Netflix just added one of the best shark movies of the past decade — and this survival thriller has some serious bite

Netflix has just added "The Shallows," a shark movie that has been making waves in the past decade. This survival thriller, starring Blake Lively, offers a fresh take on the genre by focusing on the story of Nancy Adams, a medical student who ends up stranded in the ocean with a great white shark. Unlike many recent shark films, "The Shallows" manages to avoid the usual tropes that plague the genre, instead delivering a gripping and emotional narrative.

Nancy's intelligence and survival skills are showcased as she uses her medical knowledge to combat the shark, making for an engaging and intense 86-minute watch. While the ending may not be perfect, "The Shallows" still stands out as one of the best shark movies of the past decade, making it a must-watch for fans of the genre.
