Director Steven Spielberg made film history with Jaws. The thriller released in 1975 is one of those Co-founders of Blockbuster cinema and comes up with one of the most frightening monsters in film history. Movies and series still draw inspiration from Spielberg’s seminal masterpiece today.
Spielberg uses animal horror to great effect while presenting a coastal paradise before our very eyes broken down into its individual parts. Even more than the eponymous monster, this film is about three men from different backgrounds who end up sitting in a boat that is far too small.
Jaws: A Masterful Thriller by Steven Spielberg
But first, Spielberg introduces us to the setting. Amity Island is an idyllic seaside resort that draws crowds of visitors over the summer months. The carelessness comes to an abrupt end in the first few minutes of the film when we Killer’s perspective take, which approaches the bathers under the water surface.

Jaws – Trailer (German)
Despite the danger lurking in the water, Mayor Larry Vaughn (Murray Hamilton) doesn’t want to close the beach. After all the holiday season is just around the corner – the priorities are clear. But local police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) objects and embarks on a shark hunt with scientist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and veteran Quint (Robert Shaw).
We don’t even get to see the actual main attraction for a long time. Although the shark that panics Amity is present from the first minute, Spielberg only hints at the troublemaker with ominous imagery for most of the time. This creates one unbearable tensionwhich is particularly reflected in the looks of the characters, including those of the mayor, who takes refuge in excuses.
Almost more exciting than the menacing movements in the water are the observations that Spielberg makes about the dynamics on land. In about two hours, Jaws will unmask America before the beast emerges and with impassive, dead eyes sends a shiver down your spine. Unstoppable, she rams the last retreat of the people until only chaos reigns. Podcast: The best series in June on Netflix and Co.
