Shark film Deep Fear has been savaged by Netflix viewers.
The survival thriller, which stars Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick, is set in the Caribbean and follows skilled yachtswoman Naomi (Madalina Ghenea) who is on a solo sailing trip but gets into a serious pickle when she comes across three drug traffickers whose boat has been ruined.
She tries to help them out but her kind deed backfires when they force her to help them recover their illegal cargo. It turns out that they had cocaine with them but it sank, so they come up with the idea of forcing her to go diving for it.

There’s an extra twist because a huge shark is circling the boat to make her mission even more dangerous – plus it seems it swallowed some of the drugs so is madder than ever.

Deep Fear was unveiled last year but didn’t make much of a splash. It has now dropped on the streaming service and, while it has risen up the chart, viewers have given it a serious bashing.
“We just started watching this on Netflix and I have never cringed so hard in my life watching a movie,” one unimpressed viewer wrote on X. Another who reviewed the film said it was “astoundingly bad”.

“Oh Netflix do better,” said someone else, asking: “What on earth did I watch?” Another viewer sniped: “Watched Deep Fear last night, never seen such a s*** shark horror movie before, it’s not even about any shark, it’s about getting drugs from a sunken ship by a lady in an oversized red bra.”
“Do not watch Deep Fear in (sic) Netflix,” another viewer advised. “Shorty look good but easily the worst movie I’ve seen this year already.”

“As someone who likes/respects low budget movies, Deep Fear felt like a shark movie parody…” quipped another viewer. “This movie, it’s a waste of time,” warned somebody else.
However, it wasn’t mauled by all viewers, with some saying it was a fun watch. “Deep Fear is one of the best shark movies I’ve ever watched recently, especially after the Meg,” said one, as another viewer declared it was “alright”.
