John C Um, yeah, where to begin with this one - okay, simply... just watch 'Jaws.' Many films rip off movies that are far better than them, but at least they try and make a few little tweaks that attempt to stand apart from their originals. Not here. Not really. There's a shake. It's terrorizing a beach. One human believes this and tries to get the local authorities to do the right thing and close the water area to prevent more deaths. Oh, I guess there is one different - 'Jaws' was a great white shark. Here we have a tiger shark. That's about it. If it was just a blatant, pointless rip-off that would be one thing. Sadly, it's also a stupid, blatant, pointless rip-off as well. The shark appears completely bulletproof. I lost count of the amount of times humans try and shoot at it at point blank range, only for it not to take an ounce of damage. I guess the humans could just be so stupid they miss? That could certainly explain it. But then if someone is so stupid that they can't hit a massive shark when up close then they deserve to end up down it's throat. As I say... just watch 'Jaws' if you're looking for a monster movie with a shark in it. And, is it just me, or does the first few bars of the 'Star Wars' theme keep popping up here and there? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Audience Member The shark doesn’t even look real the acting is horrible seriously wtf is this movie Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/25 Full Review James B This was an interesting film. It doesn't have a terrible CGI shark like most shark films use now instead it has that animatronic shark that the jaws films use and I prefer it. It has footage from jaws 2 and 3 and it even has star wars music which is odd. It basically combined the first 3 jaws. Some scenes I just couldn't help but laugh. Contrary to popular beliefs cruel jaws isn't actually part of the franchise even though in some areas it was marketed Jaws 5 which is why the film is so controversial among other reasons. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Cameron William S it is crap real crap i hate it Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/23 Full Review CJ If you love seeing several movies at ripped off at once, then you will love this movie. At 2 points in the movie Star Wars music is used. Wow, just wow. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/30/23 Full Review Brad P Releasing this as Jaws 5 in some territories was fitting because that series was all about diminishing returns and I can safely say Jaws 4: The Revenge (1987) looks like a masterpiece next to this. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
