The year 2026 has been flooded with shark cinema. However, the vast majority of these aquatic thrillers are dead in the water long before the end credits roll. Leading the school as arguably the absolute worst entry of the year is Chum, a movie so aggressively tedious that it makes sitting through a bad wedding feel like a luxury getaway. Warning: Spoilers ahead The Plot The nightmare begins with a picture-perfect destination wedding on the sun-drenched coast of Malta. The champagne flows, vows are exchanged, and the newlyweds attempt to put on a brave face for their guests. The festivities take a quick dive into absurdity. An oversized killer shark crashes the party, stranding the group at sea. When open-water survival against an apex predator seems like the main threat, enter Roy (Jim Klock). Roy is a local fisherman.

And it confirms that the sixth installment leaves the Lambert family’s multi-decade trauma in the rear-view mirror. They are introducing a protagonist with a uniquely dangerous ability.

Gemma and her young daughter (Island Austin) are trying to build a quiet life in Gemma’s childhood home. However, a disturbing encounter reveals a dark gift: Gemma can naturally astrally project into the franchise’s iconic, spirit-filled purgatory.

Let’s be honest: the quest for a signature scent is often a soul-crushing march through a department store haze. Most fragrances are mass-produced to appeal to everyone, which usually results in you smelling exactly like the stranger standing next to you in the elevator. If you’re looking to break the cycle of the mundane, it’s time to seek out the unconventional. Enter Heretic Parfum. Heretic is currently making waves by rejecting the industry’s “pretty” standards in favor of something far more provocative.

The Gateway to the Occult: Discovery Sets. We all know the struggle: you don’t want to drop a small fortune on a full-size bottle only to realize it doesn’t vibe with your chemistry. Heretic solves this with their meticulously curated discovery sets. These aren’t just samples; they are invitations to experiment. The
