Aquarium of the Dead

I'm going to be honest, I never really thought of an aquarium as that scary of a place.  Sure, a lot of the creatures in it can be frightening to many people, especially if they are in an exaggerated B horror movie: sharks, octopus, piranha, eel.  But, I mean... they're in tanks.  If they were to escape from the tanks, all of them - except for the octopus - would just... flop.  And then die.  And then your horror movie would be over.

Maybe I just don't have the imagination for this sort of thing.  But it looks like someone does.  Coming soon - Aquarium of the Dead! (I'm having trouble getting the trailer to post directly on the page, and will update as soon as it works.  Until then, feel free to follow the YouTube link).

So first of all, love the tagline.  Secondly, I will totally see this whenever it comes on Netflix or whatever streaming service.  I do always have mixed feelings about movies like this.  On one hand, it's fun to see a (very unrealistic) depiction of your animals on screen, as well as a highly-fictionized version of your work place.  On the other, most of those animals are, by virtue of the plot, going to probably die very horrible deaths.  Also, it's likely that some or all of the aquarium employees will be depicted as horrible people who deserve to die, perhaps as comeuppance for "exploiting" the animals.  It's fair to say that most people in most horror movies are people who, if they don't explicitly deserve to die, then we the audience are, at the least, not supposed to mourn too much.
