Jaws: The Revenge 1987

It’s a Christmas miracle! The great white shark comes after the Brodys for Christmas in Jaws: The Revenge, and this time it’s personal. When her youngest son is killed by a shark Ellen Brody decides to leave Amity and spend the holidays with her elder son’s family in the Bahamas, but her psychic link to the shark draws him there before long; and he proceeds to stalk after her and her son. The plot is ridiculous and Lorraine Gray is terrible (but part of this is the writing). However, Lance Guest delivers a strong performance, and Michael Caine brings a nice levity to the film. Also, the shark effects aren’t that bad, though there’s no real menace or sense of terror to him (as he’s really only after the Brodys and whoever gets in the way). For a B-horror movie, Jaws: The Revenge is alright and a slight step up from part 3, but it’s not good and an absolute travesty compared to the original.
