OK, I know this isn’t technically an action movie but my wife and I love a good shark thriller and here’s yet another film featuring a strong central female character battling it out with mankind’s greatest predator. The film is titled The Requin and it stars Alicia Silverstone and James Tupper.

On holiday in paradise, things go terribly awry when a hurricane strands a couple adrift in the middle of the ocean. Worse yet, great white sharks smell the blood and they come calling for their next meal. Check out the key art and new trailer below from Saban Films.

There’s terror in paradise when Jaelyn (Alicia Silverstone) and Kyle (James Tupper) arrive at a remote seaside villa in Vietnam for a romantic getaway. A torrential storm descends, reducing the villa to little more than a raft and sweeping the young couple out to sea. Suddenly, another danger appears: a school of great white sharks. With her injured husband watching helplessly, Jaelyn must battle the deadly predators alone in this tense thriller that rides an unrelenting wave of fear.

Helmed by writer/director Le-Van Kiet, Saban Films is readying a theatrical, Digital and VOD launch for January 28th.
