Sharks are often portrayed as villains in movies, most famously the Jaws movies and Deep Blue Sea. Though there are many shark horror films, they are all somewhat similar. Here are some of the movies about sharks, some well known, other not so much:
The four Jaws movies: Jaws, Jaws 2, Jaws 3, and Jaws: The Revenge
Another fairly popular shark horror film is Deep Blue Sea

Wow, there are several movies on the list that I haven't seen. However, many of them as you mentioned probably cast sharks as evil monsters, which is not good for their future. Great post.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't good for their future. They're actually6 making another shark horror film in late 2011 or 2012! I guess that they'll never stop making shark horror films, unless sharks go extinct...
