Even with the mechanical shark..this movie scares the hell outta me

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 1999)

Come on..admit it! If you saw this movie before TBS edited it and made a mockery of it on TV, it scared the hell out of you! I live in San Diego, where there is not a Great white shark problem. The problem is..this movie ruined swimming anywhere farther than a couple yards off shore for me! Think about it. What would be the worst ways to die? Suffocation? Burned? Crushed? Or drowning while a shark shreds you to pieces.. Its not too realistic but who in the hell cares? A definite classic even with the cheesy FX. Ask anyone who worked by the beach at that time.. The movie definately had an effect on people! A classic!
