Editorial Reviews

Legendary schlock producer Roger Corman returns to the genre that he pioneered (and makes a hilariously chintzy cameo appearance, to boot) in this sensitive character study of a misbegotten shark/octopus hybrid that escapes the control of its navy handlers and begins to snork down surfers off the coast of Mexico. For fans of this sort of thing, all of the base elements of a superior creature feature are present, including cold-blooded scientists, beefy soldiers of fortune, and acres upon acres of postage-stamp-size swimwear. Unfortunately, while star Eric Roberts delivers a gloriously straight-faced performance as the creator of said majestic killing machine, much of the supporting cast indulges in the sort of broad winking at the camera that marks too many of the modern exploitation movies. Still, a concept this goofy won't go down without a mighty fight, and the sight of the titular character casually picking off bungee jumpers and crawling up on land (sure, why not?) to harass unsuspecting musicians is pretty irresistible. If, in the final accounting, the movie is only half as enjoyable to watch as the title is to say, that's still an awful lot of fun. --Andrew Wright

Product Description

It is known as S-11, a diabolical hybrid of shark and octopus created by genetic scientist Nathan Sands (Oscar®-nominee Eric Roberts of THE EXPENDABLES and THE DARK KNIGHT) as the U.S. Navy's next super-weapon. But when its control implants are damaged during a training experiment, the beast escapes to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for a taste of sun, sand, bikini babes, jet-skiers, spring breakers and beyond. Now a hotshot mercenary, an investigative reporter, and Sand's biomechanical engineer daughter must stop a creature like none ever witnessed before: It has superior intelligence. It attacks without warning. And it likes to snack on bungee jumpers. Kerem Bursin and Sara Malakul Lane co-star with a hilarious cameo by legendary producer Roger Corman in the unforgettable Syfy Original Movie about the 8-tentacled eating machine called SHARKTOPUS!

Just looking at the movie poster, I knew this film was supposed to be bad, and I knew I had to see it. Thankfully a friend of mine had recorded it when it aired on SyFy, so I am writing this review based on the videotape I am currently watching. Yes, a videotape. You know those things that you use to stick inside a VCR to watch or record a movie before they made DVDs. I know a few of you might still might might know what these antiques are. Anyways, as a note to those who gave this film 1 star, didn't you know this was a parody?

This should have become apparent to anyone within the first 15 minutes of the film when Roger Cormen (yes he is making an appearance in the film) watches a young woman using a metal detector on the beach. The young woman finds a piece of gold, and is quickly attacked by the tentacles of the Sharktopus and eaten. After the young woman is eaten, Roger Corman, walks down to the waters edge and picks up the gold piece the woman has dropped during the attack and walks away with the gold. At no part in this scene does Corman appear to be frightened of what has just transpired in front of him, and even smiles at the camera. So in a sense this film is supposed to be a comedy. It just depends on how you take it.

So basically, if you liked the remake of Piranha, you will probably like this movie as well. It has plenty of funny outrageous gags, stupid lines, bikinis, sand, and almost everything that made Piranha great (except no nudity.)

Eric Roberts (brother of Julia Roberts) deserves an academy award for his role in this film. After all he was the only person in it that could actually act, and besides he has never won one.

Even the editor deserves some kind of award for quickly hiding a machine gun.

Who doesn't love genetically engineered animal hybrids? I love them, clearly the SyFy network does, and Roger Corman as well. B-movie genius Corman does take a production credit on the epic SyFy presentation "Sharktopus" and even contributes an inspired audio commentary for the DVD and Blu-Ray release. Unless you lack creative reasoning, I probably don't have to tell you that a Sharktopus is a horrific combination of shark and octopus (with some fun neck spikes thrown in for decoration). And the visual realization of this nightmarish entity is truly the selling point of this effective bit of bad movie mayhem. For my money, to make a classic bad movie legend--you need several important components: First, a wacky killing machine. Second, a maniacally deranged, but logically challenged, plot. And third, a cast giving you overwrought dialogue as if the fate of the world depended on it. Thus, using my completely arbitrary personal criteria, "Sharktopus" is a solid entry into the bad movie lexicon that misses being a highpoint in the genre.

A rather subdued Eric Roberts plays an ethically challenged scientist. With the aid of his daughter, Sara Malakul Lane, the pair have created the Sharktopus in conjunction with the U.S. military industrial complex (here represented by one actor). Roberts may have shielded his little princess from some of the more nefarious purposes behind Sharktopus, but when the creature goes rogue off the coast of Mexico--the truths start to become apparent. A former employee, Karem Bursin, is lured back to be a ripped and shirtless love interest--oh wait, I mean to track the beastie. And the youngsters set out to stop the carnage that is devastating the tourist population in various resort villages.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a riot! Bad acting at its best!!! July 8, 2011
By S. Dang
Format:DVD|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
I love campy movies, and this movie had it all. The bad acting. The low-cost special effects. The cheeseball dialog. And has-been cast!

Roger Corman is a B-movie master, and this movie seems to have culminated his career. It is hilarious, aweful, hilariously aweful.. LOL What more can you ask for from a Roger Corman fan.

Definitely recommended viewing for any B-movie aficionado, like myself. The premise is just so ridiculous I'm laughing as I type this. I really think he's the best of the worst :)))))

Format:DVD|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
This movie has a few of the charming "bad movie" characteristics, but about 50% of the movie is just kind of boring.

We do get 3 or 4 good death scenes involving victims whose words are kind of hilarious given that the audience knows they are about to eat it.

The sharktopus animation was actually pretty good, though there is some amusement to be found when it is poorly integrated with the living characters.

Some good gun fights near the end, and a decently corny strategy-based plan by the Good Guys at the end.

Overall, this movie had all of the parts of a good "bad movie", but it doesn't quite hook me like Jack Frost (not the Keaton one) or any of the other true "cult classic" movies. The visual appearance does look like a cheap cable network movie, not an amateur cheese job. However, it is enjoyable for those who like watching made-for-TV scifi movies just to kill time, and the cover art on the DVD case is an awesome thing to have sitting on your shelf.

3.0 out of 5 stars Horribly awesome
I found this movie to be a great candidate for riffing. It was definitely a B quality movie. I probably wouldn't watch it again unriffed simply because it was painful to watch.
