10 Scariest Shark Movies!
10. Deep Blue Sea
After Jaws changed the game in 1975, the subsequent years saw countless imitators and low-level dress served up in the shark subgenre - with some knock-off movies even outright stealing footage from Jaws!
All of that changed in 1999, though, when Renny Harlin's Deep Blue Sea utilised a mixture of CGI and animatronics to deliver the best shark movie since Jaws 2 in 1978. Even then, some would argue that Deep Blue Sea is actually a better film than Jaws 2.
Where Jaws 2 is an open water terror ride that hones in on a group of teenagers stranded at sea, Deep Blue Sea is a totally different beast in that its a far more claustrophobic affair. Set in an underwater facility, Deep Blue Sea sees some science whizzes making the genius decision to tinker with shark brains in a poorly-conceived attempt to cure Alzheimer's disease.
The scariest part of Deep Blue Sea? That'd be once the underwater research facility becomes flooded, and the super-smart sharks begin to lurk in the halls and stairwells of the complex - with Saffron Burrows and LL Cool J having particularly tense encounters with these modified mako sharks.
