Quote:

Set years after the polar ice caps have melted and the sea levels have risen, the story centers on a group of survivors at sea searching for a new home. Their prayers are answered with the discovery of an inhabitable town until, that is, they encounter a new nightmare living just below the water’s surface.

I'm always down for new aquatic horror.

Sounds familiar...

There's already a movie called, "The Thaw" and seems similar.

Yes, I was able to see it on Tubi TV, it was a decent parasitic infection horror film and reminds me a little bit of The Thing, being set in the colder, isolated climate zone.

@Zivouhr Yes I agree. I kind of liked it for what it was. Val kilmer ruined for me though.

Can't wait for this.

So this is gonna be one of those "not what it's about, but HOW it's about" kind of movie. The story sounds very derivative, but maybe it'll work inspite of that.

I initially was thinking it was going to be a parody of Saw but with Samuel L. Jackson.

Always love a good aquatic monster movie. There was supposed to be another one in production called Don’t Go In The Water, but I haven’t heard anything in two years or more.

Isn't he in Spiral already?

Ocean monsters unfrozen from ancient times it sounds like. Interesting. Will be tough to top The Thing.

Thanks. It has its good points for a parasite film.
His role in The Thaw was a cameo almost. Very small role. I was hoping he would be the main hero character.
