Beneath the Surface
A young woman survives a great white shark attack, whilst on a family boating vacation, however soon realizes the nightmare is far from over. Those around her can not be trusted, and she must face her demons, if she is to step back in the water.

- Combines primal oceanic dread with intimate psychological horror, exploring survival beyond the physical wound.
- Anchored by a gritty lead performance that sells both vulnerability and fierce determination.
- Practical effects and underwater cinematography evoke the claustrophobia and unpredictability of open water danger.
- For fans of survival horror who want their monster both real and internal—think Jaws meets The Babadook’s emotional depth.
