The Worst Jaws Movie Oddly Has the Most Terrifying Scene in the Franchise
Jaws: The Revenge is considered the worst of the shark franchise, but the opening scene with Sean Brody's death is absolutely terrifying.
In 1975, Steven Spielberg changed film and horror forever with Jaws. Not only was it the first big summer blockbuster, but it has led generations to fear going into the water. The chum scene with Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) is one of the most famous jump scares of all time. The entire franchise is filled with many memorable, frightening scenes, but the scariest scene of the franchise doesn't come from the original 1975 film. Believe it or not, it can be found in a movie considered so bad that it put an end to the franchise. We're talking, of course, about 1987's Jaws: The Revenge. Yeah, it deserves its reputation, but it's not all awful. Before it goes off the rails, there are several effective scenes. Among them is the first kill, a moment so tragic and heartbreaking that it's even more terrifying than anything Steven Spielberg gave us.
