Overview
- Thrash, which began streaming Friday, April 10, brings a shark disaster thriller to Netflix from writer-director Tommy Wirkola.
- The film follows a South Carolina town swamped by a Category 5 hurricane as bull sharks prowl flooded streets, with Phoebe Dynevor, Whitney Peak and Djimon Hounsou leading the cast.
- Reviews are mixed, with outlets like Mashable and /Film calling it a tight, fun B‑movie while The A.V. Club and What’s on Netflix fault thin characters, wobbly tone and limp jokes.
- Critics disagree on the shark visuals, though many single out the production design, tense set pieces and a brisk sub‑90‑minute runtime for keeping the story moving.
- Netflix posted a behind‑the‑scenes video on Saturday showing practical stunt work like window crashes and large water sets, underscoring the film’s emphasis on hands‑on spectacle.
