Why We Can’t Get Enough of Shark Thrillers
There’s something about shark movies that keeps us coming back for more. Maybe it’s the vastness of the ocean, the suspense of the unknown, or that chilling moment when fun turns into a fight for survival. Whatever the reason, shark thrillers never fail to grip audiences—and this month, Lionsgate Play is serving Filipinos two new reasons to hold their breath.
Partnering with PLDT Home, Smart, and Cignal Super, Lionsgate Play brings the ultimate shark double feature straight to your screen: Dangerous Animals and No Way Up.
Dangerous Animals: When the Real Monster Isn’t in the Water
What starts as a thrill-seeking shark cage dive quickly spirals into horror. Dangerous Animals follows Zephyr (Hassie Harrison), a free-spirited drifter trapped on a boat run by Tucker (Jai Courtney)—an unhinged captain who secretly feeds tourists to sharks for his own twisted experiments.
As Zephyr fights for survival, her friend Moses (Josh Heuston) searches for her, unaware that he’s stepping into the same nightmare.
Director Sean Byrne calls it a fusion of shark horror and serial killer thriller. “We don’t shirk on the shark drama, but it’s not just sharks hunting people. It shines a light on man as the real monster.”
Courtney, who plays Tucker, adds depth to the role by exploring trauma and humanity beneath the villainy. “Hurt people hurt people.”
The result? A bloody, unflinching ride that blurs the line between human evil and nature’s fury.
No Way Up: A Deadly Countdown Beneath the Waves
In No Way Up, a plane crash is just the beginning. A group of survivors—including Ava (Sophie McIntosh), best friends Jed (Jeremias Amoore) and Kyle (Will Attenborough), and grandmother-granddaughter duo Mardy (Phyllis Logan) and Rosa (Grace Nettle)—find themselves trapped inside a sinking jet fuselage.
With oxygen running out, the wreckage sliding deeper, and a shark circling the torn metal, every choice is an impossible one: suffocate, drown, or face the predator in the dark.
Equal parts disaster flick and shark horror, this claustrophobic survival thriller will have you holding your breath until the last frame.
