JAWS genre?
Hey all just writing a paper justifying the film JAWS as a horror. One questions is though what sub-genre of horror would you class it as? It did start one of its own but i cant think of what the term for it is? It was a new age in horror with natural beasts lol
|
I wouldnt classify it as 'horror' myself .... it's more of monster suspence movie.
|
I would say its a thriller, but thing i dont get, i cant believe that people actually thought that it was scary, i was 5 when i say it and people in the theaters were screaming man, and the sharks dont like actual sharks, the first one was good but the others were just boring

Its not scary when u watch it, but does have an impact weather u relize or not. When I saw Jaws when I was like 6. I thought sharks really were that big. lol I didn't know until I was 11 that great whites are no where near that big.

I think i'm gona watch Jaws tonight, aint watched it in ages
:) |
thanks everyone. I think personally JAWS is a distinct and incredibly influential horror of the late 70s and treuly bites into man's primal fears lol. Will post paper when i am finished. One person is arguing that The Sound of Music is a horror lol

My Fav is the 1st one
|
I must say that JAWS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME!
I even just about could recite it as I watch it.......can see it over and over and never get sick of it!:D |
Jaws is a good movie, but i will continue to hate Peter Benchley forever and ever. He is a piece of shit.
