Tommy Wirkola wrote the script and directed the film, multiple reports indicate. The film stars Phoebe Dynevor and Djimon Hounsou in central roles, according to multiple reports. The film is about a category 5 hurricane that destroys a coastal town and sharks that come into the town with a storm surge, multiple reports say.

The director also posted on social media about fighting sharks, according to NRK Nyheter.

Critical reception has been mixed. The Hollywood Reporter reports that the film falls into the category 'potentially fantastic, but probably completely terrible.' However, the American author Stephen King writes on his X account that a quote from director Tommy Wirkola's latest film 'Thrash' is the best he has heard so far this year. According to NRK Nyheter, nettavisen described the film as a guaranteed classic. The exact box office or viewership revenue for 'Thrash' has not been disclosed, and critical reviews or ratings from major film critics beyond these assessments remain unclear. How the viewership of 'Thrash' compares to other Netflix originals released around the same time is also not confirmed.
A guaranteed classic?
Mommy's got to fight some fucking sharks.
