What to Know

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.

Ben Travis Empire Magazine Apr 20
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

1/4
Lots of unforgivable things happen in Thrash, none of which involve the sharks, who are righteous in their appetite. Go to Full Review

Midnite Oil F @CosmicCan 22h Human characters were one-note and boring. Waited for the Sharks to entertain and the kills were few and far between. Had to tread too much water to get to the good parts. More like "Trash." See more Zachary A @Scoobyjew420 Jun 19 This incredibly interesting movie is completely a waste of time, I think I'd rather use testicular torture on my self a thousand times then watch this movie again, worst CGI I've ever seen, the money spent on this movie would be better off going to a old lonely 90 year old man who spends all his money on prostitutes or better yet go to a charity saving kids lifes instead of making me want to end mine .do yourself a favour and never watch this utter piece of dog sh#t.I made an account just to make sure everyone knows that this movie is worse than those sh#tty Bollywood movies See more Sunil A @Imthescatman Jun 19 You know those films that are so bad that they are actually good?? Well this is not one of them. I prayed that one of the awful CGI sharks actually burst the TV and eat me alive than watch this absolute drivel. Do yourself and your loved ones a favour, do not even attempt to watch, in fact just cancel your netflix subscription so that it never darkens your screens again See more Jade W. @giveemsomethingto_jade Jun 15 Who knew Nellie would be the hero of our story See more Lacy J @RT5670933246 Jun 14 I think one of the worst films I’ve ever watched. See more Amber B. @movieswamber Jun 11 Some good action in it and shot well but was lacking in character building and resolve. Honestly for what it is I’m not expecting the most realistic movie but I wish the characters just had a bit more meat on their backstories. See more Read all reviews
