A couple months ago – soon after the successful theatrical release of director Elizabeth Banks’ Cocaine Bear (read our review Here) – we saw the trailer for Cocaine Shark, the latest movie from prolific low budget filmmaker Mark Polonia. We already knew at that time that the movie had secured a distribution deal with Wild Eye Releasing, and now we know when Wild Eye is going to be sending Cocaine Shark out into the world. The film is set to receive a DVD and VOD release on July 11th!
July 11th also happens to be the start of the Shark Week marathon on the Discovery Channel, so this is some perfect timing.
Scripted by Bando Glutz, Polonia’s Cocaine Shark has the following synopsis: A mafia drug lord has unleashed a new, highly addictive stimulant on the streets called HT25, derived from sharks held captive in a secret lab, and which causes monstrous side effects.

Who knew movie-goers had such a hunger for movies about animals on cocaine-fuelled rampages? In less than two weeks of release, director Elizabeth Banks’ Cocaine Bear (read our review Here) has racked up over $50 million at the box office. In the build-up to the release of that film, a news report about New Zealand police recovering more than three tons of cocaine that was found floating in the Pacific Ocean got people talking about the possibility of a Cocaine Shark movie… and the idea was even passed along to Banks, who said, “Jaws with cocaine, I don’t see how that loses.” But as it turns out, Banks has been beaten to the Cocaine Shark idea by prolific low budget filmmaker Mark Polonia, whose own Cocaine Shark movie is so far along that it has already secured a distribution deal with Wild Eye Releasing, and a trailer is already online!

"I saw a giant shark with glowing red eyes in the water! What is it?!" Wild Eye Releasing has unveiled an official trailer for a no budget, trash horror film creation called Sharkula, by filmmaker Mark Polonia who makes nothing but D-movies every year. They've made Sharknado, Exorcist Shark, Jurassic Shark, Shark Encounters of the Third Kind, Virus Shark, so it seems this is next up on the shark + horror mashup. The curse of Count Dracula lives on in shark infested waters, claiming the lives of a tourist community. A sea hunt for the new species results in monsters, madness and bloodshed. Oh my. This Great White is "putting the bite back into terror," with the aid of vampires intent on seeing it survive. Starring Jeff Kirkendall as "Dracula", with Kyle Rappaport, Jamie Morgan, Natalie Himmelberger, James Kelly, and Titus Himmelberger. It looks absolutely terrible, but I think that's the point.

Who doesn’t love a good shark movie? Hell, who doesn’t love a bad shark movie?! There’s certainly a wide variety of shark movies available these days (and I think we’ve reviewed most of them here on Nerdly too), from ridiculous films like Ouija Shark, Ghost Shark and Virus Shark, to The Asylum’s Sharknado franchise and more mainstream fare such as 47 Metres Down, The Shallows and The Reef.
And it’s with the latter film that Great White feels most in common. Both films come from Australian filmmakers, both films feature a small group of people stranded at the beck and call of great whites… But then aren’t all shark film usually about a small group of people trapped by sharks?
In the case...

I think I’ve watched more films by Mark Polonia during this past year in lockdown than I have in the rest of my life. Which is apt given this, his latest film, deals with a global viral pandemic… Though unlike the current one we’re experiencing here in the real world, the virus in Virus Shark comes from a shark. As if I needed to explain that given the title!
Dubbed Shvid-1, the virus has decimated the globe, with millions dying, riots and violence in the streets, martial law declared everywhere. Basically the world has turned to shit. The only thing standing between humanity and what looks to be the end of the world are a group of scientists working 800 metres under the sea, trying to find...
