Netflix Original Movie ‘Thrash’ Is This Year’s Summer Shark Thriller
- On Friday, April 10, 2026, Netflix released the survival thriller "Thrash," which follows residents of Annieville, South Carolina, trapped by a Category 5 hurricane that brings aggressive bull sharks into the flooded town.
- The story follows stranded locals, including agoraphobic Dakota, played by Whitney Peak, and pregnant executive Lisa, portrayed by Phoebe Dynevor, who struggle to survive as floodwaters rise across the coastal town.
- Director Tommy Wirkola mixes practical effects and CGI to depict the disaster, while Djimon Hounsou portrays Dale, a marine researcher and uncle to Dakota who ventures into the storm to save his niece.
- Critics describe the 79-minute film as a "silly, disposable" shark thriller delivering "muted thrills," though the cast earns praise for keeping the energetic B-movie watchable despite its preposterous plotting.
- Thrash joins the ranks of shark survival movies like the 2019 film Crawl and 2012 thriller Bait 3D, aiming to entertain genre fans while exploring disaster-based creature features.
