If Deep Blue Sea hit the spot, these will too

Kinetic where it counts, dread-soaked underneath
The difference: Reviewed even better

Both land unease and ideas at once

Both lean on momentum more than on action
The difference: 27 years apart, and the 2020s show

One thread runs through both: scientist
The difference: Takes it somewhere less kinetic than Deep Blue Sea does

Common ground: genetic engineering
The difference: Trades the momentum of Deep Blue Sea for an angle of its own

Both keep coming back to the same thing: creature

Both are built on the same subject: creature

Both are working the same pair: shark, animal horror

Horror with a pulse of dread, in both cases

The same preoccupation in both: scientist

Unsettling science fiction in both cases
The difference: Sits closer to thriller than Deep Blue Sea does

Horror built on ideas, twice over
