What's not to love about this film? It is quite possibly one of the most tense films ever to be made!
This films breaks all the horror rules, and it does it brilliantly!
We have no masked killer hiding in the woods. In fact Jaws will just come right up to you and chew off your leg.
The shark does not target gangs of randy teenagers. She kills anyone who happens to be handy at the time.
Three middle aged men are the heroes. No drop dead gorgeous male model types here, these are real men! Apart from Chief Brody who is pretty much afraid of everything.
Jaws is just as comfortable attacking you in broad daylight, with the sun shining, as she is sneaking up on you and ramming your boat in the dead of night.
This is probably the first horror film I ever saw, and it scared the living daylights out of me (I was probably a bit too young to be watching it!). Anyone who has seen Hooper get the fright of his life whilst examining the abandoned boat will know exactly what I'm talking about!
I don't think I've ever met anyone who didn't like this film, and I'll bet most people will know at least one quote from it. If you haven't seen it, go and watch it. If you have seen it, watch it again!
You're gonna need a bigger boat.
