7 Horror Movie Creatures That Fed On Humans For Survival

7. The Shark (Jaws)

Let’s start off with a heavy biter, quite literally.

We all know the tale of the placid beach community that suddenly becomes a macabre buffet for a blood-thirsty shark, an alarming situation that is completely ignored by local authorities whose main concern is the loss of profits during the holiday season. From the point of view of the townspeople, this creature represents a menace not only to their limbs, but also to their comfortable way of life. And so the monster is sentenced to die.

But how was the shark supposed to know that its carnivorous ways were a big no-no in the human world?

Following the inevitable pull of its ancestral genetics and predatory instincts, the creature is only doing what it does best. Grab, shred and torn. Repeat over and over again. There’s no ill will in its butchery, only the desire to be satisfied. To keep on swimming, to survive. Plus, we got to admit that the negligence displayed by the government officials leaves reasonable doubt to speculate that more deaths could have been avoided. Guess we’ll never know, unless a Jaws remake is finally confirmed.

Let’s hope we’re left wondering.
