2019 ·1h 26m · ★ 4.4 (62)

A fisherman contends with an ocean-borne outbreak that threatens his seaside island community.

Why it matters

A splashy mashup of creature feature and zombie apocalypse that rides the wave of eco-horror anxieties with campy, practical-effect charm.

  • Practical gore and goo-soaked zombie fish deliver old-school creature thrills in a bargain-bin package.
  • Perfect for fans of low-budget, seaside-set horrors who savor enthusiastic DIY spirit over polish.
  • Taps into climate anxiety and human impact on nature, channeling eco-horror’s rising tide without pretense.
  • Not subtle, not slick — a splashy, goofy monster romp that knows it’s a B-movie and leans into it.
