It’s not quite a shark; it’s not quite Dracula … it’s Sharkula! From Wild Eye Releasing, the no-budget, CGI-filled horror film Sharkula imagines if Dracula were to become a shark. You’d expect this to be bonkers, and you’d be absolutely correct, as the film embraces its over-the-top nature, as seen in the brand new trailer. You can watch the video below.
The official synopsis for Sharkula reads:
“The curse of Count Dracula lives on in shark infested waters, claiming the lives of a tourist community. A sea hunt for the new species results in monsters, madness and bloodshed. This great white is putting the bite back into terror, and it has help with the aid of new vampires intent on seeing it survive.”
Sharkula comes from the makers of Sharkenstein and Noah’s Shark, leaving viewers to only wonder what might be coming next from the team. The film is written and directed by Mark Polonia and star Kyle Rappaport (Return to Return to Nuke ‘Em High Aka Vol. 2) a Renfield and Jeff Kirkendall (Return to Splatter Farm) as Dracula.
Sharkula Combines Vampires and Sharks, Two of Horror Fans Favorite Things
Sharks and vampires would seem like a winning combination for horror fans, as each has its own respective sub-genres in the world of horror. It was just a matter of time before they would be meeting in this way. But perhaps we shouldn’t expect anything else from filmmaker Mark Polonia, who has also been turning heads recently with the trailer for another new film, Amityville in Space, which literally takes the infamous murder house that inspired The Amityville Horror and puts it in outer space. Could The Amityville Shark be next?
“I love making films, and I’m glad the technology has come around to being able to let many people afford to pursue it,” Polonia said of his filmmaking endeavors. “The cons would be that there is a saturation of SOV films out there right now, but the pros are, with the glut, there are so many examples of different styles and levels of films, it helps you gauge your own strengths and weaknesses and gives you an insight to up your game, so to speak. Also, anyone, ANYONE who makes a film and gets it finished and released deserves a fair amount of respect in my book. It’s not easy at any level and I remember how tough it was, and still is.”
On what horror he enjoys, Polonia added, “Honestly, I don’t go to the movies as much as I used to as I am so busy making films. I find the current state of horror improving greatly, but there was a decade or so where it really went south due to the fall of the independents losing any foothold in movie theatres, but streaming has changed that and we’re seeing so many interesting films that aren’t a product of the Hollywood mentality of doing the same thing over again, only with more money. The independents are always there first, and really, if you look at it, Hollywood often imitates us. I have to say the Conjuring films have impressed me, as has the latest Annabelle movie. There’s style there, and substance.”
Sharkula will be releasing this June courtesy of Wild Eye Releasing.
