The Black Demon, the 2023 film, takes on the legendary myth of an ancient Mexican shark, known as El Demonio Negro or the Black Demon. This megalodon awakened through environmental disruption and starts causing terror for humans. Sturges and his family end up stranded on an offshore oil rig where they are confronted with this vengeful predator Paul. It uses the shark as more than just a monster; it's a cautionary tale about the exploitation of humanity against nature. The Black Demon blends myth, ecological themes, and survival horror to create a modern, thrilling take on man vs. myth.
