I saw this film in the theater. I was a one night only showing. I took my oldest son to it. It was a lot of fun. The practical and CGI effects were cheezy but that was on purpose. Lots of heart and charm was put into this one. Glad to own it with this great slip. It shipped relatively fast with my other orders. Thank you!
- TL70mm MemberTim L.Verified Buyer1 month agoRated 5 out of 5 starsA Ridiculously Fun Low-Budget Shark Attack
Hot Spring Shark Attack has such an absurd premise that it immediately won me over: ancient sharks are able to travel through the plumbing of a Japanese hot spring town and attack people practically anywhere. The movie knows exactly how ridiculous that sounds and completely commits to the joke.
The tiny budget is obvious, but that's a huge part of the charm. The filmmakers use puppets, miniatures, green screens, deliberately crude CGI, and other homemade effects rather than trying to disguise their limitations. The increasingly outrageous ways the sharks appear become some of the funniest moments in the movie.
Most importantly, the shark action starts quickly and keeps escalating. By the time the creatures are displaying increasingly bizarre abilities and the townspeople are trying equally ridiculous ways to stop them, the film has fully embraced its kaiju and sharksploitation influences.
It's intentionally cheap, silly, and completely over the top, but that's precisely why it works. If you enjoy movies like Sharknado or Japanese low-budget splatter and kaiju films, this is an absolute blast.
