Maneater
A group of friends on vacation in a seeming island paradise are stalked by an unrelenting great white after an accident leaves them stranded and left for dead.
Why it matters
A relentless shark stalks stranded vacationers in this low-budget survival thriller that leans hard into its B-movie roots.
- A 1990s TV-movie vibe with dated CGI and uneven performances that won’t fool anyone—but might charm fans of campy creature features.
- Practical effects take a backseat to digital sharks, revealing the limits of the budget and tech but preserving a certain schlocky appeal.
- Perfect for viewers who savor the "so bad it’s almost good" tier of shark horror, where the thrills come more from disbelief than dread.
- Lacks the taut tension of classics like *Jaws* or *The Shallows*, but scratches an itch for streaming-era genre throwbacks.
