About Shark Side of the Moon

Decades after a secret Soviet program, researchers engineered nearly invincible sharks and sent them to the moon as a grim deterrent. In the present, a small American team stationed at a lunar outpost must survive when the predators breach the facility. Commander Nicole Tress keeps her crew focused as air, power, and hope leak away under pressure. With limited tools and a shrinking perimeter, they improvise traps, fuse old tech with new tactics, and race to seal the breach before the creatures overrun the base. The story blends brisk action with claustrophobic dread, turning a lunar horizon into a battleground where every decision can mean life or death, without revealing the ending.

Directed by Glenn Campbell and Tammy Klein, Shark Side of the Moon adapts a bold premise with a tiny budget. The project comes from creators Ryan Ebert and Anna Rasmussen and leans into practical effects and fast pacing.

Critics note the lean running time and brisk tempo, with focus on survival and human dynamics under stress. The film raises questions about leadership under isolation, the ethics of dangerous experiments, and what people do when hope is scarce.
