This is a terrifying and classic masterpiece about a coastal community who are being terrorized by a Great White shark.

With the summer tourist season close at hand, the mayor is keen to keep the first attack hushed up so as not to interfere with the hoiday trasde - which relies totally on the beach and sea.
