“This better work…”
Thrash released on Netflix on April 10th 2026. The survival horror film stars Phoebe Dynevor, Whitney Peak, Alyla Browne, and Djimon Hounsou. It runs for approximately an hour and twenty-five minutes.
After a deadly hurricane hits a small coastal town, the remaining residents are flooded in with no hope of rescue when a group of sharks make it in from the storm.
Here is the trailer:
Thrash has a familiar, but solid enough premise for shark film fans, but does it do enough to be worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…
The Pros:
Doesn’t take too long for the sharks to show up…
There are numerous entries now to the shark genre and usually I find myself anxiously waiting around for the sharks to finally show up. That didn’t happen here. Things got right to the point and the sharks were attacking before I knew it, which was a pro.
There were a few intense moments sprinkled into this as well. I’m a big fan of shark movies and in a lot of ways this reminded me of those weekly shark flicks that used to air on SYFY.
The pros stop here unfortunately…
The Cons:
Terrible acting and so cheesy.
I was so disappointed with this film. There were a few recognizable faces in this and yet the acting was really really bad. There were also so many unbelievable moments in this and the most awkward placing of Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles.”
I think this film tried to copy films like Crawl and Bait (both are fantastic) and failed miserably. There was just never any real sense of suspense. I would have preferred this movie to lean more into a campy, humorous side since it was already so bad, but it took itself seriously also, which didn’t work in its favor…
So am I in or out?
Unfortunately I’m out on this one…
Thrash is a dull shark movie that borrows too much from its predecessors, presenting us with an absurd and disappointing entry to the shark genre.
If you’re looking for a shark movie on Netflix, I’d recommend Under Paris instead.

DON’T TAKE THE JOB…
It was only supposed to be temporary…but when Olivia Crewe accepts a new position that seems too good to be true, she soon discovers that twelve other girls previously had the same job as her. Only none of them lasted for more than thirty days. No notice. Nothing…right before they mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
