After a freak tsunami floods a coastal supermarket, a mixed group of shoppers and staff are left stranded inside with rising water, failing power, and a deadly shark circling the aisles. With tensions and old grudges flaring, they must work together and take risky chances to find a way out before the situation turns even worse.

About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, silly-but-tense shark survival ride in a fresh setting, with some gore and dark humor; Not for you if you need realism, polished effects, or subtle drama like The Dark.

Pros: bonkers premise; tense survival moments; gory shark attacks | Cons: uneven CGI; cheesy dialogue; predictable beats
