Oh great another lame shark movie was my reaction when I heard the title. It took a little convincing to have me sit down & watch the four minute promo at Berlin Film Festival earlier this year. The film makers were set up with an iPad & sound cancelling earphones at a Swiss reception, abducting party goers & getting them to watch the footage. As soon as it started to play out I knew it was different from the low budget trash TV. After trying to sneak a photo of the screen & being chastised the footage is now online for all to see below.
As you can see the CGI is superior to the usual shark template used by similar movies, due to the FX team boasting credits on Game Of Thrones with the Emmy award winning dragons. The arrival of zombies & practical effects gore are the blood dripping cherry on top.
Beyond the amazing 4 mins above here’s what else to expect in the finished feature which you can be part of making over on Kickstater.
Deep in the ice of the Antarctic, a team of geologists uncover an old Nazi laboratory, still intact, where dark experiments had occurred. Unwittingly the geologists unleash upon the world a top-secret experiment the Germans had been working on – modified sharks that are able to fly, whose riders are genetically mutated, undead super-humans. The only thing that can stop them, and possibly save the world, is a military task force called “Dead Flesh Four“ – assembled from reanimated U.S. soldiers who fell in Vietnam.
You can follow the progress of the project on their FB page,Twitter & Instagram accounts or be the first to hear news when backing the film by grabbing a reward – the best of which in my opinion involves you GETTING KILLED by one of the LEAD NAZI ZOMBIES in a CLOSE-UP, then fed to a shark.
What was your favorite part of the promo & how many cameos did you recognize? In the spirit of being transparent I work with Raven Banner who are selling the film.
