Okay, the first one had an excuse because it was the joke that got out of hands. Sharknado (2013) turned into a huge hype when the day of its release in Video On Demand became a viral phenomenon. But we have to admit as a movie, it was awful. There are many more “bad monster movies” that are way much better enjoyable than Sharknado (2013), but somehow this is the one that ended up being an instant cult classic.
But after 4 Sharknado films, it is fair to accept the franchise has a strong fanbase, because recently we got the confirmation that the fifth episode is on the works, under the title of Sharknado 5… Earth 0 (2017). To be honest, this recent confirmation didn’t get anyone by surprise, because everybody had assumed it would happen. As well as the return of the main star duo of the franchise, performed by Tara Reid and Ian Ziering. And as always, the film will be produced by The Asylum, and be released on Syfy VOD. Anthony C. Ferrante will be on the directors chair, like he did in all the previous films. So be ready for more of the same, for good or bad.
In this fifth installment, the United States of America are devastated, and this time the Sharknado threat is world wide. Many countries in all 5 continents will suffer this surrealistic yet deadly weather freak terror, from London to South Africa, passing by Asia and Mexico. Fin Shepard and April Wexler will join forces with Neva, the bartender turned into sharknado hunter, to stop this menace that is challenging the planet Earth as we know it.
Sharknado fans, be happy.
