DEEP RED WATER

In the unforgiving depths where blood stains the blue, the Queen rises, fuelled to take revenge!
Drama | Film 1h 45m | 2024
In the chilling depths of the Pacific Ocean, a nightmare begins when a vulnerable three-month-old female Great White shark is dragged aboard a rogue Japanese culling ship. She witnesses the brutal slaughter of her kin—majestic ocean giants vivisected alive for their fins and discarded like trash—before being flung back into the sea amid an Australian coast guard raid. Scarred by human cruelty, she vanishes into the abyss, biding her time for revenge.
Two decades later, she resurfaces as "Scarface," a colossal 21-foot apex predator with a hide marked by betrayal. Now the avenger, she terrorizes Australia's East Coast, shredding boats, claiming fishermen, and leaving bloody wakes in her path. In Byron Bay, seasoned shark hunters Stan—a tattooed veteran of countless sea battles—and his reckless partner Reggie are drawn by a massive government reward. They enlist Stormy, a wise Aboriginal captain with ancestral sea knowledge, to pursue her aboard his symbol-adorned vessel, unaware that their hunt will unearth humanity's sins against the marine world.
Further north in the idyllic Whitsunday Islands, two young couples—childhood sweethearts Keona and Yindi, full of dreams, and urban escapees Neville and Lisa, seeking romance—embark on a joyful sea-doo adventure. Their paradise shatters in a high-speed collision, leaving them adrift on a damaged craft. As currents pull them offshore, they battle dehydration, jellyfish stings, pounding swells, and growing paranoia from subtle ripples hinting at dangers lurking below.
Hope arrives via a rescue helicopter piloted by unflappable ex-military ace Matthias and his sharp co-pilot Steve, who spot their distress signal. But catastrophe strikes as Scarface is determined to bloody the waters. Now, this mismatched group—hunters, vacationers, and rescuers—must form uneasy alliances against the cunning, vengeful colossus, as secrets surface and waves threaten doom.
In a heart-pounding clash of man versus monster, the ocean demands its toll. As Scarface circles with malicious intelligence, the survivors fight for their lives, forging bonds amid revelations. Only the most tenacious will escape the abyss, in this adrenaline-fueled tale where retribution meets resilience.
