3-Headed Shark Attack

The B movie extravaganza continues on Daniels Super Sexy Movie Reviews. You might have read the review on 2-Headed Shark Attack, brought to us from The Asylum. Even if i did not find myself enjoying that film, for several reasons, i always find myself curious to see new B movie releases from The Asylum. The do give us some wonderful films sometimes, and when they do, you remember what love feels like at first sight. The first film 2-Headed Shark Attack, had a funny concept, but did not manage to put the pieces together, thanks to really awful special effects, and extremely bad acting. So i knew that i would not have high expectations for a sequel, this time with a 3 headed shark instead. But wait a minute, let´s look at the actors here. Danny Trejo is in this film, now this is a man i respect, both for his good heart, and for so many fun movies that he have been in. The first Machete film is one of those films i can watch over and over again, it is becoming a bit of a classic. Jaason Simmons might be remembered from Baywatch, and of course his role in the first Sharknado film. Wrestler Rob Van Dam is also here, who have been in a few films, like Black Mask 2: City Of Mask. We also have Jena Sims here, who have been in some big movies like Last Vegas and Kill The Messenger ( this is a really good film ). So the cast is definetely looking better in this sequel, and this sequel is also directed by Christopher Ray, who directed the first 2-Headed Shark Attack film. With no high expectations, i had to see if this sequel would at least be better than last time, with a much better cast. Is 3-Headed Shark Attack the sequel that we finally were hoping for, or is this as bad as the first film, or ever worse?

Dr. Ted Nelson ( Jason Simmons ) and Dr. Laura Thomas ( Jena Sims ), both work on an underwater research facility, where they investigate mutated sea species, that have been created by garbage thrown into the sea. A team of invited guests, are chosen to have a look around the facility, so they learn what Dr. Ted and Dr. Laura is here to do. Suddenly a large object is seen on screen, heading towards the underwater research facility. They are attacked by a 3 headed shark, that no one have ever seen before. The whole team manage to escape the facility, while some of the facility workers are killed by this sea beast. The team realise that they will not be able to escape completely, unless they find a way to stop the 3 headed shark, from taking more victims.

After watching 3-Headed Shark Attack, i finally have some hope for director Christopher Ray. This film looks much better, have better special effects, and the acting is at least better than last time. Just the story is much more developed, where he drops almost all those stupid college kids, and tries to make characters instead. The 3 headed shark even looks better, it does more attacks and eating human flesh. Since we know this is a film from The Asylum, you can´t expect great acting and powerful emotional scenes. But thats not what their films are all about, they are supposed to make fun B movies for us who have great taste. If you did see the first film, you might remember how silly some of the action scenes looked like, with no effort at all to make it look funny. This sequel is definetely a step in the right direction, where you do get to see more effort to make the action scenes look better. Some of the best actors here are without a doubt Jaason Simmons, and his science collegue Jena Sims. They may not be Oscar nominated, but for a film like this they at least deliver a performance that fits in the frame. Danny Trejo may not do one of his best performances, but you can´t help to like seeing him once more, he is just simply awsome in eveything he does. So do we have any problems with this film ? Sure, i would have liked even more battles with the 3 headed shark, with even better special effects. I would also have liked to see more weapons, while they fight against the mutated shark, i could think of many cool weapons. Then of course we do have some bad acting, as most of the The Asylum films have. But overall, this is a much better sequel than the first film, i am actually surprised that the same director have done this film. If you hate B action horror films, this is definetely not going to give you any pleasure, but if you do enjoy cheesy fun acting with low budget action, 3-Headed Shark Attack might make your day become lovely. Sharknado is of course the best shark films so far from The Asylum, and i doubt no other films will beat these classics, but it is still fun to see other versions, combined with crazy ideas. Now i must leave, i have to kill the 2 headed seagull with demon horns outside my window. Maybe Pat Robertson was right all this time, the end of the world is finally here? Oh damn, i did not even have time to make my favourite cookies.
