Summary
In a small Japanese hot springs town (onsen), visitors are mysteriously disappearing. The police chief and a marine biologist investigate: an ancient shark, awakened, is attacking the spa facilities. As the threat grows, the residents must unite to protect their small community from this resurrected sea creature.
Our comment
This is the perfect antidote to the darkness: a delirious film, assumed absurdity, a tribute to shark-ploitation films with a dose of comedy, surrealism, and a big splash of humor. Hotspring Sharkattack plays with its limits, accentuates them to entertain, and shows that horror can also come with laughter.
