Heightened Fear In The Area. ⭐️

 Tsunami Sharks 2024 is an English produced movie from Jagged Edge Productions. It is in the silly shark mid budget category that I have just made up. The hyperventilating opening minutes had me crossing my fingers that I was getting a Bait (Bait 2013) rival movie in a city level environment. The city looks a lot like London although they refer to it twice as Rackham. The AI generated Tsunami has a distinctly oily look, so maybe that oil was the secret sauce that attracted sharks to gather post tsunami in such large numbers. The English are, as you would expect unprepared for dealing with sharks but don’t seem overly surprised at their predicament. Australians are much more adept and speedy in solution and know how to heighten the tension. Which to its discredit is not on show here.There are a couple of other detractions that dampened my enthusiasm for this movie as well. The first was a tension less drone of a soundtrack that had little variation to accompany any shift in the drama. The second was the minimally lite sets. On the other hand, the sharks are here on a Sharknado scale and with the same level of ferocity. The shark rendering is very stylised giving us attacks that are unlikely and biologically impossible for our antagonists. No spoilers but the highlight for me was the sharks in a cocktail lounge. It was very much like watching a more tense version of the game ‘The Floor is Lava’.We’ve had sharks in the Seine (Under Paris 2024) so it was inevitable that we would  be getting them in the Thames, ‘I mean Rackham river’.

If you like the concept of flooded domestic environments four of note are, Bait 2013, Swim 2023, Shark Shock 2017, Escape Of Shark 2021.

 

Well This Is Stretching It A Tad.
