While Nine has been dropping Jaws from screens, and ABC even deleted a reference to sharks from Mad as Hell, Paramount+ is proceeding with a shark movie next week.

The Requin stars Alicia Silverstone and James Tupper, set in Vietnam but shot in the US (horizon tank shots are very obvious).

There’s terror in paradise when Jaelyn (Alicia Silverstone) and Kyle (James Tupper) arrive at a remote seaside villa in Vietnam for a romantic getaway. A torrential storm descends, reducing the villa to little more than a raft and sweeping the young couple out to sea. Suddenly, another danger appears: a school of great white sharks. With her injured husband watching helplessly, Jaelyn must battle the deadly predators alone in this tense thriller that rides an unrelenting wave of fear.

Tuesday February 8 on Paramount+.
