Rating: R Stars: Hassie Harrison, Jai Courtney, Josh Heuston, Ella Newton, Rob Carlton, Liam Greinke Writer: Nick Lepard Director: Sean Byrne Distributor: IFC/Shudder Release Date: June 6, 2025 (theatrical) There are now enough criminals-obsessed-with-sharks movies for these to qualify as a moderately well-populated subgenre. DANGEROUS ANIMALS emerges at the top of this particular food chain – and even if it were just a serial killer movie, it would still be good. We are introduced to Tucker’s Encounters battered but functioning dive cage boat, moored off a beach on the Australian Gold Coast, the big city in the background. Heather (Ella […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Hiftu Quasem, Lauren Lyle, Natalie Mitson, Nicole Rieko Setsuko, Ellouise Shakespeare-Hart, Gabriel Prevost-Takahashi Writer: Cat Clark Director: Hayley Easton Street Distributor: StudioCanal/Samuel Goldwyn Films Release Date: May 3, 2024 SOMETHING IN THE WATER brings together two genres that aren’t normally mashed together like peanut butter and chocolate.

Rating: R Stars: Josh Lucas, Fernanda Urrejola, Venus Ariel, Carlos Solórzano, Julio César Cedillo, Jorge Jiménez, Omar Chaparro Writer: Boise Esquerra, story, Carlos Cisco Director: Adrian Grünberg Distributor: The Atlantic Release Date: April 28, 2023 THE BLACK DEMON is ostensibly about a megalodon shark terrorizing an American oil drilling station in Mexican waters. It also finds reasonable (given its parameters) ways to tie this to an eco myth about the Aztec rain god Tlaloc.

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Claire Holt, Mandy Moore, Matthew Modine Writers: Johannes Roberts & Ernest Riera Director: Johannes Roberts Distributor: Dimension Films/Entertainment Studios Motion Pictures Release Date: June 16, 2017  The original JAWS is rightly a classic, but since then audiences have learned to be wary of shark movies. SHARKNADO gonzo parody aside, they can be a cheesy bunch, with 2004’s destabilizing OPEN WATER a rare exception. Well, surprise. 47 METERS DOWN has most of the makings of a first-rate horror movie: a plausible set-up, multiple sources of jeopardy, an environment that’s terrifying all on its own, ace special effects and […]Read On »
