First Look at Alan Mancuso’s Sharracuda
Since it’s currently all the rage to combine sharks with just about every possible creature on the planet (I’m still waiting for Slothshark, so please take that idea and run with it), it’s not altogether surprising that someone decided to combine a shark with a barracuda. Enter producer/director Alan Mancuso’s Sharracuda, a film which finds mankind dealing with the aforementioned monstrosity. Like it or not, this thing should arrive on one format or another next year.
What sets this flick apart from its contemporaries is its soundtrack. Mancuso and company are obviously really big fans of rock music, and they’ve assembled a number of underground death metal, hardcore, punk, doom, and stoner bands from all over the planet to help out with the movie. So even if you hate Sharracuda, at least you might enjoy the kick-ass soundtrack.
Need a story? Well, Sharracuda has that, too (via Facebook).
A small coastal town is suddenly attacked by a giant mutated shark. Three young metalheads, an unusual priest and a weird marine biologist decide to throw themselves in the pursuit of the creature with heavy artillery, blessed weapons and fierce fight. Is the monster an aberration caused by pollution, a government experiment or is he the manifestation of Satan? Who cares: The hunt is on!
To keep us occupied until the finished product finally arrives, the filmmakers have unleashed a short clip that gives the world its first look at the titular monster. There’s also some concept art lurking below, which gives prospective fans a more colorful idea of what Mancuso is putting together.
