Preim Day 2025 – Thse Jaws 4K Blu-Ray Deals End Soon

Based on the novel by Peter Benchley, Jaws tells the story of a very hungry Great White shark terrorizing the beachgoers of Amity Island. Wit the bodycount rising and the town expecting a massive influx of visitors for the holiday season, it’s up to a handful of volunteers to hunt down the man-eating beast and stop it for good. While that sounds like a fairly straight-forward B-movie, Jaws was a triumph at the time thanks to a variety of reasons. The animatronic shark was prone to breakdowns and this led to Spielberg and his crew adopting an effective “less-is-more” approach to crafting the suspense of the film, while the iconic score by John Williams helped heighten the scares.

It might have gone over budget and schedule, but with a wide release across hundreds of theaters, Jaws was a box-office hit in 1975. For the bonus materials, you’re getting several lengthy documentaries that explore the troubled production of the film, archival materials, and deleted scenes.

The other big impact that Jaws had on pop culture was that it kickstarted a new genre of “sharksploitation” movies. Jaws had three sequels, and while they are forgettable, they’re still fascinating to watch as they become increasingly silly. You’ll find all of them in this boxset, which comes with a range of behind-the-scenes special features.

Jaws 2 saw the return of a hungry shark to Amity Island–and Roy Scheider’s Chief Brody–Jaws 3 is set in an underwater aquarium that is besieged by a killer shark, and Jaws 4 got ridiculous with its plot about the titular shark being a serial killer hellbent on revenge. Yes, this was Jaws as a slasher movie, or a splasher movie if you want to get technical.

We also want to point out that there’s a very nice steelbook edition of Jaws 3 on sale. It’s possibly the best thing to come out of the threequel, although the film itself is still a weird entry in the series with gorgeous set design released during the height of the first 3D cinema craze. If you have a TV that can play films in 3D, you can watch the movie in that extra-dimension and experience some surprisinggly effective scares in this format.
