Thrash is most profitable when it goes for simple thrills, as in a scene the place the children should work out easy methods to distract some sharks, swim into their flooded basement, retrieve some essential gear, and make it again as much as their almost-submerged kitchen-counter perch earlier than the creatures come after them.
