12 Days of Terror

When a lifeguard discovers the half-eaten body of an ill-fated swimmer, he promptly informs his superiors, who refuse to close the beach for fear the lucrative tourism trade will take a dive. Twelve days later, however, a hungry shark has claimed three more victims and seriously injured another. This made-for-television drama is based on the book by Richard Fernicola, which documents actual events that occurred off the New Jersey coast in 1916.
