Thrash (2026) is exactly what a survival thriller should be: Tense, atmospheric, and entirely focused on the struggle against the elements. Set during a Category 5 hurricane, the film avoids the "message-heavy" tropes that have plagued recent cinema, instead delivering a straightforward and brutal story about survival in a flooded coastal town. The sound design is the standout feature, creating an oppressive environment where the threat of the sharks is felt long before they are seen. Djimon Hounsou and Phoebe Dynevor give grounded performances that make you care about the outcome, and the decision to keep the runtime short ensures the pace never drags. It’s a rare modern thriller that prioritizes immersion and practical tension over political posturing, making it a highly satisfying watch for fans of the genre.

This is not Crawl. This is not Jaws. This is not Bait. This is just a pale knock-off of either of those more interesting movies. The characters make very little sense, and are not very memorable. The effects are ok, but not anything noteworthy, the direction is flat. This is simply not a very good movie, even though it is well-produced and looks decent. Looking decent is not enough to make a good movie.
