A Shark Attack in Paris? Under Paris Dominates Netflix
We've seen it all. Shark attacks in the ocean, sharks in swimming pools, but sharks swimming down the Seine in Paris? That's just plain crazy. But turns out, it's the heart of the latest Netflix original film "Under Paris," a French thriller that's become a massive hit with viewers around the world, reaching an impressive 96.9 million views!.
"Under Paris" follows the terrifying rampage of Lilith, a huge, super aggressive shark, who decides to ditch her usual habitat for a quick adventure in Paris, France. Sounds unbelievable? Apparently not! The film blends thrills, some chills, and a dash of crazy disaster movie action! Viewers around the globe went bonkers over it! They couldn't stop talking about the action and suspense!
Sharks In The Seine, Oh La La! A Wild Premise
"Under Paris" is what you would call a French horror movie. Honestly, some viewers compared the plot to "Jaws". You can imagine why: You've got a deadly shark lurking in a totally unexpected place. The whole "Sharks in the Seine" plot is definitely what grabs everyone's attention and pulls them in! This has been a major factor in "Under Paris' "success.
This might sound insane to some, but it makes perfect sense why "Under Paris" took off! It's not everyday you get to see a monster in your own neighborhood, especially one that wants to make some yummy Parisian snacks. But the director really made those scary scenes pop on screen and you get an actual sense of how bad it is to find yourself caught in this nightmare.
Reviews, Viewership, and What’s Next for “Under Paris”
Reviews for "Under Paris"? Well, they’ve been a little mixed! A whole bunch of people were happy about it, but others were a little bummed. I'm guessing the reviewers liked the high-energy and thrill, but some viewers wanted it to have a bigger message or a little less, shall we say, chaos in the city. Even though "Under Paris" didn’t get the best ratings, it’s still a smash hit, with 96.9 million views to prove it! Netflix cares more about viewership, especially in the global arena!
But hold your horses, this isn’t the last you’ll see of Lilith. At the end of the movie, the filmmakers dropped a seriously sneaky teaser. Looks like Lilith and her whole “baby shark” family set their sights on new locations. Think about it. Sharks are going to attack England, Thailand, Italy and even Japan. They’re invading everywhere and that just gives “Under Paris” even more room to expand! The only question is – how much is Netflix going to play it up, with a second film and, possibly, a whole new series?
Shark Attack Mania: Why Under Paris Is Such a Big Deal
It’s more than just the crazy storyline and all the tension – “Under Paris” is playing off of disaster movie mania and what a lot of viewers really crave, especially in the streaming movie universe. Let’s face it, who doesn’t love a little dose of thrilling chaos that makes your heart beat faster? Disaster Movies make it easier to let your anxieties go while experiencing a crazy story that’s probably a lot less crazy than some news headlines.
It’s a pretty popular trend: “Under Paris” definitely found its audience, tapping into what they’re looking for! We're seeing those "most watched" Movies and shows go bonkers, even if reviewers think they are only "okay." I’m guessing a whole bunch of viewers are happy to just let the tension and craziness wash over them and just enjoy those thrill moments!
The Potential for “Under Paris” - Part 2
That’s the power of "Under Paris" – its ending already leaves us ready for another round! The idea of a shark invasion across different countries? Now that's just pure storytelling gold. Netflix might not confirm if there’s a second film right away, but it definitely has the potential. We're gonna have to wait and see how the company plays it out.
All this buzz about sharks in Paris, London, Bangkok and so on makes it seem like they are going to play the "monster invasion" card in this sequel. And let’s be real. A sequel with these views? You’re getting it!
