Anecdotes
Samantha Varga's only role and nude scene as of Jan. 2023. Ron Bonk said Varga, who played Bessie, answered one of the casting calls for the movie saying she had a minor interest in acting. Even after he told her the role required an extended full frontal nude scene, she was all for it, so he cast her. He said she was a lot of fun to work with.

Gaffes
At 50 minutes Abraham throws what appears to be boiling water on Frank and Zachary who are asleep in the tent with their feet close to Abraham. Frank and Zachary respond to the boiling water by shaking their feet/legs. In the next scene both men exhibit burns on their faces not on their feet/legs. At 52:46 the facial burns disappear.

Jaws indoors.

According to Ron Bonk's comedy horror House Shark, herds of sharks used to roam the land in America until they were forced into the sea by hunters, although a few remained. It is one of these last land-dwelling sharks that terrorises homeowner Frank, forcing him out of his house to live in the garden. With the help of house shark expert Zachary (Michael Merchant) and drunken salty sea-dog Abraham (Wes Reid), Frank tries to kill the big fish.

House Shark is, as the title suggests, a dumb movie. No... scratch that. It's a very, very, VERY dumb movie, intentionally so. Unfortunately, Bonk's particular brand of comedy - goofball lunacy with lots of toilet humour - only occasionally hits the mark, with most of the gags floundering like a shark on a Chinese fishing boat. With the film running at nearly two hours long, the silliness gets really tedious, Abraham's drunken drawl proving particularly grating on the nerves.

The special effects range from the barely passable (I quite enjoyed the underwater scene in which things float on clearly visible wires) to the downright terrible (the shark itself looks like it's been made from chicken wire and papier-mâché). The film opens in promisingly trashy fashion with a naked woman pulled down a toilet by the shark, leaving a bloody mess in her wake, but the rest of the film is nudity free, with very little gore.

2.5/10, generously rounded up to 3 for the one line that actually made me laugh: "I don't know how many people died that day. 3....4... maybe none."
