The plot: An animal smuggling deal goes wrong resulting in a huge shark accidentally being let loose in a swamp.


Random observations:

  • Movie: "You're gonna need a bigger Band-Aid". Me: Hahahahahahahahahaha *laughcries*

One thing that made Bob Clark's version better is that the low budget aspect of it actually contributed to the creepiness and horror. This version looks better in a lot of ways, but the polish detracts from the gritty horror that helped the 1974 version succeed better at the goal it se
