Summer for us humans is usually associated with certain facts: sun, heat, holidays… but for those who love cinema, a decisive factor is added, shark movie. Every year the world falls, at least one new movie comes out in the summer ready to tear cinemas to pieces, this year it’s the turn Shark 2: Abyss.

In theaters only from August 3rd, the sequel to the 2018 hit takes us on a new monster adventure, between primeval sharks This Jason Statham as a tasty prey. On this occasion, we decided to choose six shark films to watch, dividing the offer into him and her.

shark movies for him

Without delay, let’s start with the first tip for him. Here is Lorenzo talking to you, and for this section I have selected three films in which aquatic predator he has to deal with one or more tough, brave and even slightly crazy male protagonists who will not rest until the threat is eliminated. Closely related to the opening speech we parry Shark – the first shark (Meg – 2018).

Shark – First shark

Very muscular and pompous, the film begins by introducing a simple context consisting of a few elements useful only to ignite a spark, and develops into a narrative heavily spiced extreme dispute AND explosive action.

An ocean submarine sinks after being attacked by a huge creature believed to be extinct. The task is clearly to save the crew, and then our savior Jason Statham, a specialist in underwater rescue and are ready to intervene to confront the huge prehistoric shark. Why recommend it? Well easy, this is what can be considered clean and pleasant summer funspiced with a dynamic rhythm, the right duration and a fun flavor to enjoy popcorn and cola.

with the flow

Let’s move on to the second, feature film, which at first glance does not seem very spectacular, but it is not: with the flow (“Open Water 2” – “Drift”, 2006). Six friends on the high seas, a yacht, no ladder, no, this is not a joke, this is basically the recipe for this alarming shark movie Based on real history. Dive without lowering the ladder is a trivial but very plausible mistake that anyone can make after a few drinks with friends.

It’s a pity that what begins to seem like a frivolous oversight becomes fatal to the group, resulting in an absolute tragedy. To heighten it all, there is a child on board and this huge aura of realism that haunts you. Constant pressuredifficulties in relationships that exacerbate inconvenience, stress brought to a very high level, and, of course, sharks watching you every moment as you swim in the middle of the ocean, hoping to die of a heart attack before your next meal.

Shark

As the third and last, instead, we come to the absolute progenitor, the cult signed Steven Spielberg that everyone knows: Shark (Jaws-1975). Almost entirely characterized by the presence male charactersthe life of this classic temperament, impregnated with the masculinity of testosterone, the son of an era.

We are in the middle of summer and in a seaside town in New England a lifeless body of a girl was found on the shore, lacerations suggest that this is a large shark. From here the plot of what helped to forge the term is outlined summer blockbuster and is considered a watershed in the history of cinema, as well as a fundamental title in dawn of new hollywood.

The narrative plot is absurdly more intricate than today’s titles, more exploratory, more reasoned, more intense. Garnished with a political allusion that criticizes the incredulous mayor’s penchant for gain, the film in question remains undoubtedly the best of the best in this subgenre, primarily due to directorial excellence, which, for example, shows us the creature only half. through the film, increasing curiosity and working on subtraction to gain control of the textbook’s rhythm.

shark movies for her

Shark Barbie I didn’t find it, so I, Letizia, offer you three thematic films in which some determined women and fearless, they tore out their nails and cursed with a dangerous beast, ready to ruthlessly devour them.
