This month in the Movieland Spotlight, we sit down with Australian filmmaker Kiah Roache-Turner, the creative force behind the new shark thriller Beast of War (2025). We dive into the deep end with his latest shark spectacle and revisit his spine-tingling previous feature, Sting (2024) - a web-spinning nightmare guaranteed to test your arachnophobia.Along the way, we chat about the best shark movie ever made (besides Jaws, of course), the absolute worst one to ever surface, and what it takes to keep audiences gripping their seats from spiders to sharks.
