caddymanI was noodling about on the web last night, looking for something else on the Internet Movie Database, when I happened upon this little nugget, due to be released on 25 June and hit the bargain bins by lunchtime:
It’s not as you might imagine, produced by The Asylum, but like Hammer before them, they have clearly spawned imitators. The movie has been produced for SyFy in the US and I am hopeful that it will be a worthy addition to the schlock-shark genre pioneered by Jaws 3 and 4, then taken to another level by Deep Blue Sea and then perfected by Sharktopus and Mega Shark v Giant Octopus.
As it stars Kristy Swanson, I wonder what the odds are that it will bomb (high) and then lead to a successful TV series (low)..?
