Bait

Plot

In the thrilling horror-comedy film "Bait," a freak tsunami strikes the small coastal town of Wynyard, Australia, causing chaos and destruction in its wake. Amidst the devastation, a group of shoppers finds themselves trapped inside a local supermarket, which has been flooded by the rising waters. As panic sets in, the survivors soon realize that they are not alone in their predicament. A 12-foot great white shark, swept away from the ocean by the tsunami's powerful currents, now lurks in the store's refrigeration units and aisles, its presence a constant reminder of the deadly danger lurking just beneath the surface. Led by the resourceful and quick-thinking manager, Martin (Xavier Samuel), the group must band together to survive the treacherous situation. As they navigate the treacherous waters of their new surroundings, the shoppers must confront their own personal demons and make impossible choices in order to stay alive. As tensions rise and the shark's attacks become more frequent, the survivors begin to turn on each other, revealing hidden secrets and deep-seated fears that threaten to tear them apart. Meanwhile, Martin and his makeshift team of leaders must use all their wits and ingenuity to find a way out of the supermarket and back to safety. With its unique blend of suspense, humor, and heart-pumping action, "Bait" is a gripping ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. As the stakes grow higher and the survivors fight for their lives against both the shark and each other, this thrilling film proves that even in the darkest of times, there's always hope – and a little bit of Aussie ingenuity can go a long way.

★5.9

The great white shark isn't the real monster in this underwater nightmare—humans, with their insatiable appetites for greed and consumerism, are the true predators. While the shark circles the aisles, we're trapped in a supermarket of shocks, where survival of the fittest meets the ultimate test of human nature.
