After unleashing chaos with blood-soaked spectacle in Dead Snow and turning festive cheer into brutal action with Violent Night, director Tommy Wirkola seems far from slowing down, stepping once again into the arena of survival horror with something far more primal, far more unforgiving, Thrash, formerly known as Beneath the Storm and Shiver. The film is all set to pull thriller lovers into a relentless edge-of-the-seat ride, diving into a shark-infested nightmare where rising waters do not just drown… they hunt.

So what is Thrash all about? Here’s everything you need to know about Wirkola’s upcoming survival horror.

With its first glimpse on March 12, 2026 already sending chills, Thrash wastes no time dragging its characters into chaos, as a devastating Category 5 hurricane tears through a coastal South Carolina town, trapping a nine-month pregnant woman, Lisa Fields, inside her crashed car.

As the storm surge swallows the streets and water levels keep rising, the nightmare deepens, with sharks circling closer and survival slipping further out of reach. What begins as a fight against nature quickly mutates into something far more brutal, where every movement in the water could be the last.

 With its flood-driven terror and haunting aquatic setting, the film quietly echoes the rising wave of Netflix’s another water-bound horrors, Paris Under Water, set to arrive later in 2026 or beyond.

Meanwhile, as the waves are yet to crash onto the screen and unleash their full fury, here’s a look at the incredible cast that has already sent shivers down the spine with the trailer, even before the storm hits.

Anchoring the film’s most intense survival arc, Lisa Fields, a nine-month pregnant woman trapped inside her crashed car as sharks begin to circle, is brought to life by Phoebe Dynevor. Alongside her, Djimon Hounsou steps in as Dr. Dale Edwards, a marine researcher guiding survivors through the nightmare, while Whitney Peak’s Dakota is forced to confront her fears as the flood invades her world, with the Olsen siblings, Dee, Ron, and Will, trapped inside their submerged home.

Supporting the chaos are Matt Nable, Andrew Lees, Amy Mathews, Elijah Ungvary, Jon Prasida, Sami Afuni, Gemma Dart, Akosia Sabet, Sian Luxford, and Costa D’Angelo, adding to the growing dread, , while also building curiosity around where to watch this upcoming thriller.

Originally planned for a theatrical run, the R-rated survival horror Thrash is all set to take viewers into multiple trapped lives fighting to stay afloat amid a devastating Category 5 hurricane, arriving on Netflix on April 10, 2026. Directed by Tommy Wirkola, the film was primarily shot in Australia, with principal photography taking place at Docklands Studios in Melbourne, where massive water tanks were used to recreate the flooded streets, alongside additional coastal shoots across Victoria to mirror the American South.

To maintain its R-rated intensity, the film uses a hybrid approach, blending animatronics for close, physical shark encounters with CGI for large-scale sequences of predators moving through submerged homes and storm-driven chaos. While early reactions have drawn comparisons to the 2019 hit, Crawl, Thrash expands the scale, replacing confined terror with an entire flooded town where sharks dominate every corner of survival.

Meanwhile, with its trailer alone enough to pull viewers into a deeply unsettling, shark-infested survival nightmare, Thrash seems to promise a relentless, edge-of-the-seat ride when it hits Netflix on April 10, 2026.
