Bruno Mattei has never been known for originality but this one takes the cake as it not only rips off ideas from Jaws but actually uses scenes from it...AND the sequels...AND it's older cousins, The Last Shark and Deep Blood.
The only fun here though is trying to figure out which scene came from which film otherwise its a dull, eye rolling waste of time.

Far, far superior sequel that gets everything right the first one failed at: likeable characters, some bloody deaths and most importantly, suspense.

I love everything about this movie: the creepy foghorn blowing, the equally creepy score, the scene when the salt water comes in contact with the tape player and starts playing a low (creepy) voice of Blake, the diary which if you feeze it as Malone is flipping through the pages gives a rather raunchy description of some woman, JC's brief role, the really bad elevator music that Stevie Wayne's radio station plays, Blake and his (yes, creepy) crew, the in-jokes of peoples names, Jamie Lee Curtis, Adrienne Barbeau, Hal Holbrook, Darwin Joston, George "There ain't no fog bank out there" Flowers and Tom Freakin' Atkins. Amen.

Others may have come before it, (i.e. Twitch of the Death Nerve; Black Christmas) but no one ever did it as good as John Carpenter with this still effective slasher that begat more ripoffs than any other film.
