Wikipedia article
'Great White' (alternatively called 'Shark') is a 2000 horror film written and directed by Zac Reeder. The film is based on the 1916 shark attacks in New Jersey. The film's title was changed to 'Shark' for the first United States home video release, but was kept the same internationally.
Plot
Based on the Jersey Shore attacks of 1916, a string of mysterious deaths begin to plague a small desert town. The events attract the attention of Professor Steven Miller (Richard Keats). At first, Sheriff Ross (Terry Arrowsmith) claims the incidents are the result of mountain animals - but the circumstances don't add up, and Miller is skeptical. With a shark sighting by a town drunk, and a chewed-up body that has washed ashore, Steven must convince the doubtful law enforcement that the waters of Laughlin, Nevada have been invaded by a twelve-foot great white shark.
