the cinematic evolution of creature-features is nearly as endless and imaginative as the work of real-life evolution.<\/span> We’ve had Monster Shark (from Lamberto Bava’s 1984 film Shark: Rosso nell\u2019oceano<\/em>), Mega-Shark, Mecha-Shark, Dinoshark, Sharktopus, Sharknados,\u00a0Swamp\u00a0 Shark, Ghost Shark, Sand Sharks, Two-Headed Shark, Three-Head Shark, Zombie Sharks, Avalanche Sharks (via Sharkalanche<\/em>), Snow Sharks, Jurassic Shark, Sky Sharks<\/em> (coming in 2017) \u2014 but there’s still plenty of scope, right? <\/span>The genetic manipulators and gene splicers have lots of tinkering to do. As for me, I’m hanging out for Sharkquito<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, here’s the latest.<\/p>\n

\"Sharracuda-side\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Who Is This Then? (After all, every monster has a name…)<\/h2>\n

Meet Sharracuda<\/strong>, a newly conceptualised creature-feature that brings together shark and barracuda, just to make it even clearer that you’re better off staying out of the water.<\/p>\n

\"Sharracuda-poster-teaser\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sharracuda<\/strong> is a creature-feature about events that take place in a\u00a0 small coastal town that is suddenly attacked by a giant mutated shark (as tends to happen). Three young metalheads, an unusual priest and a weird marine biologist decide to throw themselves into the pursuit of the creature, using heavy artillery, bless\u00e9d weapons and an aggressive attitude. But what is this thing really? Is the monster an aberration caused by pollution, the result of a government experiment, the manifestation of Satan, or a rather impressive CGI creation? Who cares? The hunt is on!<\/p>\n
