Impossibly-Cool Cover Art: Great White

You know, a lot of people don't realize just how much the Italians have contributed to the 'killer shark' genre.  I mean, do you realize just how many times they have ripped off Jaws?  Bruno Mattei even made a 'sequel' to it: Jaws 5: Cruel Jaws.  This is just one of the examples of these films and an example of how to sell a movie to people like me...

Damn- I really want to see that movie!  I mean, that part probably doesn't happen or, if it does, will look nothing like that.

Next up, a B-movie by Bert I. Gordon is turned into a horror film via it's poster.  Stay tuned...

  1. It's an awful movie. You will probably enjoy it, though. There's several licensed foreign DVD's. It's very gory and the shark changes size from shot to shot when actual footage of real sharks aren't being used.
