Horror on the high seas is an almost automatic trigger for unease. Even without a single drop of blood on screen, the mysteries of deep waters make us feel unsafe—especially when we plunge ourselves into them. But Matthew Losasso’s Row (2025) isn’t about that primal fear of what lurks beneath. What made Jaws truly memorable

In 2002, 28 Days Later revitalised the zombie genre, introducing new lore and changing the game forever.
