The ratio of "alpha" to "minnow" when it comes to shark movies is lopsided towards the negative, which means movies like Shark Nightsqueak onto the list for general competency. Vacationers in the Louisiana gulf are attacked by backwoods maniacs who take their Shark Week obsession to the max by attaching cameras to ferocious sharks. It's ridiculous ...
Jaws 2does not earn the distinction of being a sequel that’s better than the original, but competition is thin around these parts. Roy Scheider is back, protecting Amity Island from another Great White shark that starts devouring water skiers and beachgoers. It’s a bit more action-heavy — which cost original director John D. Hancock his position be...
Yes, there are two Deep Blue Sea sequels. Deep Blue Sea 3significantly rebounds after the franchise blemish that is Deep Blue Sea 2, returning to the original’s sharky goodness. Scientists trying to protect Great White sharks on the artificial island of Little Happy encounter mercenaries and bull sharks who threaten their safety — yeah, it’s a full...
Jason Statham versus a 75-foot-long shark from the Mariana Trench? I wish The Megwasn’t dulled to PG-13 and shed some storytelling fat, but as a blockbuster aquatic horror spectacle, The Meg delivers on its 23 million-year-old premise. There’s danger afloat as massive Megalodon chompers attempt to shatter enforced dive cages or underwater research ...
Where Jaws used a mechanical shark and countless other films opted for computer-generated beasts, Open Waterstrives for authenticity by going with real sharks. Filmmaker Chris Kentis and wife slash producer Laura Lau are avid scuba divers and wanted to generate as much natural behavior in the film as possible. That means they also serve as cinemato...

The ticking clock element of 47 Meters Downadds panic to an already frantic underwater escape scene. Mandy Moore and Claire Holt play sisters trapped on the ocean’s floor after a disastrous shark diving expedition, unable to maneuver without attracting finned attention. There’s so much accomplished by using a landscape of aquatic nothingness as two...
You know your movie is good when there’s an LL Cool J song about it. “Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark’s fin” encapsulates the 90s outrageousness of Deep Blue Sea, a movie about genetically enhanced Mako sharks and greedy pharmaceutical failures. A loaded cast fights to escape what their characters created, but not even Samuel L. Jackson can...
Blake Lively goes toe to toe with an imposing finned foe in The Shallows. Jaume Collet-Serra proves he’s one of the most mindful blockbuster filmmakers in the contemporary game, taking only a few locations (rock formation, water, buoy) and elevating the heck out of tension. Factor in Lively’s tremendous work against a CG shark that still looks damn...
Steven Spielberg forever changed the summer blockbuster landscape with the still reigning champ of sharky cinema. Whatever struggles Spielberg faced using his animatronic Great White that didn’t always want to cooperate were well worth the outcome, some $476.5 million later in box office returns. Jaws is a lesson in holding your cards until the per...
