The pinnacle of Steven Spielberg’s short (at the time) directing career, has he done anything since then that’s as raw as this? Every year I pick a horror franchise to check out (or in this case sorta re-check) and this year, we’re watching JAWS, all four (five?) of them. The first one is the absolute best of the lot, with the clear horror tropes: an unseen and unstoppable monster that first kills a teenager that’s getting naked in the ocean, and seems to have a personal vendetta on an entire town of idiots. It’s a well shot and well written movie that’s been often imitated but never truly surpassed.
