Thrash

A hurricane floods a coastal town and the water arrives full of sharks, a premise that states its terms up front and gets straight to business. The film wrings its tension from a simple, effective vice: the water keeps rising, the high ground keeps shrinking, and the thing circling below is hungrier than the storm. If the flood doesn't kill you, warns the tagline, cheerfully leaving the rest unsaid. At eighty-four minutes there is almost no runway before the chaos starts.

Built for creature-feature fans who want the fun kind of dread rather than a slow-burn character study. Expect an efficient pace, contained set pieces, and the reliable pleasure of watching people problem-solve their way across rooftops. Anyone who enjoys disaster-plus-predator mashups will know exactly what they are getting and probably want it badly. A perfect short, loud watch for a Friday night when the goal is to shout at the screen with friends.
