What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The characters face both a Category 5 hurricane and sharks moving through flooded streets.
The hurricane inundates a coastal community, turning debris-strewn streets and buildings into shark territory.
The storm's oppressive sound design makes the sharks feel present before they are seen.
Lisa, Dakota, Dr. Dale Edwards, and the other residents must band together to survive the storm and predators.
