Movies like Meg 2: The Trench, ranked
1. The Abyss (1989)
The Abyss matches Meg 2's deep-ocean setting and high-stakes survival formula, but replaces prehistoric predators with cold war tension and an unknowable aquatic mystery that builds dread through isolation rather than spectacle.
2. Underwater (2020)
A research team trapped in the ocean's depths faces equipment failures and unseen threats in the darkness, delivering the same claustrophobic desperation and practical survival horror as you navigate hostile deep-sea environments.
3. Jaws 2 (1978)
A dogged authority figure confronts aquatic predators in hostile waters while a skeptical community underestimates the threat, building tension through repeated encounters that escalate from isolated incidents to all-out survival.
4. Deep Blue Sea (1999)
Both films trap ensemble casts in flooded underwater facilities stalked by hyper-intelligent sharks, building tension through claustrophobic corridor chases and betrayals that force survivors to outsmart predators as structures collapse around them.
6. The Navy vs. The Night Monsters (1966)
A research team's expedition into an unexplored environment spirals into a desperate fight for survival when they encounter rapidly multiplying creatures that transform their mission into a desperate battle against overwhelming odds.

A claustrophobic descent into an unexplored ecosystem where a team of specialists confronts both environmental hazards and a prehistoric predator hunting them through narrow passages.
