I admire any filmmaker who dares to swim in the same lane as Spielberg on this subject. Fin flicks are almost a genre unto themselves. There’s an entire ocean of imitators out there. Some are compelling thrillers like _Deep Blue Sea_ and _The Shallows,_ and also entertaining guilty pleasures like _The Meg_ and Under Paris_._\n\n_Thrash_ , the new shark movie that just dropped on Netflix, is definitely in the latter category.\n\n _Thrash_ is written and directed by Tommy Wirkola, a B-movie impresario with a wicked sense of humor who also gave us Nazi zombies in _Dead Snow_ and a badass Santa in _Violent Night_. If you’re looking for intimate drama, he’s not your guy. But if you want over-the-top mayhem served with your popcorn, Wirkola’s got you covered. His movies aren’t very original and don’t make much sense, but they’re as fun as a rickety roller coaster at a low-rent roadside carnival.\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
