Peter Benchley Should Rise From The Grave To Sue IMDb
We've all seen bad and really really really bad 'Jaws' backwash, but this one really takes the prize!
Just to clarify, 'Jaws' author Peter Benchley had NOTHING to do with this film! Nor is it based on any of his works!!!
While I can understand these sleazy filmmakers erroneously slapping his name on it, there's no reason for IMDb to outright slander Benchley's good name like this!!! I'm furious!!!
IMDb can't get basic facts right! (as usual). They refer to the shark as a "tiger shark" despite the fact that the shark is consistently referred to in the film as a "great white."
They also state the film takes place off the coast of New York despite the fact it takes place in Florida!
Now it's out of my system.
Anyway, back to the movie review. I find it difficult... no impossible to believe this was "made" in 1995. Based on the music, clothing, and poor camera work it was probably shot with a Beta camcorder in the 1980s.
Even a bad 'Jaws' ripoff should at least have some saving graces, a giant shark, lots of people being killed, bikini girls. But no, 'Cruel Jaws' has such truly horrible characters and "acting" that every single line is like nails on a chalkboard! Every SINGLE line!!!
The special FX are horrible as well, obviously unrelated stock footage of real sharks slowed down, an inflatable shark, and of course the usual air guns as props which produce no muzzle flare and eject no shells. All this is 'Ben-Hur' compared to the "acting!"
As with all 'Jaws' films, yes, there is a scene where the shark eats a helicopter ala 'Jaws 2.' "Just when you thought is was safe to go back in the sky."
Avoid this film at ALL costs! No one can be this hard up for entertainment! I can't even imagine a drinking game revolving around this movie!
