The shark horror from In the Waters of the Seine has been dethroned by a slasher film on Netflix. It all started with a fake trailer from a Tarantino blockbuster.
The reign of the sharks from The Waters of the Seine is over. At least on Netflix here in Germany, where the French thriller was recently knocked off the top spot in the streaming charts by Eli Roth’s slasher film Thanksgiving.
The film began life in 2007 as a fake trailer in Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s Grindhouse project, but is not the first spin-off from it. Machete and Hobo with a Shotgun were already made into real films in the years that followed.
What’s the Thanksgiving horror movie that knocked In the Water of the Seine off the Netflix top spot about?
In Thanksgiving, a serial killer wearing a John Carver pilgrim mask terrorizes the festivities surrounding Black Friday and Thanksgiving. More specifically, he’s targeting the residents of Plymouth, Massachusetts, whose sheriff (Patrick Dempsey) is faced with a bloody mystery.
Can the killer be stopped before Gabby (Addison Rae), Ryan (Milo Manheim), Jessica (Nell Verlaque) and their clique are carved like turkeys? Or will the young women simply launch a celebratory counter-attack?

Will there be In the Water of the Seine 2 on Netflix?
In the Waters of the Seine director Xavier Gens recently spoke about a potential sequel to his shark thriller and will soon be talking to Netflix executives about it. The sequel has not yet been officially ordered, but Gens already knows roughly how it would continue: with Paris completely under water.
Part one of the French thriller is currently only in third place in the German Netflix film charts. This is what the top 5 currently looks like:
1st place: Thanksgiving
2nd place: 96 Hours – Taken 3
3rd place: In the waters of the Seine
4th place: Get Out
5th place: Four Brothers
