A person with a thalassophobia tried to watch a shark movie.

Do you also have any movies that you avoid? If there are, what are they? As for me, I love horror movies. I like the type of horror that scares me and really makes me jump and scream because of the scary scenes. But there are different kinds of horror genres, and one of the horror movies that I am avoiding is one that contains "Shark.". As a person who has thalassophobia, I really hate watching a movie that involves deep water. I can't watch that, and if you let me watch some movies like that, I couldn't sleep peacefully at night because the scenes would stay in my mind for a long time, even in my dreams. But today, I saw a new shark movie. This is a new movie that just aired this year. I didn't intend to watch it, but I always saw it featured on the Loklok app's front page, and I was deciding whether to watch it or not yesterday until I decided to try watching it today to see if I could finish it or if I could fight the feeling of being scared about the happenings.

This movie is called "Sous la Siene," also known as Under the Siene. According to Google, Siene is a French word. It's a long river in northern france. Which is why I think the movie title in English was "Under Paris". Take note that if you watch this, the language they use is French, but you can also watch it with a English subtitle, so it's fine. The first time I saw the poster, it made me gulp because the look was so dark and scary. feel like I want to retreat, but I want to be brave. That's why I still watch it.

Isn't it sweet when, in the Eiffel Tower at night, there are lights and a romantic look? But here in the opening, the romantic feeling I feel every time I see the Eiffel Tower is gone because of the dark lights.

If there's one vehicle that I don't want to ride when we're at the beach, it's the boat, or even like this, you can't force me to ride on such things, even yachts. I'm just thinking maybe a shark or large sea species will suddenly appear when we are in the middle of the sea. I tried to ride the boat. I used to cry really hard because I was really scared that our boat might capsize.

There are two different types of bodies of water that I do not want to swim in.

And in this part or scene of this movie, I couldn't stop myself from screaming because I felt scared. My heartbeat was fast, my breathing slowed down, and my eyes also turned big because of the tension that this scene created.

One of the reasons I don't want to watch things like this is because it makes me feel guilty when there are cute animals involved. I am a dog lover, and I couldn't bear watching or imagining what would happen to this cute pup after, so I skipped.

I think this is just the reason why I also enjoyed watching this movie. He's so handsome! Like Zayn Malik.

When I watched this scene, I said, "How about me? Aren't you going to ask if I like to drink coffee too?" Even if I have heartburn, I will still agree to have coffee as long as you are with me. Charought! I'm just trying to calm myself down because I'm afraid of deep water scenes. I'm glad that there's also a scene like this. It helps me to calm down a little bit.

But despite those scenes that made me scared, there is this girl that I never expected to see. I never expected that I could watch a girl that can hold a sniper in real life here. I only saw a sniper rifle in Call of Duty, but I didn't know that this is how it looks in real life, especially when the cameraman gave me a chance to see what it looks like when you point the gun. Cool!

MY FINAL THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS MOVIE:

I don't remember the last time I watched a movie about sharks. I think it's been a long time for me to watch this kind of movie because I am really scared of deep water scenes.

And after I watch this right now, the deep water scene is still in my mind, which made me think that I will expect that I cannot sleep well later or that it will be hard for me to sleep again because of the happenings that I have watched in this movie.

About the story of this movie, yes, it made me feel terrified, but I also focused on the story of this movie, although I find it hard to watch. There are scenes I didn't like that made me feel mad at the protagonist. I couldn't help but react. I'm really annoyed that I'm at the point of not wanting to watch it anymore because of that.

Nevertheless, there's also what I like about this movie. That is when the shark, scenes, and places are look so real or really happen in real life, and it's not obvious that it was filmed on green screen only and because of that, I will still rate this movie 9 out of 10.

THANKS FOR READING!
