Ahh, summertime. Sun, swimming, and, of course, sharks await in the warmer months. Since Jaws, sharks have permeated the public consciousness as dangerous creatures with a taste for human blood. While that’s not true in reality, director Justin Lee leans into this trend with his new film Maneater from Saban Films.
Check out the full synopsis:
What better place to drown your sorrows than an idyllic island paradise? That was the idea when Jesse’s friends convinced her to not let a broken engagement stand in the way of enjoying her prepaid honeymoon. Their sorrows weren’t the only thing going to drown on their trip, especially with a man-eating shark swimming just below the surface.
Watch the trailer below:
It looks like nasty summer creature feature fun with a CGI shark. Maneater may just stand out from the pack with the gore we see just in the trailer. Fingers crossed for a particularly gross shark film.
Nicky Whelan, Trace Adkins with Jeff Fahey, and Shane West star in Maneater.
Maneater comes to theaters, On Demand, and digital on August 26, 2022
