Netflix viewers hail new release as one of the 'most terrifying shark movies ever made' and urge horror fans to watch it

Netflix viewers have hailed a newly released movie as one of the 'most terrifying shark movies ever made,' and fans have urged horror fans to watch it.       

The film follows scientist Sophia, played by actress Berenice Bejo, who discovers that a massive shark is swimming in the Seine river - the day before the city's popular triathlon is set to start.      

Despite Sophia's efforts to sound the alarms to politicians that the city's swimmers will be under attack, her important message is ignored, and the competition becomes a bloodbath.   

Fans have flocked to social media to share their excitement for the thriller film, which has gotten 100 per cent ratings on the Tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes, and one person wrote: 'I just finished watching this movie. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.'

In the trailer for Xavier Gens's movie Under Paris, Sophia looks at a map that shows the shark's route in bright yellow, and her thoughts are narrated: 'We've got a signal. It's not possible.'

The scene switches to a French politician who decided to go through with the city's triathlon despite Sophia's warning, and she is seen in disbelief saying: 'A shark in the Seine?'  

Next, a confused officer is seen asking Sophia: 'Why would it come to Paris?' 

Sophia warned: 'You never inquired about the orca or the beluga. If we don't do anything, your PR operation could turn into a total bloodbath. It will be carnage.' 

The persistent scientist is shown diving in the dark-colored river, and then suddenly, viewers are shocked by the appearance of a massive shark.  

Officers are seen firing gun shots at the shark in the river, and in another scene, swimmers are seen frantically scrambling for their lives.

The concluding scene in the trailer features Sophia diving and coming face-to-face with the great white shark, and rhetorically asking herself: 'Is it over?'  

Most fans flocked to the comments to show their support for the new thriller flick.

One person humorously wrote: 'Sharc De Triomphe.' 

A second person added: 'Xavier Gens' Under Paris is one of the most brutally nihilistic, engrossing, and genuinely terrifying shark movies made in the last few years. 

'The B**** Gens had to go for a third act, and an ending like that, is nothing short of awe-inspiring - just so grim, yet captivating.'

A third person commented: 'Joining the chorus to say Xavier Gens' shark movie, Under Paris, is a blast. 

'Great set pieces, environmental issues, and smart Jaws homages. A definite good [review] for her movie.'

A fourth person wrote: 'There's nothing that excites me quite like a new shark attack horror movie that actually looks...good! 

'This one's titled Under Paris, and it's from accomplished director Xavier Gens (Frontiers, Cold Skin). Coming to Netflix June fifth - just in time for the Summer Olympics.'

A fifth person added: 'Xavier Gens' new shark film, UNDER PARIS, looks to be a classic thriller at heart, but I love that he hasn't forgotten his love for action.

One person wrote: 'Watching Under Paris right now. The movie where the only likeable character is the shark. 

'The remaining characters are just bunch of climate-loving, woke and twat personality [and] expendable meat. We're gapping for an overfed shark at the end. Go Lilith (the shark).'
