Comedy/Horror Mockumentary reveals a murderous grapefruit

In these all too serious times we're living in I think it's great to have a laugh. It helps so much to lift the mood up and to make things easier to bare and take.

So I was happy when this short horror/comedy movie found it's way into my inbox.

While filming Sister Mercy in Los Angeles, California last week, production assistant Noah "Shark" Robertson created a short film entitled 'Murderous Grapefruit'. The idea sprouted from the on-set, inside jokes between the crew and cast. A large grapefruit tree inhabited the house where shooting was taking place, and grapefruits were soon wreaking havoc on various members of the Sister Mercy team.



Sister Mercy is the new upcoming thriller from director, William Boodell, which is currently in post-production. Boodell is known for his work on Born of Sin (2017), 40 Days and Nights (2012) and Rise of the Zombies (2012); he also edited Sharknado!

Robertson, previously known for his work as a drummer in bands such as The Browning and Motograter, has stepped into the comedy arena in 2018. This year he directed the short film 'Shower Sharks' and embarked on a Comedy Tour. Robertson made his Comedy Store debut in Hollywood, California on June 4th.

Shower Sharks coming to a bathroom near you

In these all too hard times we're living in having a laugh is great. Here is a little preview of a horror/comedy short film that is currently in the works by musician Noah "Shark" Robertson, known as drummer of bands such as Motograter and The Browning and founder of Zombie Shark Records and Swimming with Sharks Records. It comes around a bit funny and slightly scary so it made me curious about what is coming up there.

Shower Sharks synopsis:

Noah, a shark-obsessed, struggling musician, has begun writing a screenplay for a low-budget feature film entitled, Shark Slayer. Scrambling to complete his script, his town of Surf Beach, California is turned upside down when news spreads of a small, unknown species of aggressive shark making its way up shower drains and attacking people while they are bathing. Noah remains skeptical, until he comes face to face with the menacing monsters himself. Will he complete his epic masterpiece, or succumb to the peril of the Shower Sharks?

Until 7nd of May 2018 a GoFundMe Campaign is running that let's you pre-order a copy of Shower Sharks as DVD. 15 Dollars a copy are asked for to cover the costs of finishing the movie, printing it on Digital Versatile Discs as well as submitting it to proper festivals. The film is slated to hit horror movie festivals in October of 2018 .If you order you'll have your name in the credits and will get a signed copy on DVD with bonus material.

As for me this looks cool because low budget often means you have to work around stuff and things and can not rely on special effcts alone. That can end up in something different compared to mass market releases. Finally: how will the soundtrack turn out like? Well let's keep a eye on the Facebook page of Noah "Shark" Robertson to keep up to date about what's going on in the Shower Sharks camp.
