Getting stuck in town as a category 5 (or bigger!) hurricane makes landfall is already terrifying enough. But what if you throw a bunch of hungry sharks into the mix, too? That’s the kind of insanity you can expect from Tommy Wirkola’s disaster flick, Thrash, which is streaming on Netflix now.
Thrash stars Phoebe Dynevor as Lisa, a pregnant woman who becomes trapped in her car as the disaster strikes. Whitne Peak is Dakota, an agoraphobe who must overcome her fear in order to survive the calamity. And Djimon Hounsou is Dale, a marine researcher and shark expert who must race against time to rescue Dakota, his niece. If these people, and there entire community, is to survive, they’ll have to find a way to work together to not only overcome Mother Nature, but a shark feeding frenzy!
I was happy to share a few minutes talking with Dynevor, Peak, and Hounsou about Thrash. I’ve spoken with Hounsou in the past, and once again he’s like the calm of any storm, passionate and soft-spoken as he talked about the film’s commentary on climate change. Dynevor talked about the challenging production, being soaked from head to toe in cramped quarters, and the power of motherhood! Peak talked about how Dakota, and her agoraphobic nature stuck with her even after filming concluded.
