A lot of sharks, too many indies and a classic horror/comedy await you come Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008. Behold...

Though I’d like to say that anytime John Schneider and Daryl Hannah are in a movie together, I’m there with no questions asked. Sadly that is not the case, but throw in a shitload of sharks and you’ve won me over.

Nature. It’s all around us, at all times, just watching … waiting for us to slip up and make its move so it can go … AMOK! Instead of going over the latest shitty remake or throwaway horror film in theaters, the topic for the latest Dinner for Fiends is something close to every horror fan’s heart; nature gone amok movies!

Coming just a few weeks after we showed you the Shark Swarm poster ("Shark Swarm Poster, Full Synopsis!" - November 2007), RHI Films has now updated their official website with 105 pictures from the fish flick. The pics are small and heavily watermarked, but something is better than nothing.

You may not remember the project known as Shark Swarm, but that’s more our fault than yours since we haven’t mentioned it in a while ("Hallmark Gets Shark a Swarm!" – July 2007). We’ll make it up to you guys now though, I promise!

Looks like man-eating B-movie sharks will once again begin surfacing in 2008. We'll be getting the John Schneider/Daryl Hannah sharktacular Shark Swarm on TV, Nu Image (the kings of B-movie sharkdom) are planning to unleash Sharks in Venice and only Stephen Baldwin can save the Italian canals, and now the city of Malibu, California will find itself the site of further shark-on-human action in the not-so-cleverly titled Malibu Shark.

Over the weekend a reader dropped us a line with a heads-up about a new film being shot for The Hallmark Channel, of all places, that really sounds like it might be the shark movie we’ve all been waiting for. Seriously.
