Under Paris

About This Movie

Under Paris is a peculiar blend of action and horror that plays out against the stunning yet eerie backdrop of the Seine. The film weaves together themes of loss and redemption as our scientist protagonist grapples with her painful past. There's something visceral about the pacing; it doesn't rush but rather builds tension, keeping an eye on the horror elements without letting the action overshadow the emotional core. The practical effects for the shark are surprisingly effective, giving that real, gritty feel that CGI often misses. Performances are solid, with the lead conveying a deep sense of grief that grounds the outrageous premise. It’s this juxtaposition of human emotion against a fantastical threat that makes it distinctive, an odd flick that leaves you pondering long after the credits roll.
