Thrash Review: Netflix's New Shark Disaster Flick Is Exactly What You Want It To Be
SlashFilm • • entertainment
Key Points:
- "Thrash" is a direct-to-Netflix killer shark movie that embraces genre clichés, offering fun and bloody shark attacks despite lacking originality or strong character development.
- The plot centers on a hurricane causing floods that allow a school of bull sharks to invade streets, threatening a group of trapped characters with minimal backstory.
- While the film's sharks lack a tangible presence and some narrative moments feel unearned, the cast's likability and solid effects contribute to an entertaining viewing experience.
- Compared to superior films like Steven Spielberg's "Jaws" or Alexandre Aja's "Crawl," "Thrash" is a less polished but enjoyable shark movie that understands its purpose as a straightforward creature feature.
- The film streams on Netflix starting April 10, 2026, and received a /Film rating of 6 out of 10.
