The Year of the Shark

A tense, slow-burn eco-horror that uses one predator to explore the uneasy balance between nature and human intrusion.

• A rare European coastal setting that swaps tropical clichés for foggy, gray harbor dread.
• Subtle, grounded scares over cheap thrills — think atmosphere and mounting paranoia, not nonstop chomp-fests.
• For fans of eco-horror and creature features with a moodier, more introspective bent (a distant cousin to Jaws’s suspense, filtered through arthouse sensibilities).
• Practical effects and sound design evoke the unseen menace lurking beneath, making the shark as much a symbol as a threat.
