Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Shark, A Poe-Like take on Jaws

What if Edgar Allan Poe did a shark story? What if Robert Louis Stevenson did a shark story? That's what we have today...Peter Benchley be damned! A film we have all demanded has finally been made...and shark cinema will never be the same. Our feature today is 2025's "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Shark," directed by Brett McCormick (aka Max Raven).

So sad is Henry Jekyll (Randy Clower) that he has dug up his wife's corpse and put it in the basement. Now only skeletal remains, Henry continues having sex with it and talks to it regularly.  The insaniac is convinced Lenore, the wife, is still alive. His best friend, Chambers (Josh Martin), comes over to convince him to seek psychological help...which Henry denies he needs.  His sister-in-law (Victoria Chaney) hires a private eye (Tom Fegan) to investigate Henry after Lenore's grave was desecrated. Along comes sultry pharmaceutical rep, Barbie (Dani Bliss). She wants sex with Henry, but he won't because he thinks he still has a wife. Barbie gives him a new product, Sharcopine...it helps lengthen his life, tally-whacker, too, and makes him more virile, vigorous, and potent. He takes one, eats Barbie's face off, then goes out on the prowl as now he is shark-man! 

The pills make him shark-man and this will not be good for his sister-in-law and a few of the town skanks. The private eye is eager to get into Henry's villa and prove that he dug his wife up from the cemetery.  Henry is sad and whenever he takes a Sharcopine pill, he eats someone's face off, usually a dame. Now as Henry gets more and more insane, the walls are closing in. His paranoia is making him see everyone as an enemy, thus driving him to take his new pills and turn into shark-man more often. The carnage increases and so does the blood and gore.

Will the Sharcopine eventually cause Henry to eat his wife's corpse?  Will this film bring grave-robbing and pining for lost loves back into cinematic fashion? Is this the story Peter Benchley wanted to write but was prevented from doing so when his publisher moved his deadline up for Jaws? See "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Shark" and enjoy true horror poetry.
