‘Huge Shark’ Looks Like China’s Answer to ‘The Shallows’ [Trailer]

Published

More shark attack horror is on the way from China, we’ve learned this week, with a film titled Huge Shark (aka Deadly Shark Beach) swimming our way with a first-look trailer today.

The film is directed by Huang Zhaosheng, with the cast including Zhao Yihuan, Huang Tao, Hong Shuang, Luan Tian, and Zhang Lei. Here’s the official plot synopsis…

“Due to changes in ocean currents, shark activity has appeared near a certain diving area. The hungry shark is ready to move, waiting for an opportunity to start a merciless killing. Doctor Shen Xin was invited to attend the birthday party of his cousin Liu Yiran, but by accident, he got involved in the emotional farce of Zhou Tianming and He Wendy. The four strayed into the shark-infested place, and the bloodthirsty hunt was staged. In order to save everyone’s lives, Shen Xin starts a desperate contest with the bloodthirsty sharks.”

Huge Shark looks to be China’s answer to the Blake Lively-starring The Shallows, pitting one woman up against a massive shark that just won’t quit. Check out the official trailer below.

Thanks to Avery Guerra for the heads up about this one.

Don Mancini in the “Early Stages” of Working On a New “Chucky” Movie!

Chucky death

Everyone’s favorite killer doll is headed back to the small screen with “Chucky” Season 3: Part 2 on April 10, but are any further movies being planned at this time?

Created by Don Mancini, the “Chucky” television series remarkably plays around with existing elements from all previous films without disregarding ANYTHING from the past. From the original Child’s Play to sequels including Child’s Play 2, Bride of Chucky and even Seed of Chucky, it’s all one cohesive timeline that Mancini remains deeply committed to.

Of course, the most recent film in the Child’s Play franchise was the 2019 remake, to date the only movie in the saga that’s NOT part of Mancini’s vision. Is Mancini’s original incarnation going to spend his final days on TV, while another Chucky will be featured in the movies? It’s a question we’ve been asking ourselves for the last few years, and we may now have an answer.

Speaking with the Scream Dreams Podcast this week, Mancini revealed that he’s in the early stages of development on a potential new installment in the original Chucky film franchise!

“Like anyone in this business, I want to do more things. At this point though if it’s only Chucky I’m totally cool with that,” Mancini explains. “I have other things I want to do. I’m working on a new pilot. I’m also, actually, in the early stages of working on a new Chucky movie.”

Mancini adds, “At this point, my goal is just to keep working.”

Outside of the aforementioned Child’s Play remake, there are to date seven installments in the franchise, with Cult of Chucky (2017) being the original franchise’s most recent film.

For now, Chucky remains a small screen icon. Don’t miss the premiere of Season 3: Part 2 on both USA and SYFY on April 10, with new episodes hitting Peacock the day after they air.
