10 Most WTF Moments From 2024 Horror Movies
3. Paris Gets Flooded - Under Paris
Netflix's absolutely wild shark movie Under Paris - in which a giant shark ends up in the Seine - concludes in a totally bats**t manner that nobody could've seen coming.
In the climax, researcher Sophia (Bérénice Bejo) hatches a plan to lure the sharks out of their base in the catacombs and blow them up before they can interrupt a triathlon taking place in the Seine. This doesn't work out, leading to many of the swimmers quickly becoming shark chow, but it also gets so, so much worse than that.
The military panics and starts shooting at the mother shark, Lilith, with some of the bullets hitting unexploded World War II bombs that have been sitting at the bottom of the Seine for the better part of 80 years. That gunfire causes some of the bombs to explode, triggering a chain reaction that annihilates many surrounding bridges crucial to Paris' infrastructure.
The result? Paris becomes completely flooded, with Sophia and diver Adil (Nassim Lyes) surrounded by hungry sharks as the end credits roll.
Oh, and a mid-credits scene suggests the sharks have now made it out of Paris to rivers around the world, teeing up a bigger, more chaotic sequel which was recently confirmed to be in active development.
