Steven Spielberg's Jaws popularized terror from nature by showing that, after all, the most horrendous things in this world need not be supernatural. It's the eerie feeling that emanates from a huge great white shark as it hunts for food in a disturbing small beach town. Anticipation in the movie comes from an unseen menace lurking beneath the surface, where the inevitable unknown becomes even more terrible than any living thing.
