The jaw is another movie that well fits into our horror movies list based on true events. Shot in 1975, this film is based on a novel of the same name. It features a story of a police chief who goes to hunt a killer great shark.
It is based on real life happenings in 1916 around the Jersey Shore, where sharks used to attack people. The original shark attacks occurred during the tourist season. At first, the police downplayed the danger and didn’t protect the beaches. A group of guys believed to be vigilantes entered the water and killed the shark.
