Netflix is swimming with sharks in Thrash, a brand new thriller joining the streaming service on April 10.
In Thrash, “When a Category 5 hurricane decimates a coastal town, the storm surge brings devastation, chaos…and something far more frightening: hungry sharks.”
This clip, provided by DailyDead, drops us into the middle of the storm where a truck driver is gobbled up by a shark before attacking a bystander. There’s a ton of action and plenty of red water.
If you needed another incentive to watch, here it is: Thrash was directed by none other than Norwegian filmmaker Tommy Wirkola, responsible for a handful of wonderfully fun films, including Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Dead Snow, and Violent Night.
“I became obsessed with sharks after Jaws—and Jaws 2, which is an underrated movie,” said Wirkola. “I spent a lot of my childhood obsessing over sharks and whatever movie was made about that subject. Fast forward to a world going off its rails when it comes to global warming and flash floods happening everywhere, and it dawned on me that this could be a great setting-off point for a movie, combining the idea of a disaster-movie with a shark-thriller.”
