Spoilers below for anyone who hasn’t yet watched the entirety of the new shark-infested thriller Thrash streaming via Netflix subscription, so be warned!
When it comes to newborn babies being depicted onscreen, Hollywood has an up-and-down track record. There are certainly more wins than failures, but the failures are spectacular enough to tip the scales, and it almost always involves non-human iterations. I’m talking of course about American Sniper’s infamously awful fake baby, and Twilight: Breaking Dawn’s terrifying Renesmee animatronic that was too freaky to use in the actual movie. Thrash is certainly on that level, though not quite the same.
