Horror Scenes I Love: Alex Kintner Goes For A Swim in Jaws
The first time I saw Jaws, this scene totally freaked me out. Every subsequent time that I’ve watched Jaws, this scene continues to freak me out. Even though I always know it’s coming, the brutality of it always takes me by surprise. This scene and the way it goes from mild comedy (“That’s a real bad hat, Harry!”) to terrifying horror without missing a beat is a reminder that Steven Spielberg definitely knows something about directing.
Poor Alex Kintner!

It’s true! There are goths in Texas. There’s actually quite a few of them. I experimented with being one back when I was eighteen and writing tortured poetry.
So, this video definitely speaks to me.
Enjoy!
