Countless shark attack horror movies have flooded the market since Steven Spielberg changed the game with Jaws back in the 1970s, but the reality is that most of them aren’t very good. For every quality shark attack movie like Deep Blue Sea or The Shallows, there are about 100 imitators that have only really served to devalue the entire subgenre in their wake.
But every so often, we get a good one. And Netflix may have one of those on their hands with Under Paris, a shark attack horror movie from French filmmaker Xavier Gens.
Fresh off the just-released action movie Mayhem!, Xavier Gens (Frontiers, Cold Skin) is back this June with Under Paris, and Netflix has unleashed the official trailer this week.
Following in the grand tradition of Jaws, a celebration turns into a PR nightmare when a hungry shark comes to Paris. One shark. A whole lot of tasty humans. That’s how we like it.
In Xavier Gens’ Under Paris, swimming its way onto Netflix on June 5, “Sophia, a brilliant scientist comes to know that a large shark is swimming deep in the river.”
Here’s a bit of a longer plot synopsis for this one…
“Set in Summer 2024, the film unfolds in Paris which is hosting the World Triathlon Championships on the Seine for the first time. Sophia, a brilliant scientist, learns from Mika, a young environmental activist, that a large shark is swimming deep in the river.
To avoid a bloodbath at the heart of the city, they have no choice but to join forces with Adil, the Seine river police commander.”
Bérénice Bejo (The Artist) and Nassim Lyes (Overdose) star.
Watch the shark-infested official trailer for Under Paris below, coming to Netflix on June 5.
