## Resource

Writer-director Kiah Roache-Turner ’s Beast Of War isn’t just another entry in the long tradition of shark films - it’s a pulse-pounding WWII thriller that delivers on both fronts. This Australian production stands out with its commitment to practical effects over CGI, keeping viewers on edge as a group of soldiers faces both a battle-scarred predator and the harsh realities of survival at sea. Kiah Roache-Turner joins this episode of the podcast to discuss the film’s cinematic inspirations, the challenges of shooting in an indoor water tank, and how Beast Of War channels the spirit of Australian New Wave war movies like Gallipoli and Attack Force Z . This conversation offers an inside look at the film’s gritty visuals, standout performances, and the creative choices that make this shark adventure a genre standout.
