Intense thriller about cocaine shark is now on Netflix

The thriller has received mixed reviews but Netflix users are urging people to give it a chance

If you're looking for something a bit different to watch this week, Netflix has got you covered.

The streaming service is great at offering something for everyone, but one of its latest additions really steps outside the box. We're talking drug traffickers, the ocean, and one big shark.

Sounds wild, right? And that's only a brief overview. Check out the trailer below:

Shooting up the Netflix top 10 list this week is Deep Fear; a film first released last year, just one month after Elizabeth Banks' wild drug movie Cocaine Bear arrived in cinemas.

While Cocaine Bear focused on, well, a bear that ingested a sh*t load of cocaine, Deep Fear follows a similar premise, but with the added element of the ocean.

Starring Mãdãlina Ghenea, Ed Westwick, Macarena Gómez and Stany Coppet, the movie followers a solo traveller on a yacht who stumbles upon three drug traffickers clinging to the remains of a boat during her journey.

Things take another unfortunate turn when the traffickers force the woman to dive into the water to retrieve the kilos of cocaine that sank when their ship got destroyed.

As if that wasn't challenging enough, the woman also has to deal with the sharks circling in the drug-filled water.

Coming hot on the heels of Cocaine Bear, Deep Fear arrived at a time when film fans were curious to know exactly what happens when hard drugs mix with wildlife.

Unfortunately, however, that didn't do much to help Deep Fear's reviews.

The film has an Audience Score of just 13 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and one critical viewer went as far as to say they had 'never seen such a sh*t shark horror movie before'.

However, Netflix's recent release of Griselda, in which Sofia Vergara plays drug lord Griselda Blanco, seems to have given many users a new appetite for drug-related humor.

Deep Fear currently sits at Number 2 on Netflix's Top 10 movies, and a number of users are encouraging people to give the thriller a chance.

"Deep Fear on Netflix was a cool lil movie," one fan commented, while another wrote: "Found another good watch on Netflix - Deep Fear."

At one hour and 20 minutes, the action-packed movie could make for the perfect mid-week movie night - and even if it's not the best film you've ever seen, it seems like it will still be quite the experience!
