This movie scared the shit out of me as a kid.

This one and Tentacles from Italy were the b-movie heavy hitters post-Jaws.
There was also The Deep, Orca and, from Mexico, Tintorera!, although that last one also had a bit of a softcore vibe to it, if I remember the rumors correctly, as I didn't see it.

¡Tintorera! is definitely a movie with a bit more sleaze, especially if you watch the longer cut.

Man, PG was real different from the PG we have today

So was this made to just cash in on the whole jaws thing?

[-] LaurenceWolse@feddit.nl 2 points 10 months ago

Yep! After the success of Jaws, Hollywood began churning out tons of these cheap rip-offs. Some are actually pretty entertaining.
