Bonkers Trailer for the Japanese Shark Attack B-Horror Movie HOT SPRING SHARK ATTACK
Here’s a wild trailer for a Japanese shark attack b-horror movie titled Hot Spring Shark Attack. It looks like a bonkers good time! One of those so bad it’s good kind of movies.
The film is set in Atsumi City, “where construction of a huge tourist complex led by the mayor, Mankan, is underway, a series of incidents have occurred in which the people while bathing in onsen have suddenly disappeared.
“What's more, the bodies of unidentified people who had been attacked by sharks in the sea were found. The police chief, Tsuka, and a marine biology doctor, Kose, who set out to investigate, discover the shocking truth that ferocious sharks that have been revived from ancient times are freely moving between the hot springs and attacking people...”
The movie was directed by Morihito Inoue, who said: "Shark movies are popular in Japan as well, but the number of shark films produced here has not yet met the growing demand.
“My film was made domestically in Japan and received great acclaim, not only from regular shark movie enthusiasts but also from many viewers who were previously unfamiliar with the genre. I’m very excited to see how this work will be received outside of Japan."
The movie stars Takuya Fujimura (One Cut of the Dead), Daniel Aguilar, Shôichirô Akaboshi, Masaki Naito, Koichi Makigami, Kiyobumi Kaneko, and Mio Takaki.
Hot Spring Shark Attack will be released in select US theaters including special screenings at Alamo Drafthouse cinemas and on VOD starting July 11th, 2025.
