First and foremost, aliens in Space Shark introduced the concept of sharks flying around in space, and now we have sharks as arms and legs in the terrifying subgenre of horror. One game that does incorporate this is Iron Sky and another kind of game such as Shark Side of the Moon combines with the narrative nicely. An episode of ‘The Outer Limits’ comes to mind where a different type of horror is presented, wherein the horror does not seem to be invented by natural forces but by someone’s imagination, rather.
Now news flooded regarding, The commercial spacecraft called The Clairvoyant while returning skins to earth loaded with alien ocean and plant life to which there was small in comparison, Researchers seem to envision the cake wish big paintings in their minds, talking still.
The team comprises Dr. Johnson (Eric Roberts, Exceptional Beings, Runaway Train), Dr. Thompson (Carl Crew, Devilreaux, The Forbidden Dimensions), and Dr. Hansen who was born Scott Schwartz but has acted in A Christmas Story and The Toy, Raiders of the Living Dead, Cafe Flesh 2 as well as providing the voice of Agent Big Knob in Booby Trap. Quite a mixture for such a profession.
But all they have waiting for them is a meteor shower that breaks the ship and forces them to touch down somewhere in the forests of California. It also ends in a manner where sharks become human-sized, talk and walk on their feet, breathe air and go out on an expedition to hunt humans for higher targets in a Without Warning remake.
Dustin Ferguson who is the writer and the director of (Cocaine Cougar, Amityville in the Hood), is known to regular readers, however, I have a feeling that he may not be a person whose works they liked this much. Much of this is very much bound to his characters — generic ‘non-storylines’ cast of actors for hire simply ‘wander’ in the frame and ‘die’ off somewhere, there is just no plot in that, let alone the absurdity in the deaths. It’s really like an 80s style of slasher without the gory entertaining parts Amidst The Darkness.Â
As soon as the alien creatures arrive on Earth, Space Sharks become that way. It is not so much the sharks that are said to be triffids as the creatures that do most of the killing but rather the plants.
Their presence was a welcome distraction as the sharks were capable of rendering themselves almost invisible for the larger part, reappearing only for a split second to kill someone in a shower of computer-generated blood.Â
Couseling them is the recovering junkies and the last twenty minutes feature what is basically predator with Nora (Allie Perez – Amityville Emanuelle, Stokes River Haunting) who is probably the only still-fit member of the crew left who isn’t in a bad state, all things considered. Rather than highly trained mercenaries, she would try to pull off the last thirty minutes with a group of ‘rehabilitated’ addicts led by counselor Rochelle(Brinke Stevens – The Slumber Party Massacre, Smart House). But it was more than not only a bit much of what was required to be to do even that so much as requested to do the main plot is quite briskly concluded and so to reach the seventy-minute mark there was simply a lot of filler garbage that was handed to us.Â
For that duration yes, Space Sharks does take significantly from Predator, the cloak, the heat vision, the odd eviscerated body’s hanging skin, etc. The spacecraft footage and the triffids aside, most effects are bound to be superior but not anything extraordinary than what Ferguson’s films deliver.
To put it in a nutshell, Space Sharks can be said to be better than most of what Ferguson has previously offered to us in one way. However, the complete lack of a good deception which uses a conspiracy theorist wandering around with a cellphone or another one with Mel Novak John from Game of Death and An Hour to Kill as Nora’s father, whose subplot is dropped without further explanation, prevents it from being anything more than mediocre on any of those elements.
