Because of the curiosity and mystery that come with shark attacks; they have long inspired Hollywood movie makers. Some notable shark attack movies are: Jaws (1975), Jaws II (1978), Jaws III (1983), Open Water (2003), Open Water II (2006), Deep Blue Sea (1999) and Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (2009). Here’s another fun fact: The Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916 inspired Peter Benchley’s novel Jaws (1974), which Steven Spielberg made into the movie in 1975. Sharks have a bad reputation that is, for the most part, undeserved. Sure they have occasionally attacked humans, but although shark attacks are dangerous, not all of them are fatal. Any shark attack victim will tell you that they are wild animals, and when we head out of our world and into theirs, we are willingly putting ourselves at risk and bad things can happen. It’s not the shark’s fault, but it does make for some pretty awesome videos.
