New Terror Surfaces.

This week we dive into a film that somehow rips off the entire Jaws franchise at once: 1995's CRUEL JAWS.

A rogue tiger shark, once a secret military weapon, escapes near Hampton Bay, FL, turning the waters deadly as the town prepares for a regatta. Meanwhile, struggling aquarium owner Dag Soerenson (Richard Dew) faces pressure from a corrupt landowner, unaware of the looming carnage.

Also this week: Lance gets stung by another bee, Ben saves a baby bird, and all this film's stolen sharks.

All this--and a whole lot more--on this week's episode of NEON BRAINIACS!
