Plot

Infected sea animals wreck havoc at an aquarium after a hazard turns them into zombies.

Cast

Production

In an interview with Bloody Flicks, screenwriter Marc Gottlieb said he was not on set but that all special effects on the project were CGI. He said writing the script was different from his previous projects because his draft was based on an outline by Michael Varrati instead of his own.[6]

Release

D.C. Douglas and Eva Ceja at the premiere of Aquarium of the Dead.

The film was released in theaters and video on demand on May 21, 2021.[7][8] It was later released on DVD on June 21, 2021.[9]

Reception

Paul Mount at Starburst scored it a 3 out of 5 and said it's "unlikely to make you throw up when you’ve digested it all."[10] Phil Wheat at Nerdly said "if you liked either of Glenn Miller’s zoological zombie films you enjoy this one too."[11]

Paul Lê of Bloody Disgusting called it "hurriedly made" scoring it 1.5 out of 5.[12] Jim McLennan of Film Blitz scored it a C- stating "this is a bit of a disappointment – even with the inevitable Sharknado reference."[13]
