If you thought a single shark was terrifying, try imagining one with five heads.
Released in 2017, 5-Headed Shark Attack is a wildly over-the-top sci-fi horror movie from The Asylum ā the same studio known for cult classics like Sharknado. This installment continues their proud tradition of ridiculous creature features, this time featuring a genetically mutated monster tearing through the waters around Puerto Rico.
š¬ The Premise
Marine researchers and beachgoers find themselves under siege when a mutated five-headed shark rises from the depths of the ocean. With its heads arranged in a starfish-like pattern and a thirst for blood, this apex predator is more than just a threat ā itās the stuff of absurd nightmares.
As the death toll rises, a team of scientists and law enforcement must band together to stop the unstoppable⦠preferably before it grows a sixth head.
𤯠What Makes It So Wild
Five Heads, One Body, Endless Chaos: The design of the creature defies logic ā which is exactly the point. It’s ridiculous, terrifying, and kind of hilarious all at once.
Beach Horror Meets Sci-Fi Absurdity: Think Jaws on a lot of energy drinks. The plot barely takes a breath as the shark goes on a rampage.
Campy Fun: With dialogue that makes you laugh (sometimes unintentionally), and CGI thatās gloriously low-budget, itās perfect for fans of “so-bad-itās-good” cinema.
