The 5 Best Shark Movies Streaming On Netflix
Are you a huge fan of aquatic horror? Are you one of the people living for the shark renaissance? Or do you just like a little chaos when you Netflix and chill? I know many people are into shark horror movies, but I don’t find them as thrilling because I learned to stay out of the water the first time I watched Jaws as a kid. However, because some of you live more dangerously than me, the shark subgenre is booming.
Unsurprisingly, many Netflix subscribers look to these titles like a kid looking at a candy bar. We figured it was time to help you find all the non-animated shark movies streaming on Netflix. So, grab life your favorite life preserver, and get prepared to swim for your life!
47 Meters Down: Uncaged (2019)
A tale of two sisters’ whose fun little diving adventure takes a turn when they get trapped in a labyrinth among the deadliest shark species. Don’t you hate when that happens? This sequel to the Mandy Moore and Matthew Modine-led 47 Meters Down made a bigger splash among fans of shark films than its predecessor. It also saw John Corbett and Nia Long join this watery universe filled with toothy predators. If you felt the original movie was fishy, you should see if this one holds more water while it is on Netflix.
Deep Fear (2023)
Drug traffickers force a yachtswoman to help them recover their cocaine from shark-infested waters. Is this the spiritual sequel to Cocaine Bear? I doubt it. However, if you can get past the lack of a Cocaine Shark, you might be interested in this title. I am personally invested because it is a British creature feature with a TV-MA rating. Deep Fear does not seem like the others on this list, and I might have to test out the water with this one.
Mako (2021)
A group of businessmen choose to film a documentary on a sunken ship and find trouble. This movie is based on real events, and I have many questions. Another interesting thing that sets Mako (original title: Makoo) apart from the other shark features is that it is an Egyptian horror movie. As someone always seeking out more international and POC-led genre entries, I have to check out this Netflix hidden treasure. Maybe this is the shark movie that makes me an aquatic horror fan.
Meg 2: The Trench (2023)
A research team comes face to face with danger while exploring the depths of the ocean. If you want to see Jason Statham fight more sharks after watching The Meg, today is your lucky day. If seeing Statham get into physical altercations with a giant shark isn’t enough of a draw for you, you may be interested to know Ben Wheatley directed this. So, if you wondered what a Sharksploitation movie would look like coming from the filmmaker behind Kill List and High-Rise, now is your time.
Under Paris (2024)
A grieving scientist faces her tragic past to save Paris from a bloodbath when a shark shows up in the Seine. If you have felt these movies exploring grief could use more sharks, get on this new Netflix movie. From the second I heard about this title, I knew it would make Twitter fun for a few days, and it has. It feels like the kind of ridiculous movie we all need this summer.
Did these five shark movies on Netflix change your plans for the week? Or did you already jump the shark because you are a pro? Let me know either way at @misssharai.
