What if hotspring, but shark? An ancient shark species is awakened from its slumber by aggressive urban development. The mayor had planned to open a luxury wellness resort – yeah, not happening! Police, soldiers, even the U.S. military are helpless against the Onsen Shark. What sets Hotspring SharkAttack apart from other trash-loving-cinema is its almost dialectical Looney Tunes logic, which not only subverts the B-movie genre itself but (hard to believe, we know) oozes anti-capitalism in every frame. But luckily sharks can only swim in water… right?
