Overview

  • The film follows residents of a South Carolina town as a Category 5 hurricane floods streets and draws sharks into the surge.
  • Critics highlight a brisk sub‑90‑minute runtime and lively set pieces, while noting thin characters and some rough CGI.
  • Coverage points to clear nods to Sam Raimi and frequent comparisons to Alexandre Aja’s Crawl, framing it as a playful B‑movie.
  • Writer‑director Tommy Wirkola (Dead Snow, Violent Night) leads the project, with Phoebe Dynevor, Whitney Peak, and Djimon Hounsou among the cast.
