A destination wedding goes sideways when a great white shows up uninvited. CHUM, starring Alice Eve, hits theaters and VOD on June 5 from Independent Film Company.

The premise is simple but effective. A wedding party in Malta gets ambushed by a bloodthirsty shark and a fisherman with his own twisted plans. Trapped between open water and a human threat, the group has to figure out who to trust while fighting to stay alive. The newlyweds, meanwhile, are forced to confront whether their relationship can survive the chaos.

Eve, known for Star Trek Into Darkness and recent indie thrillers like Cult Killer, leads the cast. Jonathan Zuck directs from a script he co-wrote with Joe Leone. The ensemble includes Eric Michael Cole, Elle Haymond, and Sarah Siadat.

IFC is giving this one a day-and-date release, meaning it’ll be available in theaters and at home simultaneously. The 87-minute runtime suggests a lean, no-filler approach, which is exactly what a survival thriller needs.

For indie filmmakers and genre fans, CHUM is a reminder that you don’t need a massive budget to deliver tension. A smart concept, a solid cast, and a killer location can go a long way.
