“The terror storm was only the beginning... but the SHARKS would be the merciless end”
Directed by René Cardona Jr.
The premise
An airplane goes down in the ocean during a storm and a few survivors find refuge on a small tour boat. Swept out to sea, these people slowly starve to death in the hot sun with barely any food or clean water. With no place to turn, the boat survivors resort to cannibalism to stay alive...that is ..until the rescue planes come to pick them up and the man eating sharks decide its time to eat as well.
Horror Vault's take
When a violent storm sends a passenger plane crashing into the ocean, a desperate band of survivors clings to life aboard a cramped tour boat adrift under a merciless sun. Food, water, and hope dwindle with each passing day, pushing the castaways toward choices no civilized person would ever imagine making. Nature refuses to let up, and the open sea proves as predatory as anything lurking beneath its surface. This late-70s Italian-Mexican co-production delivers an unflinching look at how quickly civilization can unravel when survival is all that remains.
