Cruel Jaws

A coastal town is terrorized by a giant, man-eating shark. A marine biologist and a local fisherman team up to stop the creature before it claims more victims. Their efforts are hampered by the town's mayor, who is more concerned about the impact on tourism than the lives being lost. The race against time intensifies as the shark's attacks become more frequent and brutal.
