SOURCE-Blu Ray
I kind of miss how 10 years ago you knew most Saturdays on SYFY channel you got a new movie. Mostly CGI filled creature features. But they would be fun watches with a room full of folks.
Somehow back then 2 Headed Shark Attack missed my attention. Even after seeing on the sadly short lived show Monster Man how the shark was made I still didn't bother watching it.
Skip ahead to late last year. Was on my way to see someone, stop at one of the many Dollar Generals in the deep south to grab a drink. And like always dug through their selection of dvds and blu rays. Found the above pictured double feature for 2 bucks new sealed. Thinking it might be a bit before I watched it. Here almost a year later I am watching it.
Now most of these SYFY originals would get a name or two for the cast. This time we got 3, Charlie O Connel,Jerry's brother, Carmen Elektra and Brooke Hogan... Yea the Hulkster's daughter who tried to be a singer then in wrestling then in films. Failing at all three.
Charlie is the Captain of a semester at sea ship. Brooke is one of the students. One who as a kid got terrorized by a shark so is afraid of water. Carmen is pretty much here in the film as eye candy.
Their ship gets damaged and taking on water. But off in the distance is an atoll. So they load up in two skiffs and head to the atoll. Which is where we learn there is a shark with two heads that patrols the water off the atoll.
Mostly the shark is CGI and looks ok. There is a few scenes with a puppet shark that looks good. It was these scenes I saw on Monster Man.
Not that much gore really. Very little nudity and foul language. Really not much had to be cut to air this on SYFY.
One thing that caught my eye is Fred Olen Ray's son Christopher directed this. Nice to see he is following in his dad's footsteps. Maybe we will get Evil Toons 2 soon.
The blu ray is bare bones. Got the movie and that is it. But it looks good sounds good. And for 2 bucks for 2 films I feel like I got my money's worth.
2 Headed Shark Attack gets a C-
