Jaws II: The Amity Horror

While not as inventive as his Jaws III: Monster edit, Last Survivor has created another wonderful edit. He eliminates some of the "slower" moments to create a faster paced edit, in which he is able to turn Jaws into more of a Jason or Michael type slasher with the non-stop attacks. I've always enjoyed this film, not as much as the original, and like many, have always thought of it as a "teen slasher" flick. For whatever reason during this viewing, I couldn't stop laughing at how ridiculous Jaws was in the non-stop pursuit of trying to kill the teens during the final act. The only real major change to the film is the beginning, and a little bit at the very end, which worked really well for me! I just discovered LS's edits 6 weeks ago, but have enjoyed them all and look forward to any projects he does in the future... If you are a fan of Jaws 2, I think you will enjoy this edit.

It has been a long time since I watched Jaws 2 and was keen to watch it again with the stated improvements. I was not disappointed. This tightens up the story and keeps the focus on the Brody family, trimming away some of the sections which drag. I welcomed the increased colour saturation, but found it pushed a little too red for me, but otherwise, Nice work Last Survivor. Thanks.

Holy macaroni. I always liked Jaws 2. However, I think it's always been too slow and it lacked impact. You turned this beast into a much tighter, more fast paced, intense shark-slasher. I didn't miss a single thing from the original cut, that's how impressive your editing is. The narrative is tight and focused. Loved the warmer colors too. I seriously might never go back to the official cut ever again, that's how much I enjoyed your edit. Might be your best one yet. Keep the amazing work up, man!

While some of the later sequels in the Jaws series are quite terrible (looking at you Jaws: The Revenge), I’ve always found Jaws 2 to be very enjoyable. Definitely has a different tone to the original but that’s not inherently bad. I was really curious to see what LastSurvivor would do with a movie that I already enjoyed and he definitely didn’t disappoint. The Amity Horror couldn’t be a more accurate title because this does play more like a horror movie and it’s all the better for it. The pacing is perfect as are the editing choices. I didn’t miss any of the scenes that were deleted whatsoever. Considering the fact that I’ve always really enjoyed Jaws 2, the fact that this will be my preferred version from now on is high praise! Phenomenal edit and one that is recommended to anyone that loves horror, the Jaws franchise, or shark movies in general.
