Critics Consensus

Marrying environmental themes with bloody thrills, this Gallic entry into the shark attack canon ultimately lands on the right side of ridiculous fun.

Linda Holmes

It unfolds like a fairly classy suspense film about a rarely seen threat. It does not look cheap in the way Sharknado did, for instance. It’s quite competently shot and edited, it’s tense, and it’s frightening. In other words, it gets the job done.

Empire Magazine

A solid shark thriller whose admirable but clunky eco-warnings almost get in the way of a good time. Best when it allows itself to really go in-Seine.

Rated: 3/5

Polygon

One of the most substantive of the many aquatic-attack horror movies that have tried to coast along in the wake of Steven Spielberg’s Jaws… But when the inevitable bloodbath starts, Under Paris seems to be cribbing from much messier shark attack movies.

Rated: 42/100

Gone With The Twins

The awkwardness of a CG monstrosity darting around escalates; the movements are terribly amateurish in their designs.

Rated: 5/10

Dumb yet creative, preachy yet thrilling, this horror/disaster movie takes its outlandish premise to all the places that fans of the killer shark genre will appreciate.

There are moments that betray this inevitability, of course, but its tone never hesitates. Played completely straight, no one in this film seems to notice how ridiculous their predicament is.

Watched this tripe on Netflix, the dubbing is atrocious as is the acting. If the people in this film were as dumb as they are they belong in a mental hospital. Would not recommend.

Oh my God this movie is horrendous! I’m about 20 minutes in and already wanna burn my eyes.! If anybody in the city was this stupid then they deserve what they got! The environmentalist saying humans are just as valuable as animals! I wish she would’ve died sooner in the movie! Just a terrible story! I’m rooting for the shark in this one! Bye Mika!!!! You can’t make friends with a 20 foot shark!

This could have been a decent movie. The thing that got in the way was the climate change extremities. The preachiness did more harm than good, but that seems to be the way with movies these days; they forget that people want to be entertained, not lectured.

I don't understand the theme or message of this movie. The first half would have you think it's about common misconceptions with sharks and how they're made out to be monsters when they're not. I had watched the first half of the movie and took a break. I thought it was really good, I appreciated the ocean conservation messages (the scene with the activist girl's video made me cry). Then after the halfway point, in the catacombs, the movie just takes a sharp left turn and becomes another typical and predictable shark movie. Once the activist girl was eaten I stopped taking the movie seriously (even though that was hard to do so in the first place). As someone who loves the ocean and thrives for its conservation, this movie is a joke. I'm genuinely confused if the filmmakers were trying to say that any attempt at ocean conservation is a joke or not. It certainly seems that way.

It starts very slow but by the end of the 2nd act the film shifts into high gear and becomes an insane shark thriller
