  1. 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.

  2. It 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...
