LAND SHARK

Cinemavixion Review

In "Land Shark" (2020), director Siyu Cheng delves into the murky waters of bio-pharmaceutical ambition with a plot centered on Qian Cheng, the head of a drug company. His investment in a remote jungle laboratory aims to harness modified shark genes for a groundbreaking anti-cancer drug. While the premise hints at thrilling scientific discovery and potential horror, the film's execution, as suggested by its modest IMDb rating of 3.8, appears to lean more towards a B-movie adventure. Starring Liqun Luo, Meili Xi, and Tang Xin, the film navigates the ethical and practical challenges of genetic modification in a secluded, dangerous environment. "Land Shark" offers a unique, albeit perhaps uneven, exploration of scientific hubris and the primal forces of nature, making it a curious watch for those intrigued by creature features with a scientific twist.
