New Streaming Crime Thriller Uses Unique Location

Anyone even remotely familiar with New England knows that fishing is a big part of the community. With so many cities and towns set along the Atlantic coastline, it only makes sense that Massachusettes, in particular, would have a large commercial fishing community. One coastal city in particular, Gloucester—rhymes with “roster” for all the non-Massholes reading this—was the subject of the 2000 disaster epic The Perfect Storm.

Between The Perfect Storm‘s doomed boat of fishermen and Finestkind‘s desperate pair of fisherman brothers, it’s safe to say that if a movie is set in a coastal Massachusettes town and revolves around the fishing industry, the characters involved are going to have a bad time. Jaws is also set in Massachusetts, so maybe just being set near the Boston part of the Atlantic Ocean is enough to doom a film’s cast, fishing or not.
