Man-Eating Shark

About This Movie

Man-Eating Shark (2023) offers a gritty take on the classic killer shark narrative, set against a high-seas backdrop. The film starts with a tense atmosphere as the poachers meet a grisly fate, establishing a sense of dread. Then it shifts to five friends celebrating graduation on a yacht, but the mood quickly darkens as the great white shark emerges as an almost vengeful force. The pacing fluctuates, mixing moments of dread with adrenaline-fueled action. What stands out here are the practical effects—some real, some clever CGI—creating a visceral experience. The performances range from earnest to a bit over-the-top, but that fits the film’s vibe. It’s a distinctive entry in the genre that leans into its horror roots while offering some unexpected moments of tension.
