Critics Consensus

Treading water between gnarly kills, Thrash dishes some old-fashioned jolts but would've had more bite if its human characters were more compelling chum.

2/5
More shallow than The Shallows, and lacking the depth of even Deep Blue Sea, this has chuckle-worthy moments but will be forgotten roughly 47 metres down in the lower-echelons of shark cinema. Go to Full Review
David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter Apr 14
Nothing in Thrash is going to wow Steven Spielberg, and its adherence to plot logic is elastic to say the least. But as bloody, dumb shark thrillers go, it stays afloat. Go to Full Review
Owen Gleiberman Variety Apr 14
This is a Netflix and Chomp movie, just 80 minutes long (if you don’t count the closing credits), and the compact run time does more than keep “Thrash” from wearing out its welcome. Go to Full Review

3/5
While we've seen almost all of this before there are enough well-timed scares to hold the interest even when things get silly. Go to Full Review
Connor Petrey Pop Culture Leftovers May 17
It’s short, so even with the major faults within, this is an entertaining and captivating disaster movie that happens to have sharks… and the third act truly goes insane. Go to Full Review

Lots of unforgivable things happen in Thrash, none of which involve the sharks, who are righteous in their appetite. Go to Full Review

Goose R. @rodrigug 17h This survival shark movie is a wild ride! A massive storm hits the fictional town, flooding it and leaving sharks to roam. Stranded people must band together to survive. The story weaves together two different narratives, and the special effects are truly impressive. 🍿🍿🍿🍿/5 on Netflix See more Greg R @RT11141508 2d I like bad monster movies. Santa Jaws is hilarious. But bad monster movies can’t take themselves seriously. This took itself waaaay too seriously and was pretty boring with a predictable story. There were a few really dumb plot holes too — lazy writing. It wasn’t a fun, over the top shark movie — it was just, plain dumb. I regret not turning this off 30 minutes in, when it was clear it wasn’t going to get any better. See more Kyle T @RT17651730 May 24 It’s a great movie with nice acting, and I also really like that they used bull sharks as the enemy, as those are the most aggressive kind of shark and therefore most likely to attack humans. The whole movie had me sitting in suspense, wondering what would happen next. My only problem with it is that we didn’t really get to know what happened to the 3 kids. See more Anthony Z. @RT43606255 May 24 I personally really enjoyed this movie I thought it would be alot more suspenseful I just thought some parts were very predictable or just atleast for me See more Taylor E @RT76692042 May 23 0 common sense and 0 development. It’s a good job it’s only 80 minutes long (excluding credits). Awkward camera moments where things appear then disappear again and inaccurate timelines. The water is at one point up to the roof but in another place it’s not risen at all and the kids can still sit on the tables on the ground floor. The ‘funny’ moments aren’t funny they’re just badly written. 70 minutes of the 80 minute film could have been told in 20 minutes. And the 10 minute ending could have been 30. It felt very rushed and thrown together for a cash grab. See more E J @RT70317985 May 17 Typical fare. Didn't feel scared when the young girl was in the water as you know they never kill the kid with the mental issues. Where has the talent gone in making movies? See more Read all reviews
