Bait

• Horror

In a strikingly confined and claustrophobic horror experience, *Bait* transforms the mundane setting of a coastal Australian supermarket into a terrifying fight for survival after a freak tsunami unleashes a series of great white sharks into the flooded aisles. Unlike typical open-water shark thrillers, the film skillfully exploits the psychological tension of being trapped and hunted within a familiar, yet increasingly submerged, environment, fostering a sense of desperate vulnerability. The narrative doesn’t focus on grand-scale heroism, but rather the frantic, desperate attempts of ordinary people to navigate the rising waters and predatory threat, creating a uniquely visceral and chilling spectacle. This isn't a story *about* sharks, but about the primal instinct to survive when stripped of all safety and normalcy.
