House Shark Plush Toy - Soft & Cuddly Stuffed Animal for Kids & Collectors | Perfect for Gifts, Bedroom Decor, and Shark Lovers

The people who gave this one star would have also given AIRPLANE or SCARY MOVIE one star. You have to “get it”. It’s an indie film on a very low budget, so you have to accept it’s not going to be full of CGI and special effects. Given that, they do a lot with visual effects that are insanely clever, inventive, and absolutely hilarious. I laughed out loud all the way through this. Great dialog and one liners every couple of minutes. You have to pay attention to get the jokes as many are references to Jaws. There’s a fight scene between the three main characters and the house shark in which the hysterically over the top “German guy” character tells the hero, who is dressed as a “female” shark (wearing a pink apron) to show the house shark his “lady parts” to keep it from killing them, that had me rolling. I watched this three times on Prime for free before buying the Blu Ray. The three main characters are all great, but Trey Harrison and Michael Merchant were the two who absolutely sold me on the movie. Michael Merchant put “The Night of Something Strange “ into comedic gold and he does the same thing with “House shark” with his wonderfully over the top performance. I actually did not even realize it was the same actor until I looked it up on IMDb, he’s so different in this film. In both films, he was the funniest character. Trey Harrison, who was also in Night of Something Strange is the perfect straight man, and balances out his counterparts perfectly. The directing is awesome with some really great camera work on what had to be a very limited budget. The last 15 minute underwater sequence is possibly one of the best things I have seen in an indie film. Hilarious and so inventive. I am a huge John Waters fan and I would say this team of actors, producers, and director/writer are creating similar cult classics. Even the credits are funny, with a reference to aliens that you have to wait for to the very very end. There are a ton of horror comedy films that try to be intentionally bad and don’t pull off making that funny. It’s a very difficult thing to do and these guys have done it perfectly. I don’t think I would ever say this movie is intentionally bad. It’s not. It’s intentionally over the top and it’s done in such a way that it’s very smart and makes you laugh very hard.
