DID YOU KNOW?
The animatronic shark they used for the horror shark movie Jaws name is “Bruce.” Three 25-foot sharks were all designed for the movie. All of which were called Bruce by the cast and crew, after director Steven Spielberg’s lawyer. As the famed story goes, the sharks kept malfunctioning in saltwater. This forced Spielberg to get creative and put more focus on character development. Jaws set the precedent for the killer shark trope, with later films taking cues from it.
However, technological advancements have occurred since the movie came out in 1975. These advancements made it possible to use CGI graphics. Instead of having to build mechanical sharks like Bruce, or using live footage of real sharks. The new shark movies of today, such as the Sharknado (2013) and The Shallows (2016), make sharks from computer-generated imagery. The use of CGI provides film creators with more artistic license and a wider range of possible scenarios. Another CGI shark that made waves is the great white shark that Michael Phelps raced. Discovery Channel released a show for Shark Week in 2017. The title of the show was Phelps vs. Shark: Great Gold vs. Great White. In it, the 28-time Olympic medalist was shown to be swimming side-by-side a CGI shark in a 100-meter race, which he lost by two seconds.

I was a little skeptical because the reviews said it was a made for tv movie and sometimes those aren't that great but I was pleasantly surprised. I had to do some fact checking, since this is also based on true events and they did a great job sticking to the actual events that transpired. This one is a keeper and a must watch if you enjoy shark movies."

12 Days of Terror - #2October 2, 2017"Shark movies are all the rage on Netflix right now. There are tons of cheesy sci-fi style movies, but there are also some pretty good, realistic thrillers out there. This is a good one. I've always been uneasy about the ocean but seeing this movie pushed me beyond that. The fact that it's based on a true story is even scarier than the movie itself."

Open Water - #3September 25, 2018"Recently just watched this movie while i was in Asia after more than 35 years since i saw it for the first time. I must admit that it didnt quite have the shock factor when i first saw it but the acting and script felt quaint. Anyway, now i am back home and i can no longer find this on Netflix again i just watched it a few months ago eh."

Jaws - #4January 10, 2017"I was looking for a shark movie to watch the other night on Netflix and came across Sharknado. It's about a tornado that winds up sucking up a bunch of sharks and throwing them all over the place, causing chaos. It was a pretty crazy movie but I was looking for sharks, and I definitely found sharks!"

Sharknado - #5July 27, 2018"THought this was gonna be another weak attempt at a shark thriller but it turned out to be a once-a-decade experience in the movies. Lively being alone out there getting torn piece by piece and getting her stuff stolen and all that packed in just a little over an hour? Sign me up for a replay!"

The Shallows - #6September 25, 2018"Anyone who wants to have a stupid laugh over something so far-fetched i recommend that you watch the Sharknado series especially this one which just continues its stupid antics. I believe this is the weakest link among the series but you will still have fun watching this though"

Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! - #7September 25, 2018"IMO Deep Blues Sea is the best shark movie ever. NGL i have seen this movie more than 50 times already. (take note i rarely watch any movie more than twice eh) What i like about this is that it has a few good moments of suspense and a great surprise kill."

Deep Blue Sea - #8July 27, 2018"remember watching this with my college friends and we were eating a sandwich (we weren't really eating a sandwich HEHEHE) Solid movie to watch with friends! It's a! But recently i checked Netflix to watch this again and i couldnt find it eh"
