A shark scientist reflects on Jaws at 50

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-12 23:50:32

While it wasn’t the first film to feature fast-moving ghouls, there is no denying how much of an impact 28 Days Later had on modern zombie movies. It was a gripping and nauseating wonder, whose action felt uniquely visceral thanks, in part, to director Danny Boyle’s inspired use of a digital video camera. And there was a gut-wrenching
