Horror Scenes I Love: Alex Kintner Goes For A Swim in Jaws

Posted on October 21, 2024 by Lisa Marie Bowman

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!

Today, we honor the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock. Not all of his film were horror films, of course. In fact, the majority were not. But his influence on the genre cannot be overstated. Just try to keep track of how many horror films owe a debt to Psycho or The Birds.
