Dinoshark
Stars: Eric Balfour, Iva Hasperger, Aaron Diaz | Written by Frances Doel, Guy Prevost | Directed by Kevin O’Neill
Recently (very recently!), I reviewed The Devil’s Tomb. I didn’t like it. My main criticism was that it took its stupid concept seriously, without humour or irony and I concluded that it wasn’t even worthy of being deemed ‘so bad, it’s good’. I watched The Devil’s Tomb immediately before I watched Dinoshark – now this is how to do a bad film well. Dinoshark is an unaccountably terrible film. But it knows this and is utterly hilarious.
The film begins with a chunk dropping off an ice shelf, from which several tadpole-like things emerge. Cut to three years later and behold! The Dinoshark! (Which, if you hadn’t guessed, is essentially a big shark with a tyrannosaurus Rex’s head.) The abominable being swims to Mexico to...

Megasaurus, Megapiranha, Supercroc, Dinocroc and now Dinoshark. What is your catch of the week? The plotline follows the usual giant animal terrorizing beaches, but this time Roger Corman stars with Eric Balfour (Skyline). This title releases on DVD and Blu-Ray April 26th and here is your fair warning to stay out of the water. More details are below.
A partial synopsis for Dinoshark is here:
"Local captain Trace McGraw (Eric Balfour) and marine biologist Carol (Iva Hasperger) seem to be the only ones convinced that the creature terrorizing their shores is something other than the expected man-eating shark. They enlist the help of the world’s only expert on the Dinoshark (Roger Corman himself). Together, will they be able to reel Dinoshark in?

Director: Kevin O'Neill.

Roger Corman (a recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award at our recent Trinity of Terrors) is a mainstay of the American Film Market and always has been, and that’s where we caught up again with the veteran producer, who’s doing a couple of new killer-fish movies for the Syfy channel. “Dinocroc was a big hit for us,” he tells Fango, “and Syfy wanted another one, so now we have Dinoshark, which we shot in Mexico, and that has turned out so well, the next one we’ll do for them is…
“Octoshark!” No doubt this flick is about a crossbreed between the two sea species, though we’d like to think it concerns a great white trying to raise too many offspring and becoming a media sensation. In any case, Dinoshark was directed by Kevin O’Neill (who also helmed Dinocroc) from a script by Frances Doel and...
