Dr. Fred Schiller gets promoted after the mysterious mental breakdown and disappearance of his predecessor. The company he works for is developing a simulation experience where people can hook in and experience a kind of "virtual reality" experience in a completely designed world.

But soon Dr. Schiller realizes something very sinister is going on at his company and that he may be in the process of being set-up just like his predecessor.

The German beer, angst, sci-fi will flow when we screen this movie. In this programmer's humble opinion, it is an even better conceptual sci-fi experience than The Matrix!

That's right. The hilarious improv troupe THE RESISTANCE (https://resistancecomedy.com/) returns to live dub yet another Italian exploitation movie. This time we take the waters with THE LAST SHARK/L'ULTIMO SQUALO.

What else can we tell you? If your suspicion is that this is an Italian JAWS rip off, your suspicions are completely correct! This movie was a huge hit in 1981 until Universal and the makers of JAWS sued the Italian moviemakers since almost the entire plot beat for beat was taken from the 1975 hit.
