Jaws 2 (1978)
Directed by Jeannot
Szwarc this sequel to the classic shark film stars Roy Scheider,
Lorraine Gary and Murray Hamilton. Police Chief Brody and a bunch of
teenagers are once again menaced by a shark during the summer season
on Amity Island.
Taking a turn in to
much more traditional horror film clichés this film relies on a
bunch of teenagers as the bait and it makes the adult protagonist
seem pretty out of place. After having saved the town from one super
shark you have to wonder why again the local politicians do not want
to believe Brody, the only explanation seems to be because that was
what they did in the first film. Despite being Universal's most
expensive film to date the special effects on the shark and the dead
whale that washes up are not that great either.
2/5
