Great White

Five strangers survive a sea plane crash and cling to a small raft as the open ocean stretches endlessly around them. With no obvious sign of rescue, the group fights exhaustion, thirst, and the constant hum of the waves. The danger outside is matched by the danger inside as fear, doubt, and old tensions surface under the scorching sun. When a massive predator moves beneath the surface, the survivors realize their fight to stay alive will require trust and quick decisions under pressure. The film keeps the tension tight, compartmentalizing fear into practical choices while nature narrows their options.

Directed by Martin Wilson, Great White leverages a tense survival premise with an original screenplay by Michael Boughen. The 2021 thriller stars Katrina Bowden along with Aaron Jakubenko, and marks Wilson's foray into lean, high stakes horror.

Reception has been mixed, with some critics praising the claustrophobic atmosphere and Bowden's performance, while others see familiar survival tropes. The film explores fear under pressure and how trust frays when danger won't quit, a point reflected by a modest rating around 5.2 from 412 votes.
