JAWS (1975)
A film by Steven Spielberg
w/ Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, Robert Shaw
Celebrating its 50th Anniversary, Steven Spielberg’s summer blockbuster, based on Peter Benchley’s best-selling novel. A killer shark is terrorizing vacationers at Amity Island, and a trio of shark-hunters takes to the high seas in pursuit. John Williams won an Oscar® for his ominous score, and 50 years later, the film continues to make audiences think twice about going in the water.
The fast-moving 124-minute film engenders enormous suspense as the shark attacks a succession of people; the creature is not even seen for about 82 minutes, and a subjective camera technique makes his earlier forays excruciatingly terrifying all the more for the invisibility
