Wild Eye Releasing, with sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has some terrific news for genre fans. If you flocked to theatres to see filmmaker Elizabeth Banks’ Cocaine Bear, or waited until it arrived on DVD or Blu-ray, then you are in for a real treat on July 11.
That’s the DVD debut date for director Mark Polonia’s Cocaine Shark!!
We alluded to this a couple of weeks ago with the news of the June 13 DVD release of his latest genre thriller, Jurassic Shark 3: Seavenge. Cocaine Shark was, at that time, in post-production.
As genre fans know, Polonia has a gift for shark horror tales — something like a dozen films so far, including Land Shark, Shark Encounters of the Third Kind and Noah’s Shark. With the success of Cocaine Bear, you just knew in your heart of hearts that Polonia would take full advantage of the hype and strike while the iron was hot … Cocaine Shark is on the way!!
Terrifying! That’s what drug lord Gaurisco (Ken Van Sant — Return to Splatter Farm, Doll Shark, Virus Shark) is up to. He’s opened a secret lab where his mad scientists are working on a new drug — HG25 — that is more addictive and cheaper to make that anything else on the street … what could possibly go wrong with that?
If you are a genre fan, you already know the answer. The lab specimens used in the testing begin to mutate and Gaurisco is informed that things are going as planned. And then the worst happens … the lab blows!!
The mutants are loose, including the title character, a “Cocaine Shark,” and not just any shark, but a mutant hammerhead shark with crab claws and it is definitely high on something … and has the munchies!!!
Filmmaker Mark Polonia wisely steered clear of launching Cocaine Shark over the July 4th holiday … beach parties would have been ruined with just the rumor that such creatures were loose. So, July 11 is the street date for his latest sea-going horror extravaganza. Start with Jurassic Shark 3: Seavenge on June 13 and by July 11 you’ll be hungry for more shark-horror!!
Bonus goodies include commentary from director Mark Polonia and stop-motion animation out-takes.
