14''Sharkenstein'' is a [[HorrorFilms horror movie]] by Mark Polonia.
15
16In the winter of 1942, a German scientist's research was co-opted by The Third Reich for the Furher's own purposes. Of course, the war ended, the Allies won, but the research didn't stop there.
17
18Fast-forward to the present day, and the town of Katman's Cove is now experiencing some rather unfortunate events. For weeks now, beach goers have been disappearing, and the town's had to close the beaches to the public as a result. Three people, Coop (Titus Himmelberger), Skip (James Carolus), and Madge (Greta Volkova) have come to Katman's Cove for some fun in the sun, and take a boat out onto the water.
19
20They decide to swim to an island when something hits the boat, and discover that a former Nazi scientist (Jeff Kirkendal) has created a deadly shark by combining the body parts of several different sharks (including Great White, Hammerhead, and Mako) and is close to completing his experiment.
21
22The film was released on August 16th, 2016.
