Jaws Movie Horror movie Series Review

The Jaws movie single handily made everyone paranoid about Great White Sharks. Thanks to that movie, The Great Whites were haunted for quite a bit. Now, its illegal to kill them. Now, whenever one sees a harmless fin by the sea, all imagine they are seeing a Great White. Its funny because great whites rarely, if ever, attack humans. Regardless, this movie was so popular that it had a few parts and other shark inspired movies based about it. It even has a ride in a Universal Studio theme park in Florida.




As for the movie, the first Jaws movie was directed by Steven Spielberg. It was based on a best selling novel written by Peter Benchley. Anyhow, the movie is about a Giant Great White shark that terrorized New England's Amity Island. In the first scene, a cute teenage girl goes swimming at night. Suddenly, the Jaws theme song resonates, as a fin begins to approach the girl. Suddenly, she gets dragged down under.

Sometime passes, and the corpse of the girl appears by the shore. The police chief, Brody, is shocked by the event. However the major asks him not to make a big deal about. After all, their town depended on tourism to survive. A report of a shark attack could totally ruin their summer. To hide the cause of death, they say the girl died in a boating accident.

As time passes, more and more people are attacked by Jaws. Eventually, they decide to do something about the shark. The rest is history. The ending was pretty peachy and dramatic. Its incredible that this movie was made in 1975. The whole drama and character dynamics of all the characters is pretty cool.

The second part with the new graphics and tech was even more gory, than the first. Its a bummer how you make a second part of such a movie. The story takes place 4 years after the first Jaws attack. Now, the town must deal with a new Great White Shark. This time the first victims were some divers near the broken boat of the first movie. You know, the place where they had the final showdown with the first Jaws.

After these first victims, Jaws killed a chick. You know, sorta to have some continuity with the first Jaws movie. Once again, this Jaws is being a bother to the residents in the Amity Island. Like before, Brody starts finding the path of destruction of the shark. Unlike the first movie, he has to deal with the skepticism of the Islanders.

They imagine him traumatized and paranoid due to his first Jaws encounters. That incident at the beach was no help at all. There he had all the beach goers evacuate at the sight of a strange shadow in the water. It turned out to be nothing, but a school of blue fishes. Nothing too far out there.

You know, I never watched Jaws 3D or Jaws 3. I did watch Jaws 4 or Jaws: The Revenge. This movie focuses on Ellen Brody. She is the wife of chief of Police, Martin Brody.  Early in the film, he dies of a heart attack. His wife thinks he died out of fear of Jaws. She has a firm belief that all great whites are after her family.

I suppose her paranoia was not unfounded. In all three movies, there was a Brody involved. To make matters worse, one of her sons was recently slain by a great white. When he was slain, she goes to the Bahamas to warn her other son about it. The movie is pretty tense. Its just as horrific as the ones that proceeded it. The worst part was when Ellen Brody's Granddaughter was attacked in the beach.

The way the shark jumped her bore semblance to the manner that sharks haunt little seals. To make matters worse, there is the strange eerie psychic connection between Ellen and the shark. However, this connection just seemed to me like the ravings of a crazed lunatic. Well, that is everything worth mentioning about the Jaws movies. They certainly did a good job at demonizing the Great Whites. Truly, the Jaws horror movie series deserve 5 stars rating.
