2020 ·1h 42m · ★ 4.9 (116)

A team of Arctic geologists stumble across an abandoned laboratory in which the Nazis developed an incredible and brutal secret weapon during the final months of WW2. Deep in the ice, they accidentally awake a deadly army of flying zombie sharks ridden by genetically mutated, undead super-humans, who are unleashed into the skies, wreaking their bloodthirsty revenge on any aircraft that takes to the air. An elite task force is assembled to take on this deadly threat and stop the Sky Sharks from conquering the air, but as time runs out, the task force realises they will have to fight fire with fire, and the stage is set for the greatest flying super-mutant zombie shark air battle the world has ever seen....

Why it matters

A gleefully gonzo mashup of Nazi mad science, undead sky predators, and B-movie excess that delivers pure schlock horror mayhem.

  • Practical effects and creature design lean into delightfully cheesy animatronics and rubber suits, a love letter to ’80s monster madness.
  • Fans of over-the-top gore and absurd genre mashups will find a campy cult hit that never takes itself seriously.
  • Taps into the cult subgenre of Nazi horror with a twist—flying zombie sharks—pushing historical nightmare fuel into absurd pulp territory.
  • Not for those seeking subtlety or narrative coherence, but a perfect midnight-movie fix for viewers who savor gleefully bad taste and unapologetic gore.
