Jonathan Zuck’s ‘Chum’ attempts to fuse shark-attack horror with serial killer thriller conventions, anchored by Alice Eve in the lead role. The film combines two distinct genre frameworks—creature horror and psychological thriller—into a single narrative structure. According to critical assessment via Screen Anarchy, the film underperforms in execution, failing to generate sustained tension or originality from its genre hybridization. The project features supporting cast including Elle Haymond and Eric Michael Coe. Rather than achieving synthesis between its conceptual elements, the film apparently struggles with tonal coherence and narrative momentum, resulting in a work that neither excels as pure creature feature nor as character-driven psychological drama. The review suggests the film’s genre-blending ambition ultimately proves its structural weakness.
