Sharktopus vs. Whalewolf is a 2015 American sci-fi horror film directed by Kevin O'Neill and stars Casper Van Dien, Catherine Oxenberg, and Jennifer Wenger. The movie is a sequel to the cult classic B-movie Sharktopus, which first premiered on the Syfy channel in 2010. The plot of the movie revolves around a mad scientist named Dr. Reinhart (Oxenberg), who creates two hybrid creatures in her laboratory - a half-shark, half-octopus monster (Sharktopus) and a half-whale, half-wolf creature (Whalewolf). However, when Dr. Reinhart loses control of her creations, they break free and start wreaking havoc on an unsuspecting coastal town.

Meanwhile, the Navy has enlisted the help of a former officer named Ray Brady (Van Dien), who has experience dealing with Sharktopus. Together with his team of researchers and the aid of the beautiful marine biologist Lorena Christmas (Wenger), they set out to stop Sharktopus and Whalewolf before they can cause any more damage.

The movie boasts some impressive special effects, especially when it comes to the monsters themselves. The Sharktopus creature is an impressive feat of practical effects, with a large rubber suit and animatronic arms that move realistically. The Whalewolf, on the other hand, is mostly created using CGI, but still manages to look convincing on screen.

The acting in the movie is somewhat cheesy, but that is to be expected from a B-movie of this caliber. Van Dien, in particular, hams it up as the grizzled former Navy officer who's seen it all before. Wenger does a decent job as the love interest, but her character is mostly there to provide exposition and look pretty on screen.

The real stars of the show, of course, are the monsters themselves. Sharktopus is a formidable foe, with its octopus tentacles and razor-sharp shark teeth. The Whalewolf, while not as iconic as Sharktopus, is still an interesting creature in its own right. It moves quickly on land, thanks to its wolf legs, but can also swim with ease, thanks to its whale tail.

The movie's pacing is a bit slow at times, but it more than makes up for it with the over-the-top action scenes. There are plenty of moments where Sharktopus and Whalewolf clash with each other, as well as with the humans trying to stop them. The battle scenes are a bit silly, but they're still entertaining to watch.

One of the things that stand out about this movie is its self-awareness. It knows that it's a silly B-movie and doesn't try to be anything more than that. There are plenty of moments where the characters acknowledge the absurdity of the situation they're in, such as when Van Dien's character comments on how he's had enough of dealing with monsters.

In conclusion, Sharktopus vs. Whalewolf is a fun, cheesy B-movie that's perfect for fans of creature features. Its special effects are impressive, and its monsters are unique and entertaining to watch. While the acting may not be top-notch, the movie more than makes up for it with its self-awareness and over-the-top action scenes.

Sharktopus vs. Whalewolf is a 2015 science fiction movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 27 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.1.
