The Requin (2022)
What was supposed to be a romantic getaway in Vietnam turns deadly when a tropical storm sweeps Jaelyn (Alicia Silverstone) and Kyle’s (James Tupper) villa out to sea. But getting trapped on a makeshift raft with an injured husband is unfortunately not the end of Jaelyn’s worries: A school of hungry sharks is slowly closing in, waiting for the kill. With every passing moment, the stakes rise in Jaelyn’s desperate struggle to stay alive.
Jersey Shore Shark Attack (2012)
A Fourth of July weekend on the Jersey Shore descends into chaos when underwater drilling for a new park disturbs a horde of prehistoric sharks. What was meant to be a weekend for celebration turns into a bloodbath as the predators attack the crowded Miami Beach. A group of friends, reminiscent of the iconic MTV Jersey Shore cast, must band together to battle the swarm of deadly sharks and survive the carnage.
Open Water (2003)
Based on the harrowing true story of Tom and Eileen Lonergan, Open Water will make anyone think twice about booking those diving escapades. Daniel (Daniel Travis) and Susan (Blanchard Ryan) are finally embarking on their long-awaited scuba-diving vacation in the Caribbean. During an expedition, the couple accidentally gets left behind in shark-infested waters. Open Water captures the couple’s desperate struggle for survival as hope dwindles with every passing minute.
Open Water 2: Adrift (2006)
In Open Water 2: Adrift, a fun weekend yacht trip for a group of friends quickly turns into a nightmare. After jumping into the water for a refreshing swim, the group realizes they’ve forgotten to lower the boat ladder, leaving them stranded in the open sea. As panic and desperation set in, the friends must confront their fears and fight for survival. While lacking in the visceral thrills of predator attacks, Adrift delivers a more profound terror: isolation and vulnerability of humans left to fend for themselves in an unforgiving ocean.
Piranha 3D (2010)
Spring break turns bloody in Piranha 3D after a small earthquake in Arizona releases hundreds of prehistoric man-eating fish into Lake Victoria. As the ravenous piranhas go on a feeding frenzy, an unlikely group of strangers band together to find a way to stop them before everyone becomes fish food. Piranha 3D is a thrilling remake of the 1978 classic Piranha and cranks up the gore as the fourth movie in the Piranha film series.
