So the first thing that I thought of when I read this comment:

Crossover.

Good point - For zombies, brain activity is reduced to something primal, similar to a shark. But what if these are super-brain-shark zombies.

DEEP BLUE SEA II, anyone?!?!?!?!

I think we have a pitch here, Fortunado.

I currently have Don't Torture a Duckling and Lizard in Woman's Skin next on my Netflix queue. Unfortunately, The Beyond wasn't available, which... Just doesn't make sense to me.

I'll check out The House by the Cemetery too - Thanks for the rec. I honestly thought that his direction was really well done (the shower to the eye-gouging scene was simply beautiful, creepy, and well composed). I thought that Fulci handled his limited budget excellently and balanced the right amount of gore and gratuitous nudity, and wraps things up in a nice bleak ending. It was honestly a 4-star for me.

Depends. I'd imagine that the undead sharks would suffer from the same dead skin issues that human zombies have, so their shark skin would peel, and it would come off on the suckers' lips and its ingestion would most likely spread the zombie virus.
