Oh very dear.
This film is like watching your grandparents entering a swinging club with John Merrick. This should have never been made and the thought that anyone would watch or make this and think it is even half decent boggles my mind.
Stay away from this film.
Who wants shark skin boots?

i have a thing for terrible movies. this is perhaps the most terrible movie.

This environmental parable sees a poorly animated megalodon and a dodgy-looking kraken-sized octopus awoken from cryogenic suspension in the polar ice caps by global warming and general humanoid stupidity.
The two seem able to alter their size at will and are compelled to attack all humans they come across by the dark powers of B-cinema. A group of super scientists team up and try to take the two beasts out by luring them into combat with each other, bumping uglies in more ways than one along the way.
The acting is terrible, the effects are awful and the submarine interior sets all appear to be the same empty office with grey curtains covering the walls... and none of it matters…

For most of the young generation vs. Movies began with Alien vs. Predator and Freddy vs. Jason, but 50 years ago they already did these movies and they did everything from Werewolves vs. Draculas, to Ninjas vs. Space Men. The only thing missing was Bieber vs. North Korean Army and we could wrap it up.
Some of this movies make part of list of the worse movies ever made...but this one gets the cherry: due to the global warming two ancient species get defrozen, Mega Shark and Giant Octopuss. They eat mostly airplanes and oil platforms and the only way to get rid of them is by making them fight each other…The one liners to try to push this into… -
Great concept but it was clearly shot as a trailer then built around that. All the lines from the trailer are intact, but don't really make sense in context. For the most part the final battle is the same poorly animated shot of the titular characters kind of wiggling about repeated over and over. That said, there are a few entertaining moments from the creature attacks that are worth taking a look at (you might not want to sit through the entire film though).

Einer dieser ultraschlechten Filme die durch die miese deutsche Synchro noch besser werden! Es ist eine wahre Wonne mit welcher Ernsthaftigkeit die Akteure hier ans Werk gehen, auch Lorenzo Lamas hat im Laufe der Jahre nichts an Talent dazu gewonnen. Leider handelt es sich um einen der recht frühen Asylum Filme, so dass die berüchtigten PS1-Monster-FX recht spärlich eingesetzt werden. Zu alledem sind die Monster-Szenen auch noch viel zu dunkel geraten so dass oft nicht viel zu erkennen ist. Trotzdem unterhaltsamer Trash ohne Sinn und Verstand! Vielen Dank Tele5 dass Ihr uns immer wieder solche Perlen kredenzt.

I'm always disappointed with films from the Asylum (this is the only one I've watched the whole way through) because they seem to promise some glorious, trashy monster movie "so bad it's good" fun but often just end up being straight up bad. This is probably the most famous of their films and it does have a few entertaining moments (the infamous scene with the plane being a highlight) but overall it's actually pretty fucking boring as any enjoyment there might be from seeing the eponymous shark and octopus (rendered in appalling cgi) smashing things up and fighting is negated by the godawful acting, pointless romantic subplot and general tedium that fills the spaces between the (disappointing) monster fights. I'm…

Holy crap. This is a great bad movie. It has it all - bad effects, sharks leaping 30,000 feet in the air, a washed up pop princess, cheapo sets... Loads of fun.

Really truly awful.

This is it.
This is the worst film ever made.When somebody talks about the worst film ever made the first thing that comes to peoples minds might be something like "Twilight" or "Troll 2", and I have seen both those films. Now, don't get me wrong, they are both terrible, terrible films, but this... This one just takes the gold. Or the shit.
Now, when I watched this film I was definitely not expecting a masterpiece. Far from that, I was just expecting some cartoonish, over-the-top, stupid, try-hard film. But it wasn't even that. It's not until the last ten minutes or so you actually get to see what the front cover and the title of the film advertises,…
