Bitten: Before and After Jaws - one fan's personal experience of the Jaws phenomenon and beyond (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798396555754)

It shocked us... It scared us... It supposedly had the potential to disturb us. It was like nothing we had ever experienced before, and it changed the public's beachgoing habits overnight.

In 1975, Jaws exploded into popular culture, changing cinema history, and the lives of many who saw it, in the process. For some, nothing would ever be quite the same again. Told from a uniquely personal perspective, BITTEN is an intimate account of how Jaws became a defining experience in the life of one 14-year-old boy in the south of England, going on to become a lifelong obsession. From the times, events, and influences that paved the way to the film's release, to living under its inspirational influence through the years that followed... from Hammer horror and Universal monsters, to a greater appreciation and understanding of cinema in general, BITTEN is the story of a cinematic awakening... a Jaws journey of discovery... and how one simple trip to the pictures can change a life forever.
