Second Best Shark Movie

Since Jaws scared us out of the water in 1975, shark movies have been a standard creature feature concept re-visited repeatedly, with varying degrees of success. These movies strike a primal fear in us, portraying a terrifying natural predator in their world- a setting where humans are somewhat helpless and not in control. For these reasons, there will always be new shark movies to make us afraid to go in the water. Jerry and Matt pick their choices for second best shark movie with Matt selecting The Reef, from 2010 and Jerry going with The Shallows, from 2016. These films are very different in their approach to the material, but both effective at what they do.
