Just starting Thrash

Scorchio84 · 20/04/2026 14:12

We’ve just watched Thrash! Very cheesy and predictable, but a good watch all the same Grin

Just watching this now.

Years ago a friend of mine dropped some acid and went to see Jaws. The next night he did it again. Nice bloke though.

Ooh anyone else watching Thrash on Netflix?

Not bad, back to a classic, campy flooding related shark movie!

I also watched it today Grin

I quite enjoyed it

afrikat · 10/04/2026 21:15

Looking forward to this one! Saw the guardian gave it one star, which weirdly makes me even more excited 🤣

I've literally just finished it. Loved it. Usual, over-the-top, cheesy shark film.

Jaysus @afrikat that's pretty steep isn't it? Thanks though

No @afrikat do you know where it's on?

afrikat · 14/10/2025 22:41

Hereforthedramaz · 14/10/2025 20:00

Meh!

relatively light on the shark action, I think they have tried to make it a “real” movie with proper themes but I like my shark movies hammy and frankly insane!

Show quote history

Haha same

Looking forward to Beast of War, anyone else seen that?

Hereforthedramaz · 14/10/2025 20:00

Wideawakeandconfused · 14/10/2025 19:57

Ooh has Prime suggested Fear Below to anyone else?

sharks + 1930s gangster = I’m in!

so far ok but I haven’t seen the sharks yet!

My OH & I went on Friday just gone.. we'd already seen it (twice!) about two years ago as part of a nostalgia season in one of the cinemas in town but yeah seeing it on the big screen is something else!

I hope you both have a great time @afrikat it truly is a film for the ages

afrikat · 02/09/2025 22:00

Anyone else going to see Jaws at the cinema? Got tickets booked for Friday night with my 11yo, its his favourite film 🦈
