Cruel Jaws
A tiger shark bred by the Navy as a killing machine is wreaking havoc in the sleepy tourist town of Hampton Bay.
Why it matters
A gleefully schlocky slice of mid-’90s creature-feature madness where a military-grade tiger shark turns Hampton Bay into a feeding frenzy.
- Pure DTV shark horror gold with enough practical gills and fins to satisfy B-movie buffs.
- Military experimentation meets nature’s deadliest predator — a late-era riff on Jaws with bigger teeth and zero subtlety.
- Perfect for fans who love their monster movies loud, dumb, and unapologetically exploitative.
- Lacks polish but makes up for it with campy charm and unhinged set pieces that recall the heyday of VHS shark terror.
