Imagine, if you will, a time when Syfy was still called The Sci-Fi Channel. A pre-Sharknado era, when the network constantly ran loads of low-rent direct-to-video and TV movies, often creature features. Sure, these weren’t high-quality fare, often knockoffs of bigger titles, but they had a certain appeal that can’t be ignored. 1999’s Shark Attack, made likely as some kind of HBO original competition to the same year’s blockbuster Deep Blue Sea (also playing at Hyperreal this same week) managed to strike when the iron was hot, leading to Shark Attack 3: Megalodon, easily the most memorable entry in this otherwise-forgotten series. This movie is proof that quality and fun are not necessarily a mutual requirement for a great cinema experience. Starring John Barrowman in the role that bought his house, this is a movie that must be seen to be believed, and with as rare as theatrical screenings are, you don’t want to miss this opportunity. Loaded with weird special effects, a shark that changes size depending entirely on how big the scene needs it to be, and most importantly, one of the most absolutely insane lines of dialogue ever delivered on film, you owe it to yourself to get a ticket ASAP and join us for the most unforgettable Megalodon adventure this side of Jason Statham’s shiny head.
