I have to write this review. Simply because, against my better judgement, I watched this. It's is billed as Comedy/Horror on IMDb. I expected it to be quite amusing. Sadly I must report that it is so bad it is not even close to being funny.
Granted the plot is so bonkers that you shouldn't expect realism (A shark crossed with an Octopus being used as a Navy weapon against drug runners is a good pointer here) but there are so many errors, obvious goofs and terrifyingly shonky special effects that it actually becomes painful.
It is an awful film when Eric Roberts is the best actor in it by a country mile and you know he's not even trying. The supporting cast are a bunch of no-hopers not even good enough for a supporting role as a corpse in CSI. The "special" effects are so awful they're not even good enough to be a school project. Add to this the complete ignorance of basic biology and you have something that's not even laughable.
I thought it would be so bad it's good. Unfortunately it really is just... so bad.
I really really wanted to give this a better mark than After Earth but it falls short by a very long chalk. It only gets a 1 out of 10 because I watched it to the end. I wish I hadn't.
