Trailer For Netflix's THRASH Unleashes Shark-Filled Hurricane Chaos From the Director of VIOLENT NIGHT
Shark movies have tried a lot of wild ideas over the years. We’ve seen them rule the ocean and even spin through tornadoes. But what about sharks swimming through your living room? That’s the ridiculous and kind of awesome premise at the center of Thrash, a new Netflix disaster thriller from Tommy Wirkola, the director of Violent Night.
Netflix has released the first trailer for the movie, and it looks like a storm-fueled creature feature that leans hard into the chaos.
The story kicks off when a massive hurricane slams into a coastal town and unleashes catastrophic flooding. The water doesn’t just swallow streets and homes. It also brings something far worse with it.
Sharks from the nearby ocean get swept inland, turning neighborhoods into hunting grounds as they glide through submerged houses, cars, and anything else caught in the rising tide.
Of course, there’s also a pregnant woman that finds herself fighting for the life of herself and her unborn child.
The film stars Phoebe Dynevor from Bridgerton, Whitney Peak from Gossip Girl, and Djimon Hounsou from Guardians of the Galaxy. The trailer gives a taste of the survival chaos as characters scramble through flooded homes and streets while sharks circle in the murky water.
This project has been floating around Hollywood for a while. Back in 2024, Sony planned to release the film under the title Beneath the Storm. Since then the movie has bounced through a few changes including a new distributor and a new name. Now it has officially found a home at Netflix, where it will debut as Thrash on April 10.
The movie also brings to mind the 2019 thriller Crawl directed by Alexandre Aja, which trapped characters in a hurricane with hungry alligators. That scenario had a touch more realism since alligators are known to wander onto land during floods. Sharks roaming suburban streets is a different story entirely.
Still, the fun of a movie like Thrash comes down to tone. If it knows how absurd the concept is and leans into it while still delivering real tension, it could be a blast.
We’ll find out soon enough when Thrash hits Netflix on April 10.
