2021 ·1h 15m · ★ 4.5 (35)

A shark bite spreads a virus across the globe, turning the world upside down. Deep below the ocean, a group of researchers race against time to find a cure. Something has infected the lab technicians and it’s a race against time to reach the surface with an antidote before they are all killed by themselves and the sharks lurking inside the test pool and outside in the ocean.

Why it matters

A low-budget creature feature that mashes pandemic paranoia with classic shark terror, delivering a claustrophobic, if rough-around-the-edges, survival thriller.

  • Practical shark effects lean into the rubbery charm of ’90s creature flicks, a nod to B-movie nostalgia.
  • Viral outbreak meets oceanic menace taps into our lingering pandemic fears filtered through watery isolation.
  • Fans of DIY horror and micro-budget creature features will appreciate the scrappy ambition despite uneven pacing.
  • Not for those craving slick CGI or narrative polish — but a guilty pleasure for lovers of rubber-suit monsters and contained tension.
