Shark Bait
A group of friends enjoying a weekend steal a couple of jetskis racing them out to sea, ending up in a horrific head-on collision. They struggle to find a way home with a badly injured friend while from the waters below predators lurk.
Why it matters
A lean, salty survival thriller that pits desperate friends against nature’s most relentless predator with a stripped-down, sun-bleached grit.
- Tight, claustrophobic tension fueled by practical watercraft stunts and genuinely unsettling shark encounters.
- Embodies the classic “man vs. nature” trope with a modern indie edge—think *Open Water* meets *The Shallows,* but rougher around the edges.
- Perfect for fans of minimalist survival horror who appreciate the slow burn of isolation and the creeping dread beneath calm waters.
- While not reinventing the wheel, it delivers enough raw suspense and naturalistic performances to keep your pulse up through its lean 85-minute runtime.
