Thanks in part to Hollywood productions that have presented compellingly bone-chilling horror stories revolving around this, the mystery of the unknown underwater has become a source of intense anxiety. The 1975 film ‘Jaws,’ directed by Steven Spielberg, is often credited with kicking off this horror genre. The picture was a huge hit and is often regarded as the first “summer blockbuster.” Furthermore, it paved the way for the Hollywood blockbuster model, which focuses on basic, high-concept notions with action and adventure that are heavily advertised.

‘Jaws’ is based on Peter Benchley’s 1974 novel of the same name. It centers around a huge white beast that terrorizes the peaceful island of Amity. A marine biologist, a fisherman, and a police chief should all jump into action to combat the threat. ‘Jaws’ was the first major film to be shot entirely on the ocean, which caused a slew of issues throughout production. Despite this, the picture grossed $470.7 million, making it the highest-grossing film until the debut of ‘Star Wars.’ In 2001, it was chosen for preservation in the US National Film Registry.

The goal was to demonstrate how the fear of a monster like a great white shark may destroy a tiny business. As a result, it’s only natural for spectators to be curious about the film’s location.
