Megalodon: The Frenzy (2023)

In 2018, The Meg was one of the biggest releases of the year and became a worldwide hit with its oversized killer shark. Never one to ignore riding off the glory of a big Hollywood blockbuster, The Asylum would put out its own quick-to-video knockoff called Megalodon. This mockbuster starred Michael Madsen and was instant Red Box fare with its low budget and atrocious story. Despite this, The Asylum would continue to pump out follow-ups with a third entry, featuring the prolific Eric Roberts as the marque star and horror Scream Queen Caroline Williams. This time, the havoc left by the second movie, Megalodon Rising, has the Navy with only a few ships to fight off a collection of Meg's that have been released due to deep sea mining. With some gung-ho spirit and determination, the commanding officer will lead his crew to finally defeat these sharks with the help of some scientists who offer their assistance. As with the previous movies in this series, this film features atrocious CGI, bargain basement sets, and absurd fight scenes involving the ship's crew and the sharks of random sizes. With little to recommend, one had to wonder how many more of these silly Meg movies The Asylum will produce, and one can hope to see Megs in Space.
