The 35th edition of Discovery Channel’s Shark Week is officially underway, marking the return of the annual fan-favorite weeklong shark celebration. Shark Week began in 1988 as a fun means of educating audiences on the aquatic predator, counteracting the negative representations of sharks in popular culture that began with the seminal aquatic horror feature Jaws (now available to stream on Peacock).
Jaws didn’t just make people afraid to go into the water; its massive blockbuster success inspired an enduring wave of “sharksploitation” horror that’s become a summer mainstay. Naturally, in celebration of Shark Week, this week’s streaming picks bring the aquatic terror. Shudder’s new documentary Sharksploitation breaks down this subgenre further, packed with insights from filmmakers and scientists alike, for further viewing to complete your Shark Week watchlists.
Whether you’re in the mood for killer shark horror dripping with cheese or genuinely unsettling Jaws riffs,...

(Welcome to Scariest Scene Ever, a column dedicated to the most pulse-pounding moments in horror with your tour guides, horror experts Chris Evangelista and Matt Donato. In this edition, Matt takes a swim in "The Shallows.")
Under the sea, life is not better. Do you know what lives down there? Have you seen "The Shallows"? Or "Jaws"? Or countless other aquatic horror films? Disney's "The Little Mermaid" live-action update will lie to another generation of young moviegoers who should be terrified about what lurks under the surface leagues-deep. There's still an overwhelming percentage of ocean depths that humankind has not explored, with so many horrors left to encounter. In honor of "The Little Mermaid," let's highlight just one of those nightmares.
We all can agree "Jaws" is the best fin flick of all time, but what about second place? I'd argue that Jaume Collet-Serra's "The Shallows" is a snout's length ahead of the pack,...

The Fantastic Mr Fox soundtrack. Wes Anderson loves quirk. Enigmatic characters with deadpan stares, talking – and talking, and talking, and talking. With wry postmodern self-awareness. Steve Zissou. Jason Schwartzman in Rushmore. The Tenenbaums. Quirk up to the eyeballs. And whilst for some (like me) this can be tiresome in his narratives and characters, the man knows how to make a really pleasingly quirky soundtrack.
Anderson’s affection for the Fantastic Mr Fox children’s book is clear and sincere – it was the first book he ever owned, and his wry quirkiness allied with this sense of warm-hearted nostalgia has produced a gorgeous soundtrack, all plucked strings, harmonies, crooning, and The Beach Boys, and that’s a recipe for Christmassy loveliness right there. Alexandre Desplat has scored the piece, contributing twelve tracks to the album, each simple, jaunty, and utterly charming, and Burl Ives’ Fooba Wooba John (like Dean Martin with...
