Something in the Water
Fear finds new depths.
Directed by Hayley Easton Street
Produced by Dan Films, StudioCanal UK
A survival thriller that weaponizes a shark attack against a group of women bonded by friendship, trading character depth for visceral tension and body horror.
After lesbian couple Meg and Kayla split following a traumatic homophobic incident, their three friends are intent on mending the rift during the wedding of Lizzie at a paradise resort. But a pre-wedding boat excursion turns to disaster and the wedding breakfast is likely to be the five girls!
