When a fracking mishap accidentally rips apart the earth’s crust, the resulting hole opens up a gaping underground water way to a vast and mysterious ocean somewhere deep below. Instantly, giant prehistoric sharks begin wending their way upward toward a murky bog in the heart of the Arkansas Bayou. Unfortunately, for a group of female prisoners on a work detail in the swamp, the deadly sharks attack without warning – pinning a hapless group of intended victims in a small deserted cabin in the heart of the wetlands. Death may be the only means of escape!

Why it matters

A gleefully absurd mash-up of women-in-prison grindhouse and prehistoric shark terror that embraces its B-movie DNA with toothy enthusiasm.

Practical effects and cheap CG sharks collide in a swampy setting that’s more murky mood piece than coherent narrative.
Perfect for fans of campy creature features who appreciate the lineage from Roger Corman’s exploitation flicks to SyFy shark schlock.
Delivers a guilty pleasure vibe where the stakes are low but the ridiculousness is sky-high.
Not for those chasing finesse or subtlety, but a solid palate cleanser if you love your horror with a side of nonsense and big teeth.
