Wild Eye Releases Space Sharks Upon Us

[Peter Paltridge]

Despite a temporary detour into the subgenre of drug-addicted woodland animals, sharks remain the king of B-movie disaster horror pictures. Space Sharks, the latest offering from Wild Eye Releasing, continues the tradition. Yes, the sharks are from space, but not in the manner you might think. Up on an orbiting space station, sinister experiments of mad science were bring conducted to merge man and shark together. The experiments got out of hand, as they usually do, and the shark men rocketed back down to Earth to sow chaos. Thing is, once you give the sharks bodies, they bear an unmistakable resemblance to a certain 1990s line of action figures. The origin is the same as well. I don’t know who owns the Street Sharks now, but the makers of Space Sharks might be getting a call from someone’s lawyer. Space Sharks stars Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight, The Expendables) , Scott Schwartz (A Christmas Story), Vida Ghaffari, Mel Novak, and Brinke Stevens. The movie was directed by Dustin Ferguson, who

Space Sharks? Sign me up! This sounds like the perfect recipe for a gloriously cheesy B-movie night. Mad scientists, shark-men, and Eric Roberts phoning it in? Pure cinematic gold! Who cares if it rips off Street Sharks? That just adds another layer of campy fun. And hey, at least they got Scott Schwartz from A Christmas Story! This movie sounds like it knows exactly what it is and doesn't apologize for it.

Space Sharks? This could have been amazing! The idea of weaponized space sharks is ripe with potential for a truly outrageous sci-fi romp. But of course, it has to be a low-budget B-movie with shark-men that look suspiciously like 90s action figures. Ugh. Don't get me wrong, I love a good cheesy movie, but there's a difference between cheesy fun and lazy rip-offs. And throwing in random actors like Eric Roberts just screams "phoned in." This movie sounds like a wasted opportunity for some truly bonkers space-shark action.

Dude, Space Sharks sounds like a nightmare version of my childhood! I practically grew up on Street Sharks. Remember those figures? Jawesome! Hammerhead, Riptide, Slamm, the whole crew. Sure, they were cheesy, but they were heroes! These Space Shark guys sound like the opposite - weaponized, evil versions out to destroy everything. This is like finding out your favorite cartoon characters became flesh-eating monsters!

Space Sharks? This is exactly what I blame on Sharknado! Ever since that ridiculous movie became a cult hit, studios have been churning out these mind-numbing animal attack flicks with outlandish premises. Giant sharks, killer bees, piranhas on a plane... it's all the same formula! Space Sharks sounds like the absolute bottom of the barrel. Can't we get some creative monster movies back? Something with a good story and characters, not just cheesy dialogue and recycled CGI? Here's to hoping this Space Sharks mess flops hard and sends a message to Hollywood: audiences are ready for more than just mindless sharksploitation films.

Yeah This reeks of a desperate attempt to cash in on the whole "Sharknado" craze. Giant sharks destroying things? Been there, done that. Throw in a space station and some knock-off Street Sharks? Pure marketing ploy. This movie is all about hitting buzzwords and hoping for a cult following. It probably has a low budget, recycled special effects, and a plot written on a napkin. Give me some originality over cheap thrills any day. There are plenty of hidden gems out there in the B-movie world. Space Sharks, from what it sounds like, will likely sink without a trace.

Space Sharks sounds like a classic case of "so bad it's good" cinema. Director Dustin Ferguson has a history of these gloriously cheesy creature features, and throwing Eric Roberts into the mix just adds to the B-movie bingo card. While the Street Sharks comparison is blatant, it also injects a dose of campy charm. This movie isn't meant to be taken seriously - it's about giant, weaponized space sharks with questionable origins causing mayhem. If you're looking for intelligent sci-fi, look elsewhere. But if you want to laugh at ridiculous dialogue, terrible CGI, and actors clearly having the time of their lives, Space Sharks might just be your aquatic B-movie masterpiece.

Hold your horses, Sharknado-hater! Space Sharks sounds like pure, unadulterated B-movie goodness! Don't get me wrong, I appreciate a well-crafted monster flick, but sometimes you just gotta embrace the glorious cheese. Space station gone wrong + shark-men + Eric Roberts phoning it in? Sign me up! This is exactly the kind of movie you watch with a group of friends, riffs flying faster than those space sharks. Besides, haven't you learned anything from Sharknado? So-bad-it's-good movies can be a blast! Who knows, maybe Space Sharks will become the next cult classic.
