Overview
- Thrash is now streaming on Netflix, telling a survival story in a South Carolina town flooded by a Category 5 hurricane that sweeps sharks into the streets and homes.
- Phoebe Dynevor, Djimon Hounsou, and Whitney Peak lead the cast under writer-director Tommy Wirkola, with producer Adam McKay involved.
- The cast says the film treats the shark threat as a climate story with grounded characters rather than campy spectacle.
- Critics at Polygon and TheWrap call the movie energetic and more fun than scary, pointing to wobbly tone, hit-or-miss visual effects, and limited suspense.
- Reviewers note the movie was first aimed at theaters and runs about 79 minutes of actual story time, a setup they say helps explain crisper visuals despite some rough CG shots.
