Awesome Characters in an Awesome Premise

Rating: 10/10 (14 May 2020)

Jaws is one of the greatest movies ever made, end of story. This film is a master of practical effects and transcends into the upper echelon of horror, when I wouldn't even consider this just a horror movie. This movie focuses mostly on its characters first and the man eating monster, the Great White Shark, second. This film also uses incredible techniques that hide the shark from the camera, playing on our fear of the unknown. The few times we do see the shark, it's always high stakes and near death. Jaws is a masterfully made Film and probably Spielberg's best movie.
