If you thought a Category 5 hurricane was the worst thing that could hit a coastal town, you clearly haven’t seen Tommy Wirkola’s horror-fest. Thrash (formerly known as Beneath the Storm and Shiver) is officially out today, April 10, 2026, on Netflix.
The director behind Nazi-zombie gore-fests Dead Snow and festive beat-em-up Violent Night is trading snow for saltwater, and the result is a high-tension shark attack movie that makes Crawl look like a trip to the aquarium.
The Forecast: 100% Chance of Carnage
Thrash takes a simple, terrifying premise and turns the volume up to eleven. When a massive hurricane decimates a small South Carolina town, the resulting floodwaters bring in a pack of hungry sharks.
The Cast
This action-packed, edge-of-your-seat fight for survival stars Phoebe Dynevor (Bridgerton), Whitney Peak (Gossip Girl), and Djimon Hounsou (A Quiet Place: Part II)
Real Science, Unreal Tension
Producer Adam McKay (The Big Short, Don’t Look Up) isn’t just here for the jump scares. He’s leaning into the uncomfortable reality of climate change.
“More and more, you’re hearing marine biologists acknowledge that climate is changing where these sharks go,” McKay noted. “In as much as this is an edge-of-your-seat popcorn film, the science behind it is not implausible.”
Wirkola combines this “grounded” disaster feel with his signature “comedy of misfortune” and practical gore.

Dive into Thrash, available right now. Just a heads-up: it’s rated R for “bloody violent content and language,” so maybe don’t watch it with the kiddos, unless you want them to be afraid of the bathtub for the next decade.
