Trailer for Open Ocean Horror Flick THE REQUIN Starring Alicia Silverstone and James Tupper

A new trailer has been released for the open ocean horror movie The Requin, starring Alicia Silverstone (Clueless) and James Tupper (Big Little Lies) as a couple who goes on vacation to a resort atop the ocean, only to be swept out to sea with a storm. They’re joined in the small cast by Deirdre O’Connell, Jennifer Mudge, Danny Chung, Kha Mai, and Kameron Hood. The film was written and directed by Le-Van Kiet (Furie).

Here’s the full synopsis:

There’s terror in paradise when Jaelyn (Alicia Silverstone) and Kyle (James Tupper) arrive at a remote seaside villa in Vietnam for a romantic getaway. A torrential storm descends, reducing the villa to little more than a raft and sweeping the young couple out to sea. Suddenly, another danger appears: a school of great white sharks. With her injured husband watching helplessly, Jaelyn must battle the deadly predators alone in this tense thriller that rides an unrelenting wave of fear.

The acting and story seem pretty solid in the film, but the effects are not great, and it pulls you out of the movie a little bit. Hopefully things will be polished a little better in the final project, because this looks like it has potential. Check out the trailer below, and watch The Requin In Theaters, On Demand and Digital on January 28, 2022.
