I was a baby when Jaws had it's effect on the public so I don't remember how scared it made people to swim again. However, I too was afraid to swim outside of a pool after seeing it at an appropriate age. It kind of looks to me like this could be the modern day Jaws. Time will tell if it has that "effect" on people or not. Maybe we are too desensitized by big Hollywood movies already. The Megalodon is a historic shark that reached up to 60 feet long. No thank you.
The Meg comes out August 10th.
