The prototype

Rating: 9/10 (14 January 2000)

This is one of the finest horror movies ever made. My math major brain has a strong distinction between fantasy and reality, so it takes a lot for a movie to scare me--so far, only three have. _Jaws_ is one of them (the other two are _The Shining_ and _Psycho_). Literally every single animal attack movie from 1976 on is at worst a rip-off or at best a remake of _Jaws_.
