"If you fancy mixing up your festive themed features with those that are also set around the Christmas period, then yes, it is as much a Christmas film as Die Hard." - Dean Newman, The Daily Jaws
"Though Jaws: The Revenge comes nowhere near the terror-inducing effectiveness of the first film, it may still be interesting to watch for the ridiculous plot, the famous cast--and because its story is set over the Christmas holidays." - Joanna Wilson, Christmas TV History
"Nothing says Christmas more than a rogue shark attack." - Travis Goheen, Weng's Chop
Once again the peace of Amity and the lives of the Brody family are shattered by a bloodthirsty shark in Jaws: The Revenge. Lorraine Gary reprises her role as the now widowed Ellen Brody who finds herself reliving the horrors of the past when a mammoth shark killed her son. Grief-stricken, she travels to the Bahamas to be with her other son, a marine biologist (Lance Guest), and his family. There she meets and falls for a carefree airplane pilot (Academy Award winner Michael Caine). Just as she is starting to put her life back together, the nightmare of the past returns when her granddaughter is attacked by an all-too-familiar great white shark. Determined to end the terror once and for all, Ellen sets out for a showdown to the death.
Plus the short film:
Black Santa’s Revenge

Ken Foree (Dawn of the Dead, The Devil’s Rejects) stars in this two-fisted tale of holiday mayhem based on the popular comic book story.
"Two words ... FUCK YEAH!" - Uncle Creepy, Dread Central
When a gang of sadistic criminals steal all the toys from the community center, it looks like Christmas will be ruined for a lot of boys and girls. Only one man, Black Santa (Foree), can save the day by unleashing his deadly yuletide vengeance!
