Deep Blue Sea

1999 Renny Harlin 105 MIN

Researchers on the undersea lab Aquatica have genetically altered the brains of captive sharks to develop a cure for Alzheimer's disease. But there's an unexpected side effect: the sharks got smarter, faster, and more dangerous. After a big storm damages their remote research facility, they must fight for their lives.

HORROR CENTRALITY
40 /100

Deep Blue Sea functions primarily as a sci-fi thriller/creature feature with action elements. It has meaningful horror imagery and fear-driven sequences (shark attacks, claustrophobic setting), but horror is not the core identity of the film.
