Movies like Bait

“Bait (2012) is an Australian 2010s horror that applies formal constraint to a disaster-survival premise. It stages a contained dramatic conflict—shoppers trapped by a tsunami confront a 12-foot great white within a supermarket—and emphasizes tableau framing, axial cuts, and dense low-frequency sound to sustain dread. The film frames coastal vulnerability as a test of social order and thus reframes genre spectacle into a study of compressed moral choices.”
