Elevator pitch
- Jaws à la française
Premise
The freakishly large shark that killed her husband in the middle of the Pacific is now in the middle of Paris. Will anyone believe her?

Details
Unless otherwise stated, all full movie links I post are for free, no account required, licensed (AFAIK, IANAL) streaming VOD in English (or original language with English subtitles) and work at time of writing in my location, Mexico. Availability and language options may be different in your location. Asterisk by the one I watched.
- Netflix - 'Under Paris'(2024) * (Account & payment required) (audio & subtitles in multiple languages, including English)
Legal stream finders
Looks like this is a Netflix exclusive, but I'll put the stream finder links just in case that changes in the future.
Details
The 'nobraincellsleft' link finds legit stream sources from many countries, listed by two-letter code.
The Just Watch link lists legit stream sources only for one country at a time. On the web page, change the country to your location, e.g. change Mexico to Australia.
Neither is perfect. Check your preferred streamers directly, just in case.

Opinion
Another one of the 'guilty pleasures' in the lists from sharkologists and Jaws fans.
A little bit of silliness, a little bit of Jaws rehashed. Good action above and below ground, through the spooky catacombs under Paris (hey, that's the title!) The CGI sharks are more convincing than in the other movies.
I even thought the film might make it all the way without a shark doing a Free Willy-style leap through the air, but I guess no shark movie director can resist the idea of airborne shark.
Shark Week Score: 4 out of 5 sharks.
Screenshots
(Some screenshots are low quality, because when I rewound on Netflix to take a screenshot, the image quality was reduced for a while before going back to normal.)
Our heroine meets our villain
I, too, use Shark Searcher for all my shark searching needs.
The mayor ain't gonna let any nonsense about sharks spoil ~~Fourth of July weekend~~ the International Triathlon!
Environmentalist activist gets her chance to bond with the shark. I'm sure the relationship will end well.
How many movies can give you a location with underwater pillars of skulls?
Sweet underwater decks. DROP THE BASS! (Actually part of the explosives set up to trap the sharks... although the idea of an underwater rave in shark-infested catacombs does intrigue me.)
That's... a lot of sharks.
