One of my all time Favorites

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2003)

I first saw this film at the tender age of 7/8 and I remember hiding behind my dad on the sofa pretending to be asleep, much to his amusement, so I could watch it. It scared the c**p out of me and to this day has had quite an affect on my sea faring life. Even though I live in the Chilly UK I'm still subconsciously fearful on the shark infested seas!!. That being said, at the age of 28, I look back at the archive footage and so wish I were 10-15 years older so I could have seen the original screenings when the hype was ripe, much as when Star Wars was first screened. An incredible film with true staying power, and superb acting throughout. I LOVE this film, and re-watch regularly.
I really do hope that the CGI addicted new generation of film watchers embrace this film and others of it's genre and appreciate it for what it truly is!!!.
Long live that damned hungry shark :o)
