12 Days of Terror (2004)  Starring Colin Egglesfield, John Rhys-
Davies, Mark Dexter, Jenna Harrison  Directed by Jack Sholder
Believe it or not, I'm actually something of a history buff. I
probably watch more programming on the History Channel than the
Sci-Fi Channel. It was on the History Channel that I first saw a
special chronicling the 12 days in the summer of 1916 when a
shark terrorized the New Jersey coast. While the actual body
count was minuscule in comparison to the number of people killed
in your average Jaws rip-off, one has to keep in mind that this
sort of thing was unheard of at the time. As the film documents,
scientists were still pretty ignorant when it came to shark
behavior, and after the first attack they are shown scoffing at
the notion that a shark could swim in with the gulf stream so
close to shore and attack people without provocation. The
arrogance of their own self assurance in a science they are only
just beginning to comprehend proves fatal when the shark comes
back for more.  T
