‘Beast of War’ Intense First Look Image Pits World War II Soldier Against Great White Shark

Up next from Sting and  Wyrmwood writer/director Kiah Roache-Turner is a shark attack survival movie set in WWII titled Beast of War, and a first look image has arrived ahead of the film’s Fantastic Fest premiere.

The period WWII film is loosely based on real-life events, pitting soldiers against a great white shark, and will be released in theaters and on VOD on October 10.

Beast of War “follows a warship carrying hundreds of Australian soldiers across the Timor Sea to the frontline of WWII. Suddenly, Japanese fighter jets scream out of the sky, and within minutes the ocean becomes a hell of steel, fire, oil, and blood. While a handful of soldiers build a makeshift raft from floating debris as they cling to their lives, their biggest battle is yet to come. In the dark below, the ultimate apex predator — a great white shark — hunts in the wreckage and is drawn to the smell of fresh blood in the water.”

The horror movie stars Joel Nankervis, Mark Coles Smith
