Overview
- The Devil’s Mouth premiered on Prime Video on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, and is now available to stream.
- The film follows a group of post‑college friends who become trapped in a Thai cave system and face a bull shark while trying to escape.
- Critics generally singled out Kathryn Newton’s lead performance as a highlight but described the movie overall as mixed to negative because of uneven pacing and familiar character tropes.
- Reviewers praised the film’s practical cave production design and makeup effects yet frequently criticized the CGI shark and said the PG‑13 constraints blunt the movie’s kills and shock moments.
- The project began as a 2019 Black List screenplay and its straight‑to‑streaming July release, timed to coincide with Shark Week, underscores how mid‑tier genre films are increasingly debuting on platforms rather than in theaters and may test audience appetite for familiar creature‑feature formulas.
