SYFY MARCH SATURDAY ORIGINAL MOVIES FEATURE DINOSHARK, FROM CULT MOVIE LEGEND ROGER CORMAN, AND DARK RELIC, STARRING JAMES FRAIN (THE TUDORS)
New York, NY -- February 26, 2010 -- Legendary cult movie producer Roger Corman unleashes a nightmarish half dinosaur-half shark onto a resort area and James Frain (The Tudors) portrays a knight battling a murderous demon in Syfy's March Saturday Original Movies.
In Dinoshark, airing Saturday, March 13, at 9PM (ET/PT), a lush Mexico vacation spot is terrorized by a mysterious prehistoric creature no one believes exists, except a young fishing boat captain (Eric Balfour, 24, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre). To prevent a bloodbath, the captain must stop "Dinoshark" before it invades an inland waterway full of pleasure boats and swimmers. Dinoshark is produced by Roger Corman and Julie Corman.
Roger Corman, who received an Honorary 2010 Oscar, is the legendary director and producer of numerous low-budget cult classics, among them It Conquered the World, Teenage Doll, The Little Shop of Horrors, House of Usher, Pit and the Pendulum, Premature Burial, The Raven, The Masque of the Red Death, The Wild Angels and The Trip.
Corman is also credited with opening the door to a number of young filmmakers including Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, James Cameron, Jonathan Demme and Ron Howard.
Airing Saturday, March 27, at 9PM (ET/PT), Dark Relic stars Frain as a battle-weary warrior leading his men home after years of fighting. But the Holy Relic he's carrying contains a terrible curse, which frees a bloodthirsty demon. Sir Gregory (Frain) and some unlikely allies confront this scourge from Hell to stop the spread of an unspeakable evil. Dark Relic is a production of Battle Productions, LLC.
