All around boring sexploitation film that isn't all that sleazy (though plenty of nudity, but everything was rather tame) though I guess props to some of the underwater photography and gore effects when the Jaws portion of the film, which only makes up maybe 10% of the film, is on-screen. Did make me sqeamish seeing real life fish and sharks being killed for a film like this.

From what I read, there is apparently a two-hour version, I cannot imagine sitting through that, 87-minutes was a tough sit for me. Frankly there's very little redeeming. 1.25/5
