| User Reviewpresley hI've studied the 1916 New Jersey shark attacks so much that when this movie came out i pretty much knew what was going to happen but it was still really good. They used all that actual names and they used the names of the actual places. The movie was well done and i really enjoyed it. |
| User ReviewJ Kfkn superb all about the shark that ete six people in 1916 over 12 days a fkn good film |
| User Reviewsam gmeh dono why i liked it enough for 4 stars. wouldnt really recommend it just on movie channel so i watched it |
| User ReviewLance Uthis has a crappy start but a resonable end |
| User ReviewBruce BThis is an excellent B shark movie, about 1916 shark attacks along New Jersey Coast. Only fault of the movie, it was filmed in South Africa, no where along Jersey Caost does it look like scenes in the film, but still an interesting story. 4 Stars |
| User ReviewMeghan Elizabeth AAn interesting look into what inspired Spielberg's Jaws. It was more believable with a real sized shark and you see all the grutesque wounds! |
| User ReviewNuf Ced WSo...I just watched a movie called 12 Days of Terror, and was expecting it to be what one might expect from a made for TV movie, with a not-so-great-as-an-actor-but-dead-ringer-for-Tom-Cruise lead and the one slightly famous actor, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The movie is based on the actual events of the New Jersey shark attacks of 1916, and of coarse as most movies will do, took some liberties with the historical accuracy, but none the less, I was much delighted by the film. Even as far as shark thriller type movies go, I would have to rate this among the best that I have seen, Even with a limited special effects aspect, the movie still was able to maintain a suspense aspect almost as good as Jaws itself. So if you have Netflix, and you enjoy a food shark thriller, I strongly suggest 12 Days of Terror. |

| User ReviewTodd cGood compared to other straight to DVD shark films.Sticks to the real incident pretty well,good story,surprisingly good production value,and SFX we're up to date enough.Really my only complaint is the acting,and it was sort of boring. |
| User ReviewChristopher Lwell told story about the New Jersey shark attacks - a little boring but worth watching |
