Unbelievable but effective movie!

Rating: 9/10 (25 July 1999)

This was I think the first scary movie that I saw in my life. I was about 10 years old and I had nightmares for two maybe three nights. Because of this movie, I developed an interest in sharks, especially the Great White. As I grew older, my knowledge about sharks widened and because of this my opinion about the movie Jaws changed. In a lot of ways this is a unbelievable film (especially how the shark behaves at times). But besides this the film is very effectively shot and the acting is more than well. The film's score by John Williams is also very effective. I think that he's one of the greatest (film-)compo- sers that exists these days. My favourate moments of this movie were especially the "cage- sequence" and when Roy Schneider found the corpse in the sunken boat at night (very scary!).
