Bait

The premise centers on a group of shoppers caught in a coastal Australian supermarket when a freak tsunami floods the area. As water fills the store, a 12-foot great white shark enters the building, turning a desperate escape into a deadly fight for survival. The confined setting combines the claustrophobia of disaster films with the terror of shark attacks.

Bait was produced with support from Screen Queensland and other local agencies, emphasizing its Australian setting and production. The cast features Xavier Samuel, known for his roles in genre films, alongside Sharni Vinson and Phoebe Tonkin, who have both appeared in Australian television and horror projects. Julian McMahon adds a recognizable presence, contributing to the ensemble's dynamic.

Filmed on location to capture the authenticity of the flooded supermarket environment, Bait uses practical effects and CGI to portray the shark and water sequences. The film’s blend of tsunami disaster and shark horror distinguishes it from other shark attack movies, offering a fresh premise that attracted a cult following among fans of both genres.

Collectors can find Bait on both Blu-ray and DVD formats. These physical releases appeal to genre enthusiasts who value owning a tangible copy of this niche Australian horror film. The availability on multiple formats reflects the film's international reach and ongoing interest from collectors focused on shark and disaster cinema.
