Revisit the Insanity of ‘Sharknado’ With the Documentary ‘Sharknado: Feeding Frenzy’; Now on SCREAMBOX
What began as another Syfy creature feature has now become an important piece of pop culture, taking over the world with multiple sequels that came in its wake.
In Sharknado: Feeding Frenzy, filmmaker Jeremy Wagener revisits the 2013 cult so-bad-it’s-good horror movie Sharknado, directed by Anthony C. Ferrante for the Syfy Channel.
In Sharknado, which spawned several sequels and is currently celebrating its 10th anniversary, when a freak hurricane swamps Los Angeles, nature’s deadliest killer rules sea, land, and air as thousands of sharks terrorize the waterlogged populace.
“Sharknado: Feeding Frenzy takes a ride into the Sharknado frenzy with a film geared to entertain while exploring how a Syfy creature feature become an unimaginable franchise and surprise phenomenon capturing the zeitgeist.
“With such a ridiculous name and premise, the low-budget movie about a shark-filled tornado destroying Los Angeles, Sharknado, was considered career suicide.
“However, when the Sharknado film finally premiered on SyFy, a social media conversation exploded, and news outlets ran with it. As a result, the film, cast and filmmakers were catapulted into the pop culture stratosphere! Why? How? Can filmmakers create lightning in a bottle again and again?” (Amazon)
