Sharknado

Modern day audiences are accustomed to lazy sequels and derivative cash grabs when it comes to multiplex horror these days so the success of the straight to TV horror movie Sharknado back in 2013 was quite a surprise.

The plot of the film is so stupid it borders on genius, a cyclone hits LA and in the process scoops all the sharks out of the sea and whirls them up in a big ‘sharknado.’ See? Genius!

The film took social media by storm and has since spawned a sequel- Sharknado 2: The Second One with another one (Oh, Hell No) on its way.

Whilst the film is meant to be a satire it would be giving it to much credit calling it one, what it is though is a barrel of laughs. The sequel however couldn’t capture lightning in a bottle twice and proved that when it was trying to be bad it just plain sucked.
