Jaws
When the seaside community of Amity finds itself under attack by a dangerous great white shark, the town's chief of police, a young marine biologist, and a grizzled shark hunter embark on a desperate quest to kill the beast before it strikes again.
Jaws hinges on fear, dread, and the threat of a deadly predator; these horror mechanisms are central to the viewing experience. However, the film also functions as a suspenseful adventure/thriller, so horror is major but not the sole identity.
Best for viewers looking for a high-tension, atmosphere-heavy and low-gore horror movie.
