Thanks to Netflix, it has finally happened — we got a solid, mid-range, shark-attack movie! It's a subgenre with a considerable following but a historically inconsistent output. Jaws put sharks on the map, then 20 years of cheap B-movies came before Deep Blue Sea brought them firmly into the '90s. Open Water was more of a survival-thriller outlier, and it was followed The Shallows and The Meg, which shook things up a little in the 21st century. Punctuating these main players were long stretches of very low-budget, low-quality shark movies, the sort that the SyFy channel would go on to become known for. Pitting a giant shark — or a giant mutated shark — against an equally giant and mutated sea creature became a staple of such fare.
