10 Scariest Shark Movies You've Never Seen

10. Mako

One of the more recent movies on this list, 2021's Mako puts, you guessed it, mako sharks in the spotlight. 

With documentary filmmaker Rana Bahgat becoming a laughing stock after one of her films is accidentally announced as the winner of an award - not helped by Rana tripping over as she embarrassingly heads back to her seat empty-handed - she and her crew eventually settle on the idea of exploring the Salem Express as a way to repair her reputation.

For those unaware, the Salem Express is a real-life passenger ship that resides at the bottom of the Red Sea after sinking in 1991. To this day, the vessel contains the corpses of those trapped in the boat as it sank. And it's this trip that pits our characters up against mako sharks, not to mention their own dwindling mental states.

With so much of the movie taking place deep underwater, the dimly-lit nature of those sequences only further amps up the dread of what's already a pretty terrifying experience. Not to mention, there's a nice little twist awaiting at Mako's end.
