Fear Below is an upcoming Australian action adventure horror film directed by Matthew Holmes, and starring Hermione Corfield, Jake Ryan, Jacob Junior Nayinggul, Arthur Angel, Josh McConville, Maximillian Johnson and Clayton Watson.
Written by Matthew Holmes and Gregory Moss, the period-set thriller follows a team of professional divers hired to locate a sunken van in a river, only to be confronted by a territorial bull shark.
When their efforts are thwarted by a highly-aggressive female bull shark, the team soon discover they are working for a ruthless criminal gang attempting to recover their stolen gold bullion, who prove to be as treacherous as the beast lurking beneath the surface.
Fear Below began as a spec script written by Matthew Holmes and Gregory Moss, who were passionate about creating a fresh spin on the shark thriller, as well as paying homage to classic adventure films like Jaws and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
