Thrash (2026)
A South Carolina coastal town is hit by a massive hurricane that destroys the levees and floods the small community of stragglers who didn't leave and now face hungry sharks. The survivors include a pregnant woman, an agoraphobic teen, and a family of foster kids with awful step-parents. They all face rising flood waters and a pack of hungry Bull Sharks that look to feast on the trapped survivors. Thrash is a 2026 creature-feature survival film directed by Tommy Wirkola, best known for the Dead Snow movies. Thrash stars Phoebe Dynevor, Whitney Peak, and Djimon Hounsou. Thrash is a popcorn film that relies on the usual shark tropes and a trapped location all too common in these movies. The effects are decent, but the film has sharks attacking in some over-the-top ways. Djimon Hounsou is the best-known cast member, but he is underutilized and appears to be in the movie to attach his name. Phoebe Dynevor and Whitney Peak are pretty good together as the main characters, while the foster kids and their awful stepdad added a bit of humor. While not a bad film, Thrash is pretty much following in the footsteps of better creature-feature movies such as Crawl and Bait.
