I did research on the jaws opening. This movie itself has created a fear in people ever since it came out, of going out into the water and being scared of not being able to see below the water. The opening scene has a lot to do with that. It starts with two kids getting drunk and flirting. The girl runs off and wants to skinny dip, but the guy passes out on the beach before being able to go in from being too drunk. Then the girl swims out very far and suddenly gets pulled under.
It doesn’t actually show what pulled her under which further reinforces the fear of the unknown. It shows her screaming for help and crying saying it hurts, but you don’t actually see what is hurting her. Even though this movie may not be considered horror It is one of the most horrific sequences in film history because it displays the fear of the unknown so well.
