"Run! It's a trap by the shark!" Ahahaha. Yes it is!

It already opened in Japan last summer, and is finally getting a theatrical run in the US starting in July this summer. There have been cases of mysterious disappearances of onsen visitors in Atsumi City.

Onsen Shark (as it is originally known) stars Takuya Fujimura (also from One Cut of the Dead), Daniel Aguilar, Shôichirô Akaboshi, Masaki Naito, Koichi Makigami, Kiyobumi Kaneko, and Mio Takaki. This looks absolutely terrible. But terrible in a good way... I guess? Perhaps? Sure, why not. Have fun and enjoy a ridiculous B-movie about sharks inside onsen pools in Japan. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for […]
