Directed by Enzo G. Castellari

A seaside resort town, regatta day, pennants snapping in the wind and TV crews on the pier waiting for a feel-good story. Then the water turns red. A massive great white has claimed the bay, and the mayor, with a run for governor on his mind, refuses to close the beaches. That leaves a horror novelist and a weathered local shark hunter to head out past the buoys. Castellari serves the oceanic mayhem with full midnight-movie conviction: harpoons, helicopters, chum and teeth.
