AceShowbiz - The new thriller Thrash starring Phoebe Dynevor is set to debut on Netflix on April 10. Originally developed by Sony Pictures under the titles Beneath the Storm and later Shiver, the film was acquired by Netflix after Sony removed it from their release calendar.
Directed by Tommy Wirkola, known for films like Dead Snow and Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Thrash centers on a coastal town devastated by a Category 5 hurricane. As the storm wreaks havoc, deadly sharks invade the waters, creating a tense and perilous environment.
The cast includes Whitney Peak, Djimon Hounsou, Matt Nable, Andrew Lees, Alyla Browne, Stacy Clausen, Elijah Ungvary, and Dante Ubaldi, alongside Dynevor. In the trailer, Hounsou warns, “Sharks on the loose in the Category 5 storm. Let’s move!”
Dynevor portrays a pregnant woman determined to protect her unborn child amidst the chaos, declaring, "I am not going to have him die before he takes his first breath." The story unfolds over a critical 24-hour period, combining intense natural disaster elements with predatory threats.
Besides directing, Wirkola also wrote the screenplay and produces the film alongside Adam McKay and Kevin Messick. The project’s transition from Sony to Netflix marks a significant shift in its distribution strategy, ensuring wider streaming access.
Dynevor recently appeared in the 2025 films Inheritance and Anniversary, and is known for her role in the Netflix film Fair Play, as well as series like Younger and Bridgerton.
In a recent interview with Collider, Dynevor shared her excitement about Thrash, saying, "It’s big. It’s sharks. It’s hurricanes. It’s all of those things, and I’m a nine-months pregnant lady who has to go through a lot in those 24 hours." This glimpse into the film promises a gripping survival thriller with high stakes and emotional depth.
