In 2013, the creature feature sub-genre took a surprising turn with the release of Sharknado. This $2 million shark epic pushed the boundaries of what a creature feature horror could be. Since then, films like The Meg (2018) and Meg 2: The Trench (2023) have found success at the box office, but even a decade later, Sharknado still outshines them all.
According to Bloody Disgusting (via THR), Sharknado is now celebrating its 10th anniversary with a two-night theatrical release. It’s the perfect way to honor this beloved shark thriller. And what’s a horror summer without a lineup of films ready to take a bite out of the competition?
When you compare Sharknado to its current competition, like the poorly received Meg 2: The Trench with its 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s clear that Sharknado stands alone. With a solid 74% score, Sharknado has maintained its popularity over the years. Now, with its re-release in theaters on August 15 and 16, it’s bound to attract even more interest and solidify its status as a fan favorite.
It’s worth noting that the franchise, despite its influx of sequels, has its fair share of ridiculousness. However, there’s no denying that Sharknado became a viral sensation, generating enough memes and staying power to remain part of pop culture discussions for years to come.
