“It’ll change your life. I promise you.” Aura Entertainment has revealed their trailer for Above & Below, yet another new shark movie coming up his year. A new horror thriller mixing sharks and a dangerous drug cartel. Friends embark on a dream vacation of parties and diving, but their trip takes a terrifying turn when criminals attack them at sea. Aura is sending this one to theaters later this month, if anyone wants to see it there. The film stars Laura Marano, Antonio Banderas, Christina Ochoa, Diego Llinás, Timothy V. Murphy, Louis Mandylor, Jess Liaudin, Donncha Tynan, Ryan Bertroche, Ramiro Alonso, Rodrigo Poisón, and Mario Tardón. A routine shark diving excursion off the coast of Mexico spirals into a harrowing fight for survival when a group of divers becomes trapped between ruthless criminals above and circling predators in the depths below. This year we have shark movies Thrash, Deep Water, The Bay, The Devil’s Mouth, but this reminds me most of last year’s Dangerous Animals. Check out the new trailer below.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Jesse V. Johnson’s shark movie Above & Below, from YouTube:
During a Mexican shark dive, 5 friends are ambushed after discovering cartel cocaine. Trapped in a shark cage, Tatiana & Kaley are forced by the cartel to go in & retrieve a bag of drugs on the seafloor. Battling legendary Great White sharks, dwindling air, and armed killers, the survivors mount a brutal fight to outsmart their captors and escape.
