There are mega-budget theatrical blockbusters. Those “tent pole” franchises that audiences flock to see at their local cineplex. Mind-numbing.
Then there are those arthouse flicks that have their audiences too. All sorts of films. Pick your poison.
And then there are those special guilty pleasures that have absolutely no pretense about them. Pure entertainment designed specifically for genre audiences to enjoy and have fun with … and in many ways far more enjoyable than films with twenty or thirty-times the production budget.
Such is the case with any new release from prolific filmmaker Mark Polonia. He knows his audience and delivers the goods.
The latest, from Wild Eye Releasing — with sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group — arrives on DVD this coming June 13. This would be none other than Jurassic Shark 3: Seavenge.
Yes, the unstoppable megalodon is back and that is pretty much all you need to know. Some might call this the third installment is a trilogy, but for Polonia fans, this is much more than that.
He’s developed an entire sub-genre of killer-shark films … an entire film festival of mutant, flesh-munching sharks could play for a solid weekend. Audiences might run out of popcorn before running out of shark “tales” to watch!
He started off small in 2005 with piranha, not sharks, in Razorteeth, toyed with us with his dino-flick ten years later, Jurassic Prey, and then discovered the motherlode of terror. Sharks!! All kinds of sharks … Sharkenstein, Land Shark, Amityville Island, Shark Encounters of the Third Kind, Virus Shark, Jurassic Shark 2: Aquapocalypse (picking up for Brett Kelly with the sequel to Jurassic Shark), Noah’s Shark, Sharkula, Doll Shark and now Jurassic Shark 3: Seavenge, with Cocaine Shark in post-production!!!
Bonus goodies include commentary from the shark master himself, writer/director Mark Polonia!
