Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT French shark thriller Under Paris revolves around a seemingly ludicrous premise of a killer fish stalking swimmers in the Seine, yet as outlandish as the idea seems, there is a surprising element of truth to the story. Serving as both a blood-soaked monster movie and a surprisingly thoughtful parable for the dangers posed by climate change, Under Paris has been hailed by some as the best shark attack movie since Jaws.
In fact, and as unnerving as it may seem following the events depicted in Under Paris, sharks are recorded in rivers all over the world. By far the most common is the bull shark – also known as the Zambezi shark for the frequency with which it is found in the African river. The bull shark's range, however, extends far beyond Africa, with sightings recorded thousands of miles up the Amazon and Mississippi river systems.
It is believed that the Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916, which served as the inspiration for Jaws , were perpetrated by bull sharks, rather than the great white seen in the movie.
