A fun shark thriller movie is airing on TV tonight

You may have missed this tense survival thriller during its cinema release.

The movie follows exes Kayla (Natalie Mitson) and Meg (Hiftu Quasem), who are reunited at a destination wedding in the Caribbean, at which their friend Lizzie (Lauren Lyle) is the bride.

The day before the wedding, the trio - alongside party girl and Lizzie's soon-to-be-sister-in-law Cam (Nicole Rieko Setsuko) and the friends' more cautious pal Ruth (Ellouise Shakespeare-Hart) - decide to take a shabby little motor boat and venture to an idyllic nearby island off the beaten track.

While there, however, disaster strikes and the group becomes stranded at sea, far from the coast, in shark-infested waters.

Featuring relatable characters who get way in over their heads in a truly frightening situation, Something in the Water will have viewers wondering what they would do amid the same circumstances.

As the group's situation becomes more dire and they begin to get picked off one by one by sharks, they quickly descend into bickering and blame games.

While this in-fighting does get tiring, especially as there are long scenes in which no sea creatures appear, the movie does close with a tense-as-hell and emotionally satisfying last act, which is all the more taut because the viewer is truly not sure if the characters they like will still be breathing by the end credits.

Something in the Water is airing on TV tonight on BBC One at 11.25pm. The film is also available to rent on Apple TV, Prime Video, Rakuten TV and the Sky Store.
