The newest shark-attack thriller stars Francesca Eastwood (Queen of the Ring) and follows two finest pals compelled to combat for survival after their tour boat sinks in a shark sanctuary.
The Bay
The movie comes from author/director Phil Volken (Lifeless Sea). “I’ve made a number of movies set on the open sea, and The Bay is the end result of my experiences up to now – with my crack workforce of standard collaborators, the film is finely and expertly honed to maximise the mixed fears of the ocean, the unknown, sharks and in the end, simply how cold-blooded nature could be – particularly human nature,” he stated in an announcement. “I’m delighted with the size and performances we’ve delivered onscreen.

Shark Motion pictures
Though shark motion pictures existed lengthy earlier than Jaws, the large success of Steven Spielberg’s basic helped flip them right into a style all their very own, one which Hollywood has been circling ever since. And actually, who can blame them? There’s one thing irresistibly primal in regards to the concept of being stranded in open water with one thing you may’t motive with slightly below the floor. Sadly, for each scrappy B-movie gem, there are many shark flicks that belong on the backside of the ocean.
This yr alone, our resident shark-attack film fanatic, Tyler Nichols, has already reviewed three entries within the style: Renny Harlin’s Deep Water, Netflix’s Thrash, and Chum, the latter of which he singled out for its dreadful AI-driven VFX.
“Chum makes use of footage of actual sharks, however has a tough time holding the shark kind being proven constant. Then it mixes that actual footage with a few of the most insane FX I’ve ever witnessed,” he wrote in his assessment. “It goes from simply casually mixing footage collectively to a second that feels straight out of the Shark Assault franchise. The filmmakers clearly used AI for its post-production, and it makes each assault look terrible. There’s a wierd floaty high quality to a lot of the victims, and so they appear to simply put their limbs within the shark’s mouth. It could be satisfactory at a look when utilizing the actual shark footage, but it surely goes off the rails when a shark is doing one thing that they don’t have archived footage for.“
