The premise

After another deadly shark attack, Ellen Brody decides she has had enough of New England's Amity Island and moves to the Caribbean to join her son, Michael, and his family. But a great white shark has followed her there, hungry for more lives.

Horror Vault's take

Years after the horrors of Amity Island, Ellen Brody is once again shattered by a shark-related tragedy and seeks refuge with her son's family in the sunny Bahamas. Her hope for peace is short-lived when it becomes clear that danger has somehow followed her across the ocean. This fourth chapter in the Jaws franchise leans into the personal terror of one woman who refuses to let fear define her — even as a relentless great white closes in. Warm Caribbean backdrops contrast sharply with the dread lurking beneath the surface.
