Claustrophobic Sharks: The Devil’s Mouth Dials Up Tension in a Tight Cave

In The Devil’s Mouth, five vacationers in coastal Thailand are hunted through a claustrophobic cave system by a bull shark, turning a familiar survival thriller into a tense, character-driven chase highlighted by toxic friendship dynamics between Sarah and her best friend Max; the underwater set-pieces are effective and the performances by Kathryn Newton and Lana Condor lift the material, though the shark’s menace feels less distinctive and the gore remains restrained, a watchable Prime Video release directed by Jeff Wadlow with a script by Aja Gabel and Myung Joh Wesner.
