“What you’ve done is taken God’s oldest killing machine and given it will and desire. What you’ve done is knocked us all the way to the bottom of the goddamn food chain.”

One of the many, many Jaws knockoffs, with a bit of Dr. Frankenstein mad scientist thrown in, 1999’s Deep Blue Sea was most notable for defying expectations and horror movie tropes in terms of expected deaths and survivors. It also provides some templates reused in Jurassic Park and its various sequels including an untimely storm and Thomas Jane as a sort of shark wrangler for a pack of killer creatures far smarter than their creators.

Much like Clarice, Furious is set around a promising agent of the FBI with past trauma whose career is being hampered by the number of less qualified men in her way preventing her from catching a serial killer.
