Swim (2021)
A family renting a beach house for the summer faces a deadly hurricane that threatens to trap them inside as the storm damage results in a deadly shark preying on them. While these events play out, the father drives through the storm, hoping he won't miss dinner. With a scenic location and good-looking cast, Swim certainly does not look like the usual Asylum release. Despite this, the plot pretty much follows the same premise as nearly a dozen other shark movies, with the beach house setting being the only original idea. Joey Lawrence is top-billed, but he is mainly seen in random parts of the film as the absurd premise comes across. The only saving grace is the mother, portrayed by television actress Jennifer Field, who carries most of the movie until Mr. Lawrence sails in on a kayak. As with most other Asylum movies, the film features a shark doing impossible things, but these movies are never about factual shark behavior and are more about attractive swimsuit-clad folk in peril.
