If the sharks in other horror movies just aren’t big enough for you, the upcoming Onsen Shark (aka Hot Springs Shark Attack) might be precisely what you’ve been looking for.
The upcoming Japanese monster movie is being advertised as a Tokusatsu shark attack experience, promising a heavy reliance on old school-style practical special effects!
In the film, “There have been cases of mysterious disappearances of Onsen visitors in Atsumi city in S prefecture. The victims were eventually found dead with signs of severe injuries to their bodies resembling a vicious shark attack. The police chief of Atsumi city investigates and unravels the mystery behind their deaths.
“A vicious shark has resurrected from ancient times and has been visiting the hot springs to attack people. This becomes a battle between Atsumi and the ferocious shark.”
The team previews, “Entry scenes of the shark will be created using special modeling to the best possible extent with TOKUSATSU special effects. We will of course use CG! We will fabricate a full scale Onsen-Shark tail, dorsal fin, a controllable shark head in guignol (a large-hand puppet), and a special shark-fighting submarine.”
Morihito Inoue is the writer and director for Hot Springs Shark Attack, and the project is currently being crowd-funded over on Indiegogo. Learn more by checking out the campaign.
