Thrash is now streaming on Netflix, a disaster thriller that traps coastal residents in hurricane floodwater filled with sharks. (netflix.com) Netflix describes the film as the story of a catastrophic hurricane hitting a coastal town, leaving survivors to navigate rising water and shark attacks. The cast includes Phoebe Dynevor, Whitney Peak and Djimon Hounsou. (netflix.com) Netflix’s Tudum site said Thrash was part of the platform’s April 2026 lineup and was already streaming by April 10. Tudum’s separate film guide says director Tommy Wirkola made the movie with Hyperobject Industries, the company founded by Adam McKay and Kevin Messick. (netflix.com 1) (netflix.com 2) Wirkola told Tudum the movie was built around a simple survival setup: people stranded by a storm, then hunted in water they cannot safely escape. Adam McKay told Tudum the premise felt more plausible as climate-fueled flooding events accelerated. (netflix.com) Netflix’s own weekly rankings show Thrash reached No. 1 on the English films list for the week of April 6, 2026. A week later, Tudum said the movie remained in the Top 10 as Trust Me: The False Prophet led the English television chart. (netflix.com 1) (netflix.com 2) That performance puts the film in the middle of a busy April for Netflix movies. Tudum’s monthly schedule listed Apex, starring Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton, for April 24 alongside returning series including BEEF and Running Point. (netflix.com) Outside Netflix’s own coverage, streaming guides and entertainment roundups quickly folded Thrash into recommendation lists. PCMag called it the week’s top-watched Netflix movie, while What’s on Netflix reported it topped the U.S. movie chart during the same stretch. (pcmag.com) (whats-on-netflix.com) The short version is simpler than the social-media roundups: Thrash is not just another title added to the catalog. Netflix’s own data says it arrived in April and immediately became one of the service’s most-watched movies. (netflix.com 1) (netflix.com 2)
