The Black Demon is a 2023 science fiction thriller film directed by Adrian Grünberg from a screenplay by Boise Esquerra and starring Josh Lucas, Fernanda Urrejola and Julio Cesar Cedillo.

After witnessing the attack, Chato reveals to Paul that some lucky crew members escaped the Black Demon, adding that the radio on the rig does not function and calls made to Nixon Oil for help were ignored.

When she confronts Paul about this, he admits his mistakes and adds that he did what he did to provide for his family, stating his job and economic security would be at risk if he did not act according to the company's interests.

Realizing the danger and hoping to set things right, Paul dives underwater (as his family and Chato escape) to seal the oil spill and destroy the Black Demon.

The website's consensus reads: "A small shark in a big pond of man-eating legends, The Black Demon bites off more than it can chew, leaving little carnage for the audience to feast on.

"[8] Leslie Felperin of The Guardian regarded the film as, "Daft but fun shark mayhem on [a] Mexican oil rig," writing that, “The Black Demon effectively sticks to [its] well-greased formula.[...

"[9] Meagan Navarro of Bloody Disgusting wrote, "The Black Demon only loosely explores the cryptid and instead uses it as a tool to spin a cautionary tale of manmade ecological disaster.

Directed by Ben Hernandez Bray, with a script co-written by Aaron Benjamin and Boise Esquerra, the movie will star Jack Kesy, Julio Cesar Cedillo (reprising his role from the first installment), and Kate Del Castillo.
