Check out 'Under Paris,' the French shark movie that's being compared to 'Jaws' and 'The Meg.' Will it join your watchlist? Dive into the killer shark horror lurking beneath the streets of Paris!

Netflix's latest sensation, 'Under Paris,' is making a splash in the horror genre, drawing comparisons to iconic films like 'Jaws' and 'The Meg.' The French thriller takes audiences on a heart-pounding ride through the dark and ominous sewer system of Paris, where a monstrous shark lurks, terrorizing the city.

Directed by Xavier Gens, 'Under Paris' doesn't shy away from the classic shark movie tropes but adds its own unique twist to the narrative. While the film may not break new ground, it delivers an entertaining and suspenseful underwater horror experience that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

Despite its thrilling premise, 'Under Paris' faces challenges in maintaining a consistent tone. The storyline delves into the environmental impact of humanity on the shark's behavior and habitat, adding depth to the traditional monster movie formula. With a stellar performance by Bérénice Bejo as the brilliant young scientist Sophia, known for her role in 'The Artist,' the film offers a fresh take on the killer shark genre.

For horror enthusiasts looking for a new adrenaline-filled adventure, 'Under Paris' is a must-watch. With echoes of 'Jaws' and a French twist, this shark-filled spectacle promises to captivate audiences with its blend of suspense, horror, and unexpected twists.
