Megalodon Collection

A collection of megalodon creature features. The first two were by The Asylum and the 3rd by Atomic Blonde Entertainment. Although the storyline is taken up by a different studio in the 3rd movie, "Megalodon: The Frenzy" picks up where "Megalodon Rising" left off, after the attacks on the USS King.
