If you want the answer to that question, look no further than
Beast . This was originally released in 2022, but it's new to Netflix in April.

Elba plays a recently widowed man, Nate, and his two daughters as they travel to a South African game reserve managed by an old family friend. They're
there to honor Nate's late wife, but their trip takes a terrifying turn when they end up being stalked and attacked by a ferocious, rogue lion.

There are so many
shark movies out there, and Thrash is the latest one to focus on the terrifying ocean-dwellers. Just when you thought sharks couldn't get any scarier, this thriller sees a catastrophic hurricane bringing sharks with it, thanks to rapidly rising waters.

It does sound a bit like Sharknado , but perhaps less silly, as natural disaster meets apex predator. Phoebe Dynevor and Djimon Hounsou are among the cast here, playing a pregnant woman and a marine researcher doing their best to survive.

Apex differs from the others as it doesn't feature a creature per se, but
it's no less terrifying. Here, Charlize Theron plays a rock climber who finds herself being targeted by a hunter (played by Taron Egerton) in the wild.

Judging by the trailer, Egerton is absolutely terrifying and I'm excited to watch this thriller unfold. Anyone looking for a gripping new survival movie might just find it here, but you'll have to be patient as the movie is released at the end of April.
