There is a close up of him being chomped repeatedly as blood fills the water and wounds open up on his body. Blood erupts from his mouth and he is fully consumed by the shark. A large pool of blood is left in the water, and the shark's mouth is covered in blood.
  • A man is dragged out of a rowboat by a shark. He is partially seen in its mouth as it bites down. This is somewhat obscured by the bubbles and water. His bloody severed leg is then seen sinking to the bottom of the ocean. Plenty of blood clouds the water.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • When Hooper goes diving down to Ben Gardner's destroyed boat, we get a jump scare when Ben Gardner's severed head floats out of the boat.

  • The scene in which the shark attacks the character Matt Hooper while hes in a cage under water is quite intense and includes a jump scare.
  • This film has great intensity, and where Brody climbs up the sinking ship, the shark gets very close to him. This scene is extremely intense.
  • At the start of the movie, Chrissie is eaten by the shark while skinny dipping. She is seen being pulled down by the shark a few times and jerked back and forth, until she is pulled under and never comes up.
  • We see through the shark's eyes as he heads for a swimming boy and attacks him (very disturbing). Everyone runs out of the water, leaving the boy's mother alone at the water's edge, calling to her son. Very, very sad.
