"The Abyss (2023): Netflix's Top Disaster Thriller You Can't Miss"

Netflix quietly released the Swedish disaster thriller "The Abyss," set in the real-life town of Kiruna, where the threat of mining subsidence forces the town to slowly move east. The film follows a workaholic single mom juggling her job as a mine security manager and family drama, culminating in a disaster that rocks the town to its foundations. While lacking in compelling characters and humor, the film delivers claustrophobic cave scenes and a terrifying town center destruction sequence, making it a lean disaster film worth watching for those who prefer less bombast in their disaster flicks.

"Director of Iconic Disaster Thriller Asserts It's Untouchable 27 Years On"

Jan de Bont, director of the 1996 disaster film Twister, believes that the upcoming sequel, Twisters, will be vastly different from his original vision due to advancements in visual effects technology. De Bont acknowledges that Twister helped revolutionize visual effects and became one of the most influential films of the decade. However, he doubts that the practical shots and real-life elements from the original could be replicated today. While he is unsure if he will watch the sequel, de Bont believes that director Lee Isaac Chung may bring a unique perspective to the Midwestern tale. He also expresses skepticism about the trend of inexperienced directors being chosen for big-budget films, noting that studios ultimately have control over the final product.
