Great White
A sea plane is destroyed in a freak accident, five people find themselves drifting on a raft. At the mercy of the tide and with no hope of rescue, the helpless situation takes a horrifying turn when they are terrorized by a ravenous great white.
Why it matters
A lean survival thriller that taps into primal fears of isolation and nature’s indifference, despite its predictable beats and uneven character logic.
- Delivers tense open-water dread with sun-bleached visuals and claustrophobic raft scenes.
- Shark attacks lean heavily on CGI, lacking the visceral snap of practical effects but still serviceable for streaming audiences.
- Character archetypes and melodrama undercut suspense but offer fodder for fans of character-driven survival horror.
- For viewers who crave shark-centric terror without the legacy of *Jaws* looming too large.
