‘Deep Water’ Exclusive Poster – Gene Simmons Produces Renny Harlin’s Shark Attack Movie
Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2) is back this coming May with new horror movie Deep Water, which will return Harlin to the shark attack genre he mastered with 1999’s Deep Blue Sea.
Produced by Gene Simmons, Deep Water will be released only in theaters by Magenta Light Studios on May 1, 2026. Exclusively check out the film’s official poster down below.
Deep Water is rated “R” for “violent content/bloody images and some language.”
Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kinsgley star alongside Molly Wright (The Best Christmas Pageant Ever), Angus Sampson (Insidious), Kelly Gale (Plane), and Li Wenhan from K-Pop group UNIQ.
In Renny Harlin’s Deep Water, “A flight from Los Angeles to Shanghai goes down in the middle of the Pacific. After surviving the crash, the survivors soon discover they’re not alone and they must survive the shark infested waters. The terrified group is forced to work together and overcome their differences if they hope to escape their sinking plane and the frenzy of sharks.”
The screenplay was written by Pete Bridges and Shayne Armstrong & SP Krause.
Renny Harlin said in a recent statement, “Deep Water represents the kind of movie I’ve dreamed of making since I grew up loving the ’70s disaster movies. Spectacular action and unforgettable characters who didn’t leave a dry eye in the movie theater.”
In addition to Deep Blue Sea, considered by many horror fans to be one of the very best shark attack movies, Renny Harlin’s long career as a director in the horror genre includes the 1980s movies Prison and A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. He also directed 2004 prequel The Exorcist: The Beginning, as well as the recent trilogy of The Strangers movies.
Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
