What is an Into Film Club?

Synopsis

Set in the quiet American seaside resort of Amity, Jaws had an instant effect on moviegoers when it was first released in 1975 - it stopped them ever wanting to go swimming again! And who could have blamed them? With its tale of an enormous great white shark causing terror to locals and tourists, this is still one of the most thrilling (and terrifying) movies ever made. But will police chief Brody, marine scientist Hooper and the gruff fisherman Quint be able to save Amity from its unwelcome new resident?
