Incident At Black Lake

A "Festivus of Really Crappy Student Films" Golden Shutter Award winner of the 1970's, this Florida State University student film depiction of an unlikely yet terrifying freshwater shark attack is rumoured to have served as the inspiration for a young Steven Spielberg in developing one of the most lucrative shark attack epics of our time.
Filmed entirely on location in Blue Sink in Tallahassee, FL using Kodak Echtachrome 8mm film, this study in contemporary horror brilliantly pairs the essence of fear incarnate and selfless courage, featuring groundbreaking special effects and a musical score that sets the standard for sheer cinematic terror.
Lauded by both the movie-loving public and students of the horror genre, "Incident" remains a timeless classic that takes its rightful place alongside such noble cinematic offerings as Citizen Kane, Gone With The Wind and Plan 9 From Outer Space.

Part Jaws, part Planet of the Apes (that swimming hole reminds me of the early scenes in the first Apes movie).
