Well, I discovered JAWS OF DEATH in the late 70's, at the Brady cinema in Paris, a little theatre specialized in horror movies, cheap ones. A cinema every movie lover in Paris knew at this time. I really enjoyed it. I did not really know Richard Jaeckel at this moment and I was surprised by this B feature. I don't understand that many IMDb users talk about Jaws - Spielberg one, I mean...Nothing to do with it.
Last week, so many years after the first viewing of JAWS OF DEATH, I watched STANLEY, directed by the same William Grefe. For me it's no more no less than a transposition - or I should say a first scheme of JAWS OF DEATH...but with snakes instead of sharks. A WILLARD like movie where a man prefers the company of animals, wild, dangerous or disgusting beasts, to the human beings associates. And, after all, he is probably right...
And no IMDb user seems to have noticed that, the similarity between the two films.
That's strange, isn't it?
