Considering that this genre has such a large following, Koimoi lists down five shark films that you can binge-watch for a thrilling, yet thoroughly entertaining weekend. Read on:
Jaws
You can’t write about a shark film, and not mention Jaws. This Steven Spielberg directorial had released in 1975 and had received a thunderous response. The film revolves around a dreaded great white shark that attacks beachgoers at a summer resort town, thus resulting in a hunt operation involving a police chief, a marine biologist and a professional shark hunter. The film had won three Academy Awards and is a highly recommended film if you are a fan of this genre.
Deep Blue Sea
Another gem in this genre is Renny Harlin’s 1999 science fiction horror film, Deep Blue Sea. The film revolves around a team of scientists who are researching on mako sharks to help fight Alzheimer’s disease. However, the situation worsens when multiple genetically engineered sharks go on an attack spree thus flooding their facility. The film features Saffron Burrows, Thomas Jane, Michael Rapaport and our very own Avengers actor Samuel L. Jackson. Watch it if you seek some edge on the seat moments this weekend.
