I bet you\u2019re wondering the same thing. In order for a whalewolf to come to life should a werewolf bite a whale, or would a whale bite a werewolf? If a whale bit a human would it become a werewhale? Hey, the logic I\u2019m posing is just as silly as the logic in \u201cSharktopus vs. Whalewolf,\u201d a movie that\u2019s much more fun than it has any right to be. Right off the bat, the thing to remember is the movie doesn\u2019t take itself seriously at all. This is about a movie where a sharktopus are murdering people left and right and our main heroes aren\u2019t all that emotionally distraught after the fact.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This time around Casper Van Dien plays sea captain Ray, who is hosting a funeral aboard his ship. When the widow falls over, the sharktopus has her for lunch. He\u2019s jailed for manslaughter, despite his insistence sharktopus did it. Now he has to prove Sharktopus exists, along with his ex-girlfriend Nita (the gorgeous Nakari Endo), who also witnesses a massacre by Sharktopus. Just their luck a local scientist is specializing in gene splicing with various animals\u2019 DNA, and is experimenting on a local baseball player who wants to improve his game. When her experiment kills him, he rises from the dead and re-emerges as Whalewolf. Because that\u2019s how stuff works!<\/p>\n

Now Whalewolf and Sharktopus are running rampant through the Dominican Republic and it\u2019s up to Ray and Nita to put a stop to their havoc, or else others might suffer deaths that will go generally unnoticed. Also Ray has to catch the heart of Sharktopus for a local voodoo priest for the sake of rituals. \u201cSharktopus vs. Whalewolf\u201d wears its intentions on its sleeves with silly comedy, shifty special effects, and a plot that\u2019s built around the inevitable clashing between these monster hybrids. For all intents and purposes we do get to see these monsters fight at least once or twice, and it\u2019s entertaining depending on how much you want to see Sharktopus battle Whalewolf. All in all, the performances are spirited, the comedy is slapstick, and \u201cSharktopus vs. Whalewolf\u201d scratches at the itch for a creature feature with two juggernauts going at each other\u2019s throats. I won\u2019t say it\u2019s a masterpiece, but it\u2019s guilty fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
