The 2025 Off the Wall rooftop film series repeats our Summer Reading theme, Color Our World, and celebrates the power of joy and creativity in different hues. The series continues with the 1990s science fiction horror film Deep Blue Sea (R, 106 min.).
RogerEbert.com describes this thriller as “a neat package of terror, sharks and special effects.”
Directed by Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2, Cutthroat Island), Deep Blue Sea is set in an isolated deep-sea station. A scientist (Saffron Burrows) and her team research mako sharks to help fight Alzheimer’s disease, but plans go awry when genetically engineered sharks escape and go on a rampage.
Other notable actors in the ensemble include Samuel L. Jackson, who heads up the corporation paying for the research, and hip-hop rapper LL Cool J as a Bible-quoting cook.
