Maneater is a 2022 American horror thriller film directed by Justin Lee, starring Nicky Whelan, Shane West, Trace Adkins, Branscombe Richmond and Jeff Fahey.

A young man jumping off a popular cliff into a lagoon is grabbed in mid-air by the shark, which leaps up out of the white surf.

Captain Wally, on the boat with his wife Beth while Jessie and her friends spend a night on the island, drops his walkie-talkie radio into the sea.

Ty has previously cut his hand badly on a knife and has been warned by Wally on no account to go into the water, as sharks can smell the blood.

There is one more death: at the end of the film, Harlan is visited at home by his friend Sam, who brings with him a young man called Peter.

[5] Ian Sedensky of Culture Crypt gave the film a score of 20 out of 100, writing that "meanders well past the point of fleshing out everyone with backstories and over the border into full-on "where's the shark already?"

[7] Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "By the end, "Maneater" has walked right up to the edge of being a fun, silly, "so bad it's good" time-killer.

"[8] Matthew Mahler of MovieWeb wrote that the film "is never gripping or scary enough to ever distract from the silliness of its scenes, making it oddly more fun to put on with some friends for a laugh.
