Fear Below (2025) continues the Shark Month lineup with a tense, low-budget thriller about a coastal dive team investigating a series of unexplained underwater attacks. In this podcast episode, we break down the film’s narrative structure, practical effects, sound design, and direction, highlighting what independent filmmakers can learn from its creative choices and limitations. We analyze where Fear Below succeeds as a B-movie shark flick, where it falls short, and how it fits into the long tradition of cult aquatic horror. Whether it’s tension-building, creature design, or budget-conscious storytelling, this review surfaces key takeaways from one of this year’s newest shark films.
